Paul Casey moved to the brink of a return to the world’s top 10 yesterday after successfully defending his Valspar Championship title, while Dustin Johnson retained his lead at the summit.
Englishman Casey won only his third PGA Tour title on Sunday, edging out Jason Kokrak and Louis Oosthuizen by one shot, and jumped four places to 11th in the rankings.
Johnson struggled on the final day in Florida, but still finished in a tie for sixth.
The American leads the rankings from Justin Rose, although a red-hot Rory McIlroy is not far behind in fourth after six straight top-six finishes to start the season.
