Feb 16 (Reuters) – Britain’s Paul Casey will miss next
week’s WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Marana, Arizona,
while he continues to recover from a dislocated shoulder,
organisers said on Thursday.
The world number 23 will be replaced by South African George
Coetzee in the elite field of 64 for the opening World Golf
Championships event of the year.
Englishman Casey, who dislocated his shoulder while
snowboarding last month, hopes to make his 2012 PGA Tour debut
at the WGC-Cadillac Championship in Miami from March 8-11.
Casey, a former world number three, was runner-up at the
Accenture Match Play Championship in 2009 and 2010.
