Madrid, Oct 27: Paul Casey, looking for a third European Tour title of the year, led for the first three rounds and led by four going into the final day.
But he took three bogeys in five holes from the seventh as he ran up a 72, the only player in the top 19 players to be over par.
A disconsolate Casey blamed his putting, as well as his swing which he said suffered because of the extra clothing he had to wear during the rainy weekend. "I had 36 putts today and you can't win a tournament with that number of putts. I felt I had one hand on the trophy."
