Dan Steely

How will that effect his place in the next 10?

It has been reported as a back injury. The consolation is that he has a few weeks to recover

Seamus is trending in the wrong direction for quite a while now. He has no coach of any sort. I'm not saying he needs a swing change but he needs somebody who can take a look at him when things aren't going well and tell him what he's doing wrong. Never was this more crucial than the AT&T Pebble Beach in '22 where his game fell off in the third and fourth rounds. If he had somebody to look at his swing after day three and tell him what he needed to fix he could have won instead of falling back to ninth and then missing three consecutive cuts afterwards.

It's nice not to need coaching but you need somebody when you are doing something wrong and need an instant fix.

Yeah he had the hip problem for a few months. Probably just had that good 18 months that Harrington says that a few pros get where they get the breaks etc will always be a journeyman

On the coach point I don't think he wants one. His caddy is off +5 so I'm guessing they can work stuff out together

Amazing that the account of a "journeyman" is likely measured in the tens-of-millions of dollars earned these days!

In fairness, on the "Non-Designated Events" where the fields are weakened, I've looked and he's been listed as a favourite in the betting odds and probably rightly so given he's won some of these and regularly competes in them, quite often leading, granted falling back at times with one poor round thrown in to the mix.

The way of the world. But whilst the earnings of the average to poor PGA pro are up massively than by gone eras. So too is the standard of said pros.

So it's all relative imo.

I think journeyman is an easy get out for describing most pro golfers. The window of peak success for most can be quite short. Some reach it at the end of the career like Richard Bland but otherwise, you can argue his career was 100% journeyman.

Power has wins and enough cash to look back fondly when he eventually retires. There are many great young players coming through each year and Liv will re-integrate at some point soon. Add smaller fields to deal with. The PGA tour will not get any easier. Hopefully, he gets the body right once again and kicks on. It would be awesome to see him make a Ryder Cup squad.

We've had a lot of young pros try to make a step up to the main tour and struggle. It may be a while before we see a new Lowry or Power on tour but there are green shoots. Rory is a generational talent so I'd exclude him from that chat.

McKibbin has the potential to have a career that eclipse's Lowry's in my opinion. He's still a year younger than when Lowry won the Irish Open as an amateur and has a win and a PGA Tour card.

I must be braindead today, I forgot poor Tom existed 😂. It was only days since we were trying to figure out the points needed to get the 10th PGA card. He's got great potential tbf and skipped college to go pro. Would be great to see him kick on.

McKibbin could yet be a generational. He has a bunch of top 10s along with his win and he's only 21. He's very smart on the course, his game management is top notch for someone so young.

I'm really looking forward to seeing him on the PGA tour.

Trampas

Back issues keeping him off the course at the moment

Icemancometh

Looks like he's teeing up this week anyway.

Scrabbel

Easy to overlook with Rory and Shane's 1 & 2 but a nice top 20 for Seamus in a big money tournament. Hopefully he can build on a good start to the year

Yes, it was a good day for all three Irish golfers.

billy3sheets

Was having a nice steady round with 3 birdies and no bogies up to 17th. Then in the water twice for a 7 to finish level 😵‍💫

DellyBelly

Yeah sickner of a finish but he played well for the other 17. Hopefully he kicks on tonight and makes the cut

mitchelsontour

-4 today and should be ok for the weekend.

Good recovery from what happened on 17 yesterday.

Hope he has another good weekend.

boccy23

saw he was in the group with Grillo’s slam dunk ace.

Seamus needs solid finishes this year in the standard events as he is going to miss out on the rest of the signature events. It is much more difficult for the players outside those events to climb up the fed ex and world rankings. Hopefully a low score todsy will propell him up the field

DellyBelly

It'll be a top 40 finish i think...a nice cheque but needs to do better in these events. That triple bogey on the last on the Thursday was pretty costly

Those big numbers have always been a problem. Turn those doubles and triples into bogeys and it adds up overtime.

T-36: Seamus Power, -7/277, $40,997.50

Hardly worth getting up for!

Icemancometh

A pity we're not seeing any of it, but nice to see his name up there.

DellyBelly

Poor day so far on a much easier scoring day unfortunately

DellyBelly

Eagle on the 6th his 15th hole helps...shame it's not being shown in tv

billy3sheets

+1 is not bad as it keeps him in 8th place. The numbers are mad for the hole he eagled. 258 yard second shot, presumably a 3 wood

.

fullstop

Back to back doubles and down to the bottom end of top 30 🤦🏻‍♂️

DellyBelly

Top 30 finish but could should have been better...not a bad cheque all the same
