Seamus Power - PGA Tour Winner 2021/22

Seamus is back into the top 100 in this week's rankings. But only just - his second week at number 100 having been at 105 last week.

That story really brings it home, any day on a golf course no matter how your playing is a good day. Brilliant that he got that invite and that his family will forever have that memory to look back on.

Really looking forward to seeing how Seamus gets on this season, now that the pressure is off and his confidence should be pretty high he will hopefully have some good results/high placed finishes. Hope Motivator is right about a big win being round the corner.

Good opening round from Seamus in Mexico today. Finished -3 which is a good bit back from Wolff who shot the lights out but a good solid round and yet another round under par.

Seamus is out late tomorrow which seems to suit him so he’ll have a very good score to aim at by the time he gets out.

Made the cut again comfortably on -7 in the Myakoba and is tied for 21st. Here's hoping he pushes on over the weekend.

And another one at 8th, up to T3. He really is showing fantastic consistency since April. Hope he can really tear the back 9 apart and be right up there for tomorrow.

Icemancometh · 06-11-2021 5:55pm

One off the lead now. Great start today.

Heighway61 · 06-11-2021 6:04pm

Tearing myself away from Golf's Greatest Holes on Sky to keep up with Seamus' scoring online.

Scrabbel · 06-11-2021 6:31pm

I see he’s playing with Niemann who’s -7 for the day and leading at -14. Hope that target keeps him on his toes.

DellyBelly · 06-11-2021 7:49pm

Unlucky on 15...nearly an ace... unfortunately only gets a par...still in the top 10

Unlucky

Yeah, hit the pin. Missed the putt from 6 feet or so. 8 shots off Hovland though. Top 5 be good result.

dublin49 · 06-11-2021 11:39pm

jesus these tournaments ,if you are not 10 or 12 under after 2 rounds no chance of winning.Dont suit Lowry's slow starts.

The standard of golf on the PGA tour over the last 12 - 18 months is simply frightening. Seamus has only dropped 3 shots in 54 holes and is 8 behind.

To get an idea of how hard it is to even get in to these tournaments, there’s players shooting 66s in Monday qualifiers and getting nowhere near getting a spot in the main event. It really is mad stuff to see players shooting -18 or 19 in PGA events and not even getting a top 5. It’s going to happen that we’ll see a full season in America without having a repeat winner.

Great going by Seamus so far this week though, a top 5 and a nice payday is probably the aim now.

The standard is like you say unbelieveable but I wonder is course set up an issue as well, In the majors a guy can shoot 65 one day and invariably has a modest and regularly a disastrous day 2,doesnt seem to happen much in normal PGA events so it seems a lot of the courses are set up with a birdie fest in mind.

Another solid weeks work for Seamus.

Currently T11.

Will bank about $150k, and another good chunk of fedex and world ranking points.

He will have won about $350k already in the new season. It was probably June when he hit that mark last year. I know his status now is a great help, but he has definitely moved up to another level.

Panrich · 07-11-2021 11:52pm

I'd say that could bring him up about 10 places in the world rankings and up to 36th in the FedEx cup. He really is going very nicely now.

Motivator · 08-11-2021 1:55am

A great week’s work for Seamus.

T-11
4 more rounds in the 60s
Up to 36th in the FedEx standings
Up to a career high 89th in the OWGR
Another decent payday with about $155k earned
Third top-25 finish in a row

In the last 6 months he’s won about 50% of his total career earnings. That win in the Barbasol has really taken him up a notch.

blue note · 08-11-2021 10:48am

A big plus from all of this is that we'll hopefully see him in the Irish Open too. I heard him in an interview say that he wasn't in a position to come over and play it when he was basically doing all he could to make sure he'd have another season on the tour the next year. But now I imagine he will be able to take the week off and come over.

Has a been venue chosen yet by the way? Is it in Mount Juliet again?
