Holed it! Come on Seamus now...

Par on his last hole the 9th and he's in next week, Great run he's on recently

Hardest hole on the course, but he's playing the golf of his life and has gone from not quite having it when necessary to pulling out the goods when the heat is on, so fingers crossed.

Found the fairway with his drive

par at last will /should get him in

48ft to hole but on left fairway. Must be on the fringe or run off area.

Looks like it, the only chance is a complete Hoge collapse, but that looks unlikely.

Disaster.....

He still needs to drop a couple more but after a quad, it's possible I suppose!

Motivator

What a total sickener this is. Still has a very outside chance depending on others dropping shots but I’d say the chance is gone.

Scrabbel

Would Mitchell’s move have edged him out anyway?

being honest he's had an important year and sorted himself with the exemption and PGA pension and was very unlikely to do something amazing when the full field of top golfers is present and correct.

he's a great golfer but not top 50 in the world.

Yeah dropped to 72nd, Mitchell birdied last 3.

Pity, would have been a great end to the season to make the BMW but he can be very happy with what he's achieved. Good luck to Seamus in 21/22.

Rikand

His interview was class as always. Even in disappointment he was still so chilled and cest la vie. Hard to be too disappointed with the year he has had

Motivator

It’s a good thing he missed the putt on his last hole. I think if he made it he would have finished 71st and missed out on the BMW by something like .4 of a point. Now that really would have been a sickener.

Overall, what a last 5 months for Seamus it’s hard to be too disappointed all things considered. In the spring we were all just hoping he would make a cut to get a few quid together and boost his points. The win seems ages ago now but the new season won’t be long starting. Hopefully he can push on again next year safe in the knowledge that he’s not under immense pressure every week to perform well. He can almost freewheel through the year and look forward to the big tournaments and of course his first major. Top class guy and I’m so delighted for him.

Wouldn't be surprised if he wins one of those early season wrap around events before the top guys get going again.

Think he could have a big year, there's certainly more regular tour wins in him and who knows what else, if you're not in.........

Hope to see him on the European Tour over the next few weeks now that he is free from PGA Tour, surely he will get some invites?

Just did the maths there (because I'm avoiding work), he would've missed it by 3 points, incredible and I'm sure someone will tell him and he'll be a little less disappointed.

I'd say he'll take a good break and get ready for the new season which starts again just before the Ryder Cup on September 13, another win and he could get himself into the WGCs and the rest of the majors. he'll want to hit the ground running now he's healthy, playing well and free from pressure.

The new PGA season starts in 3 weeks, the week before the Ryder Cup 😄

He's had a great season culminating in the win. There are so many players who never make it when they turn professional, never mind actually winning a tournament so a great achievement for him. Hopefully its the start of something big for Seamus. Even this week when by his own admission he didn't have his A game he still finished in the top 40 in a top class field. So with none of the pressure that he's had to deal with this year, with him being able to set out and plan his itinerary for the year and not worry about qualifiers etc. and with the confidence he will have gained this year, next season could be an even bigger year for Seamus. Here's hoping.

Infoseeker1975

He will definitely be home for the Irish open next year as the win means he is exempt through to 2023, likely to play more than one event in that time hopefully.

With no pressure in terms of status for the next 2 years, I think he could force his way into the top 50 in the world. When a chance pops up of being in contention on the back 9, he will not be thinking of trying to get as many fedex cup points as possible and can simply think of winning.

2 core players of this years Ryder Cup team; Matt Fitzpatrick & Hatton also missed out on top 70 to put into perspective the level he reached this year with no players championship, no world golf events, etc unlike those 2 players.

Let's not get carried away with ourselves. Outside Ireland, he is a relative unknown and represents no value whatsoever (as an invitee) to tournament sponsors in mainland Europe. And the European Tour won't be too inclined to give away any slots at the end of the season when you have lots of local players scrambling for their 2022 tour card.

Good coverage in the media today ......

Turns out he'd have needed a birdie on the last to qualify for next week. Still a great season for him.
