PGA Tour Valspar Championship final leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2019/valspar-championship/leaderboard.html
The lowest score of the day was -3 68 while the scoring average was 72.143 the highest Sunday since that horrible cold rainy final day at Riviera. The Copperhead course at the venerable Innisbrook Resort did nothing but enhance it's reputation as a magnificent test of golf.
Through it all, plus a freshening breeze and slick greens England's Paul Casey took his renewed confidence and played a steady and at times stunning round of golf, a +1 72 and a -8 total which turned out to be good enough for a one shot victory over Louis Oosthuizen (69) an Jason Kokrak (71).
He became the first to defend his Valspar title which he won at -10 last year when he held off Tiger. This year he beat the heavy favourite Dustin Johnson who couldn't make a single birdie and slumped to T6 74..
In doing so he capped off an incredible Florida swing for players from the victorious European Ryder Cup team. Frankie Molinari at Arnie's place, Rory at the Players and now Paul Casey at the Valspar.
Canadian scores: Mackenzie Hughes emerged as the top Canuck after Nick Taylor and Roger Sloan slumped in Sunday's difficult conditions.
Mac Hughes 70 72 68 71 -3 T13, Nick Taylor 71 70 67 75 -1 T24, Roger Sloan 70 72 70 77 +5 T60.
This week the top pros are in Austin Texas for the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play, while the rest are off to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic for the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship.
