(Reuters) - Defending champion Paul Casey spoke with relish on Tuesday of the drama that lies ahead at this week's Irish Open at Fota Island Resort, where three qualifying places for next month's British Open will be up for grabs.

Englishman Casey, who won last year's 72-hole event by three strokes, said the combination of the Irish fans' enthusiasm and a chance to secure places at the British Open, to be played at Royal Liverpool, Hoylake, ensured great excitement.
