Casey blasts 'boring' course

England's Paul Casey has taken a swipe at the Oak Hill course, after finishing the USPGA at 19 over par.

Ferocious rough lining the fairways and around the greens has been the feature of the final major of the season and sub-par rounds have been priceless all week.

Following a closing 76, the 26-year-old Casey said: "It was pretty horrible to be honest and I'm not afraid to say that (the course) is really boring - not enjoyable whatsoever.

"I've a hard time understanding why they (the organising PGA of America) want par to be a winning score.

"My golf is to go at pins and attack, but when it's like this I've got to alter my thinking and learn to plod away.

"But I would sign a petition asking that other courses are not set up like this."

The prize for best-placed Brit at Oak Hill on Sunday went to Luke Donald.

The 25-year-old Englishman holed a 167-yard seven-iron for an eagle two at the second, but finished on eight-over after a 72, while playing partner Padraig Harrington had a 73 for 10-over.

Gary Evans needed a 60-foot closing birdie putt to finish at 15 over, while Ian Poulter's 79 sent him crashing to 18 over.
