He had another problem too, in beating American Jerry Kelly three and two in the first round - complaining about what he saw as poor crowd control.

"We had a lot of distractions for whatever reason," said the Ryder Cup star, who has yet to lose in the tournament. "They are wonderful crowds, and I don't know why it was difficult. But it just seemed to be people walking all over the place."

He added: "It's one of those things. We tried to speak to someone, but the marshals seemed to be enjoying themselves watching the golf.

"They are volunteers and do a great job. It's just the way it is - I wouldn't want to be a marshal."

Casey next meets US Open champion Angel Cabrera, who crushed Retief Goosen six and five and was an approximate 10 under par to Casey's one over.

"I hope I can bore him to death - down the fairway, on the green, lots of birdie chances," added Casey.

"He will be 20 yards ahead of me, but I just have to be more consistent than he is. I'm going to have to play better golf than I did (Thursday). I feel very lucky."

Colin Montgomerie and Justin Rose both failed to make the quarter-finals, losing heavily to Ernie Els and Hunter Mahan respectively.

Also out is Open champion Padraig Harrington, beaten by Anders Hansen. The Dane is seeking a second victory at Wentworth this year after his play-off win over Rose in the BMW PGA Championship in May.
