“Oh my God, I like so much to be on top!” These are the words Brian Casey said as he was in front of the scoreboard for the final picture. The 22 year old fired second best score tie of the day, 67 to win by 5 shots the Alps Tour Q School final Stage.
“It’s my first ever card so I am actually delighted about that. I’ve got so much to play next year that’s for sure. It’s giving me a sense of security. I like to be a part of the Alps Tour.”
“I had a nice start today, I was 3 ahead after 2 because on guy bogeyed the first and the other bogeyed the second. And I was a lot better with the wedge today.”
“The goal for next year is to win earlier on the Alps Tour and then to be on top 5. I will have now a few weeks off and see my family and then go back to the gym to get some muscles back…”
