Seamus Power - PGA Tour Winner 2021/22

He's got his best golf back.vy the looks of things, a real treat to win this if the late starters don't get a nice morning

Must've hired a coach

Ah the childish response.😁

It's taken him quite a while to get it back with such a simple problem leading to other parts of his game struggling.

Anyways all I hope is that he has a great tournament and makes it into the Masters. I'm a fan who just wants to see him succeed.

I probably have more belief that most in how much potential he has. I firmly believe he could make the top ten in the world.

Main priority of making the cut has been achieved. He played those last three holes really well, he had really good birdie chances on 16 (last night) and 17 today and was putting for birdie on the 18th. He might be disappointed to have played them in one over but he seems to be playing well and no double bogeys on the first two days which is very good around there in those conditions. Hopefully he can put together another two good rounds and book his place in the Masters.

Any estimate at what he needs to make the masters?

He has been slipping down the ranking slowly. We will have a fair idea after this weekend. 47th or better should be enough. 49 or 50 not enough I'd say.

it's the top 50 on 28th March, after the WGC which he'll be in

Very frustrating 14 holes for Seamus so far. He’s -1 for his round but had a double bogey on the 4th after finding the water with his second. He’s had a look for birdie on nearly every hole and his putts just shaved the edge. Made 3 birdies but take that double out of it and he’d be right in it. The lads in front are going to make mistakes and someone in that -5 or -6 bracket at the moment is going to put something together tomorrow - could be Lowry. We’ve seen it before where a fella gets in to the weekend by the skin of his teeth and puts together a couple of very good rounds to win it.

If Seamus could find 2 more birdies and get finished at -5 tomorrow he’ll be well rested & if he’s only 3 back you just never know what could happen. Big money and points on offer way down the field so it’s a tournament you have a free shot at if you’re within striking distance.

A birdie finish at least. Plenty to do later today.

Flying it today

Good enough finish to move up from OWGR 50th ?

Pity how 17 stalled him today, but a decent showing. Hopefully it will be enough to hold his top 50 spot

I reckon a t34 should keep him in 50th or even jump a spot. I think if he were to win one of his matches in the match play it would seal it.

I think he could go very well in the match play, he has said it a load of times in interviews that he loves the format and played it all through his youth career in Ireland. We saw how he handled the playoff in the Barbasol as well, he would be worth a small bet at a likely big price. Especially with a lot of the big names struggling over the last couple of weeks you just never know. This week was definitely a step in the right direction, a couple of loose shots cost him over the four days and came at the worst time in his rounds as his doubles came when he was going well and killed his momentum.

Up to 48 by looks of things

Just having a look at this week’s scores and how they might impact on Seamus’s position in the top 50 of the OWGR. Of the players just behind him, Tringale and Bezuidenhout are not likely to score many world ranking points (if any), while Hughes and Bubba both missed the cut. But Noren and Harmon are both playing well and both of them could move past Seamus this week, pushing him down to 50th in the rankings.

On the other hand, Mickelson is falling in the rankings and will only be marginally ahead of Seamus in next week’s ranking. Unless he returns to action in the Matchplay (which might not happen even if his “suspension/self imposed absence” is lifted), he will fall behind Seamus in the following week’s rankings, even if Seamus picks up no world ranking points in the Matchplay.
