Casey Edges Out Reed, Tiger, Garcia, Rose For Valspar Championship

Paul Casey won the 2018 Valspar Championship with a 6-under 65 in the final round to finish at 10 under on the week. He narrowly beat Tiger Woods and Patrick Reed by one stroke each despite Woods' crazy 44-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole on Sunday that put him in contention for his first PGA Tour victory since 2013.
 
Woods, who shot 1-under 70 missed a 38-foot birdie on the 72nd hole, and Casey took the trophy after finishing up an hour before Woods. 
 
Woods who shot his two best scores of the season and easily had his best finish.
 
Woods finished 52nd in the field in proximity to the hole on Sunday and gave himself just two looks at birdie under 15 feet.
 
Garcia shot a round-of-the-week 65 on Sunday and looked like he was going to legitimately backdoor his way into a playoff or better for much of the day. Garcia finished first in the field in strokes gained tee to green and 71st in putting, of the 78 players who made the cut. 
 
Rory McIlroy missed the cut again this week and has now played 13 rounds on the PGA Tour this year, and only three of those have been in the 60s. He shot 74-73 this week, which marks his fifth and sixth consecutive rounds over par on the year. 
 
Things weren't much better for Jordan Spieth, who missed the 19th cut of his career (two more than Tiger Woods, by the way).
