Casey wins tournament in Bahrain

MANAMA, Bahrain, Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Paul Casey shot a 4-under-par 68 Sunday in claiming a 1-stroke victory at the European Tour's Volvo Golf Champions event in Bahrain.

Casey had a bogey on the 16th hole in the final round but was still able to hold off Peter Hanson and Miguel Angel Jimenez for his 11th European Tour title but first win in nearly two years. He finished the tournament at 20-under 268 and won $385,500.

Hanson, who started Sunday's play tied with Casey for the lead, had a final-hole bogey for a 3-under 69. Jimenez closed with a birdie that allowed him to tie Hanson at 19-under. The runner-up finish was worth $200,800 to each player.

Stephen Gallacher, who shot 67 Sunday, was fourth at 18-under and Robert Karlsson had a final-round 66 for a fifth-place score of 17-under.

Casey and Hanson headed to the 72nd hole tied but Hanson ended up in the green-side bunker and took a 5 on the par-4 18th. Casey was able to get into position for a 6-foot par putt, which he made for the win.
