ANTALYA, Turkey: Masters champion Sergio Garcia deserves to be named European Tour ‘Golfer of the Year’ according to Justin Rose, one of the Spaniard’s main competitors for the honor. Meanwhile, Rose welcomed the news that good friend and countryman Paul Casey has elected to rejoin the European Tour, thus making himself available for Ryder Cup selection. Casey, 40, has not been a member of the European Tour for nearly a decade while concentrating on the PGA Tour. But thanks to the intervention of European Team captain Thomas Bjorn, the veteran of three European teams can put himself in contention for Ryder Cup selection. “It is brilliant Paul has rejoined the Tour given the way he has played this past PGA Tour season,” said Rose.
