"The golf up here, plain and simple" - Paul Casey relishes return to the UK, expresses fondness for golf's uniqueness in his hometown   

English golfer Paul Casey has been playing on American soil for over two decades now. After his first marriage with Jocelyn Hefner, he settled in the country and resided in Scottsdale, Arizona. Now, he is married to British television presenter Pollyanna Woodward.

Recently, Golf Monthly shared a Twitter post that had a quoted statement from Casey. Despite living in the US for about 26 years, he shared that he loved being back in his homeland.

He added by mentioning the highlights of the United Kingdom and saying:

"I love it. I've lived in the States for 26 years, but I love being back here. I miss it. There's a lot of reasons, there's the frivolous reasons like the chocolate and the bread and the cheese and the bacon sarnies in the morning."

Paul Casey added that golf in the United Kingdom is 'plain and simple'. He mentioned the sound of people playing on the turf and their conversations.

"All the stuff that is bad for me. Then it's the other part of it, the people, the conversations, and the weird stuff like the turf. Sounds odd, but just a thud of the turf. The golf up here, plain and simple, it's the best, it really is," Casey added.

Before joining the LIV Golf League, Paul Casey won three tournaments on the PGA Tour. His first victory came in 2009, when he won the Shell Houston Open.
