Holed it! Come on Seamus now...

Golfhead65 · 23-08-2021 9:48pm

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.

loadwire · 23-08-2021 9:48pm

Found the fairway with his drive

dublin49 · 23-08-2021 9:53pm

par at last will /should get him in

23-08-2021 9:57pm

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

The Big Easy · 23-08-2021 10:00pm

Ooof.....10 footer to make next week

loadwire · 23-08-2021 10:01pm

10.5 feet for par

loadwire · 23-08-2021 10:02pm

Missed it

Rikand · 23-08-2021 10:04pm

Pity. Probably going to miss on the bubble

Golfhead65 · 23-08-2021 10:05pm

Van Royan quad bogey throws Seamus a lifeline

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

Ottoman_1000 · 23-08-2021 10:08pm

Disaster.....

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

Motivator · 23-08-2021 10:37pm

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 · 23-08-2021 10:42pm

Would Mitchell’s move have edged him out anyway?

23-08-2021 10:45pm

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.

coylemj · 24-08-2021 1:57am

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 · 24-08-2021 7:34am

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 · 24-08-2021 8:45am

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.........

Leslie91 · 24-08-2021 9:34am

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?

The Big Easy · 24-08-2021 9:46am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117795969#Comment_117795969

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.

The Big Easy · 24-08-2021 10:05am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117796134#Comment_117796134

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 😄

Lad GAGA · 24-08-2021 10:39am

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 · 24-08-2021 1:17pm

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.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117796134#Comment_117796134

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 ......

billy3sheets · 24-08-2021 10:20pm

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

bigtimecharlie · 09-09-2021 4:28pm

Any one know what his schedule for the next season is?

The Big Easy · 09-09-2021 9:30pm

I doubt Seamus knows yet 🤪

Trampas · 10-09-2021 5:47am

Season starts next week so I assume he has an idea. I’d like to see him play as much as he can and get out there early. Get a good footing on the points list

The Big Easy · 10-09-2021 9:40am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117870791#Comment_117870791

Fair, but I don't think he'll know much beyond this wraparound part of the season and the tournament of champions in January (I presume his win gets him in that?).

His schedule is still going to be heavily dependent upon his OWGR and whether he can get in the top 50 before next season proper starts (big ask but I'd say it's what he's aiming for)

bamayang · 10-09-2021 10:21pm

Spoke at an event in Dunmore today. Seems a wicked nice fella.

Dunmore East?

bamayang · 10-09-2021 10:35pm

Yea

Motivator · 12-09-2021 6:21pm

As far as I know, Seamus plans on getting 6 or 7 tournaments played before the end of November. His first start is the last week of September.

abff · 14-09-2021 1:04pm

I'm surprised that Seamus has decided to give this week's tournament a miss. With all the Ryder Cup players missing apart from Rahm, it would have been an ideal opportunity to kickstart his season.

paulos53 · 14-09-2021 1:36pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117889403#Comment_117889403

He has played this event 4 times previously and missed the cut each time. He now has the luxury of being able to miss events on courses that don't suit him

Dbu · 14-09-2021 2:38pm

On a side note, His Caddy Simon Keelan won best gross in the Douglas Golf Club Captains prize last weekend

Motivator · 29-09-2021 11:01pm

Seamus kicks off his season tomorrow at the Sanderson Farms. Very interesting to see how he gets on here, it’s the start of a busy stretch for him so fingers crossed.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117957115#Comment_117957115

Hopefully he gets off to a flier, was most impressed with his form during the summer. Had finally sorted out Sunday afternoon issues, keep the hammer down and press on because his talent merits it.

Motivator · 30-09-2021 8:11am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117957139#Comment_117957139

It’s very hard to know what kind of a start he will get off to. He was back in Ireland for a couple of weeks and is only back in the states maybe the last 10 days or so. He was playing golf in Ireland (albeit with his buddies) so it’s not like he was away from a club completely. He was in such good form hopefully he picks up where he left off and the biggest thing is he has going for him is this season is essentially a free hit. He has no pressure on him so he can go out and play unrestricted. Best of luck to him.

Mantis Toboggan · 30-09-2021 8:45am

When you say this year is a free hit for him does that mean finishing in the top 125 is irrelevant and won't affect his card for next season?

The Big Easy · 30-09-2021 10:01am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117957672#Comment_117957672

Yeah his card is secured through the end of 2023 regardless of results for this season. Hopefully his card won't be something he needs to think about again for a long number of years. The next step is a win in a full PGA Tour event, maybe this week, you never know!

Rigor Mortis · 30-09-2021 11:35am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117957938#Comment_117957938

Was the Barbasol not a full PGA Tour event?

The Big Easy · 30-09-2021 12:45pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117958324#Comment_117958324

No, not really, it was the same week as the Open, so was a reduced prize pool and doesn't carry the same exemptions (mostly but not the Masters if an opposite field event). It was also worth less Fed Ex Cup points than a regular tournament. It still carried the same two-year exemption for the Tour.

I'm open to correction on the Masters qualification, but Seamus has time to get into the top 50 before then and maybe win a full tournament before the cut off.

Motivator · 30-09-2021 1:50pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117958625#Comment_117958625

Yes to qualify for Augusta he will need to either win a full event or be inside the top 50 in the world rankings.

This season will be a whole different ball game for Seamus. It’s the first team he can really gamble and take chances without looking over his shoulder every week. It’s also the first time he can really plan out his season. Gone are the days where he’s had to play a course that he knows doesn’t suit him but he has to play anyway in the hope he gets lucky. The pressure is really off and he can just go and enjoy himself now. God knows what that could do for his confidence. He knows he’s good enough and the win has shown others that he’s good enough to do it.

dublin49 · 30-09-2021 5:24pm

birdied 3 of the 4 par 5's which is great.Paddy and Shane so often don't get their fair share of birdies on par 5's and it really puts you at a severe disadvantage to rest of field if you are not getting getting your share .Just checked PGA stats and Shane below num 130 for scoring on par 5s for year 2021.Hard to believe with his short game his scoring average on par 5s isnt better.
