Paul Casey Answers Fans’ Questions Live on Facebook and Twitter

This afternoon Nike Golf fielded questions for athlete Paul Casey from fans and followers of Nike Golf through their Facebook page and Twitter account. Then from 4 to 5 p.m. PST Paul answered some of these questions live from Nike Golf World Headquarters. The questions included a wide variety of topics that prompted some interesting responses, and I was honored to have three of my questions answered by Paul on Twitter.
