Casey shoots the lights out for nine incredible holes, admits 'I had no concept of what I was doing'

Paul Casey started the day in danger of missing the cut at the Byron Nelson, believe it or not.

PAUL CASEY TIED the PGA Tour record for the lowest-ever back nine with a quite remarkable 27 at the HP Byron Nelson Challenge yesterday.

After making it to the turn in one-over par for the front nine, Casey filled out his card with six birdies and an eagle on the way home.

It left him with a round of seven-under par 63 and meant that after flirting with the cut at the start of the day, he’s now tied for second and just two shots off leader Brendon Todd.

“Genuinely I had no concept of what I was doing out there,” he admitted afterwards.

“To be honest, certainly for the first six holes I’m thinking, wow, I’m struggling around this golf course.

“I eagled the seventh which was fantastic but the seal was broken when I got to 10 and it spiralled from there.

“I had no concept of the score. I was still very much focused on trying to guarantee I was playing the weekend.

“When my caddy told me, walking off 18, he was struggling to add it up!”
