AUSTIN, Texas — Paul Casey conceded his first match of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play on Wednesday after just two holes — one he won — citing back spasms as the reason.
On Thursday, he didn’t even show up to the tee box for his second-round match with Alex Noren at Austin Country Club.
Casey said he was taped, went through physio and had ice and heat treatments before realizing he simply couldn’t compete.
