Seamus Power - PGA Tour Winner 2021/22

Scrabbel

it's great to see him back in contention going into the final round and getting lots of coverage (pun intended). Hopefully a good finish (and again!) today to get him moving back up the rankings. Obviously, hoping for a win.

OEP

Nice interview with Kimmage in the Independent

eagle eye

It's a difficult course. If you are a little off your game it'll eat you alive.

Hopefully he is on today. He's playing in the last group with Mitchell so he has an early target and that's to catch Keith. If he gets there then it's game on. He's stayed in contention in most events where he goes into the final round high on the leaderboard.

38 putts for Justin Thomas yesterday...can happen to anyone I guess, hope for us mere mortals yet

Scrabbel

Cmon Seamus!

M.T. Cranium

Got any live coverage? I do, Power (and Keith Mitchell) just parred hole #1 and none of the many in contention are moving up so far, Schauffele is moving up well in front of leaders (gained 5 11-14) but I don't think he can get to -10 (Keith Mitchell's current leading score). Fairly average day for scoring and I would say -13 or -14 will be winning score.

Mitchell just dropped a shot so he's back to -9. Very crowded leaderboard. As of 18:24 there's 15 players within three shots of the leader (-9 down to -6) and only four of them are on the back 9. All to play for.

Mushy

I've now seem Seamus on 2 holes i week and it's a bogey both times...Time to turn off again

tayto lover

Shot dropped on 2nd. 3 behind now, Bad start but hopefully he gets it back soon.

big_drive

Shaky enough start for Power, but no other player doing too much either so it keeps him in it

DellyBelly

Birdie on 5...so only 1 off the lead

Scrabbel

And bogey again. All shots very expensive with such a bunched leaderboard.

Apologies if you thought I was being nasty. I just felt that your comment was having an unwarranted dig at the previous poster.

DellyBelly

Really poor first 10 holes...down to T14....hopefully can make it into the top 10

Wheels coming off

The Aul Switcharoo

Very scruffy front nine. Looked very nervous on the first. Duffed an easy pitch on the first.

The Aul Switcharoo

20ft for eagle on 11 to get back into it though

Scrabbel

Into the water at 12, that's a pity. Oh well, first significant contention after injury so maybe no surprise. Doesn't help that Mitchell is having a stinker too, +6 today

The Aul Switcharoo

Triple after dumping it in the drink

Needs to settle and try and make a few pars. Burning money and points

eagle eye

If your game is a bit below normal on this course you pay a big price, very tough course if it's an off day.

DellyBelly

Disaster....pity its fallen apart

Trampas

Seamie and Mitchell couldn’t get going to drag other one along

Dan Steely

Disappointing for Seamus.

Anyone know why Malnati got the drop on 16?

Barnaboy

Finishing T26 playing in last group is going to hurt. Low quality field as well. But i suppose it was great that he got there in the first place.

When do his exemptions last until?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121935611#Comment_121935611

To the end of 2025. See 'Exempt status' at the end of the Bio section of his profile on the PGA Tour website....

Only won $60k out of the Valspar.😕

The Aul Switcharoo

Malnati was standing on sprinkler so could move a club length away from nearest point of relief. He even said it was some break. Funny chap all the same

Trampas

close this thread until after Sunday

DellyBelly

Poor back 9 yesterday...hopefully can hold it together over the weekend..

Motivator

smashing round of golf from Seamus tonight, -5 for his round with only one dropped shot. He’s 4 behind but unfortunately he’s 4 behind Scheffler. A good round tomorrow and a top 5 finish would do wonders for his confidence and his season. Huge money on offer here with $800,000 for 5th.

The Big Easy

Good stuff from Seamus so far, but he'll need to shoot well into the 60s to hold onto a top 10, anything around level and he'll be run over.

He had a really bad last round when in contention earlier in the year. Hoping for a better one tonight, but he's obviously in better health and trending the right way, good chance to put himself in a great spot for the rest of the year tonight.

Good luck Seamus!

Barnaboy

Looks like you cursed him! +1 assuming he pars the last 12th place is very respectable.

Must be really annoying for him to come back later today to play half a hole!

Trampas

Especially after the amount of money and fedex points he burnt near the end

billy3sheets

I think the rain upset him. Coming from Waterford he wouldn't be used to it 😁

ye the 2 back 9 bogeys cost him the guts of 200g but considering where he was a couple

Months ago, it’s a solid top 15 in an event that is the next most competitive outside of the majors and has all the top guys (except LIV) He’s back in the top 70 standings which he needs for the FedEx playoffs but a lot of work to do. The standard needed to maintain a high place on the PGA tour nowadays is insane

GolfPar

Projected 69th in the Fedex standings now.

nice!

billy3sheets

70th in the Fedex standings. 107 in OWGR.

slave1

107, wow, hadn't been tracking him, that's some drop

It's just like the WHS when a few big scores drop off the record. A run of shite results drops the bell curve in the wrong direction. The calculation runs over nearly 2 years and weighs recent results heavier, hence Aberg getting a huge jump from nowhere to top 10 very quickly (he's been exceptional tbf).

mitchelsontour

You're forgetting that he has had an injury and just getting back in to the routine.

coillcam

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122062956#Comment_122062956

Injury is the reason his form dropped off a cliff and ranking system doesn't take injuries into account. You'll see posts from myself and others last year where we suspected he was playing injured for some time ahead of the open. He had pulled out of the dunhill and we thought he'd miss the open but was able to tog out. The injury was later confirmed in an interview iirc.

Tbf he's had some bad luck with injuries. Hopefully a clean bill of health and he can kick on again.

The top 100 in the world rankings after this weekend should get invites to the USPGA. Probably needs a top 15 to be in with a chance.

I think the top 100 part is at the discretion of the PGA - depending on field size. It would be very unusual not to be invited once in the top 100 - but it's not guaranteed.

bigtimecharlie

Likely to miss the cut with -2 for 36 holes.

He's slipping away and need's a turn in fortunes.

bamayang

gave up 5 strokes on last 3 holes!

DellyBelly

Awful awful finish.....

Dan Steely

What happened to Seamus over the final holes?

PokeHerKing

very tough closing holes
