Seamus Power - PGA Tour Winner 2021/22

boardise · 07-04-2022 1:02pm

I'm a fan of Seamus and wish nothing but the best for him. Who wouldn't be a fan after his resolute journey from obscurity to the prominence of the top 50. Only golf aficionados and members of his close circle would've known his innate ability and potential. I assumed his career would fizzle out and he would disappear off the radar.

I fervently hope I'm wrong but my expectation is that he'll miss the cut ...as many great players have already done e.g. Dustin Johnson ,

Garcia , Koepka , McIlroy , Ballesteros, Westwood. In all 11 defending Masters champions have missed the cut.

The Masters is ruined already On Sky Sports. Its Tiger this and Tiger that. I think we’ll see very little of anyone else. Tiger Tiger Tiger. Fed up of it already and we haven’t even seen anyone drive off yet.

Ah come on. It'll literally be the same everywhere - It's the biggest story. It's actually borderline incomprehensible that he's playing this week.

Not unimagineable he turned up but will be something if he competes at business end of things.Saw shots of him on Sports news and thought he was limping quite noticeably.

So many people said he may never swing a club ever again. It's a huge story. Can't see how anyone would honestly say otherwise nor not understand why Sky etc. are doing this

Doing it is one thing. Overdoing it is another.

Widdensushi · 07-04-2022 3:17pm

Tiger looks like he is doped up putting there.

In the scheme of things they are not overdoing it. It makes sense that all eyes would be on him.

In fairness, drug testing in golf is non-existent

Scrabbel · 07-04-2022 6:39pm

Just loving the way the Masters app and site lets you see every shot of every player. Good steady start by Seamus after 2.

We don't need to see him standing in the fairway waiting to take shots, I haven't seen one matsuyama shot even may have missed it it was onky one its a joke.

I dunno. But I do know this is the Seamus Power thread

Panrich · 07-04-2022 8:20pm

Seamus playing steady enough golf but has missed 3 chances for birdie from inside about 10 feet. He needs to start taking advantage of good approach play.

dublin49 · 07-04-2022 9:51pm

the masters app is great and in reality we should be able to follow our man for his full round,the fact we can't would suggest there is no demand for that which is very strange as you would think every golf fan has a personal favourite.

Panrich · 07-04-2022 10:44pm

Hasn't birdied any of the par 5's. That is usually a strength of his and he had birdie putts on all 4 but look at Willett as an example of a player who was -4 on the par 5's today. It helps your round so much around here.

Motivator · 08-04-2022 9:02am

No 3 putts for Seamus yesterday which is fair going in difficult enough conditions with the wind, on probably the hardest greens anywhere in the world.

Frustrating in the fact that there were no birdies but he gave himself plenty of opportunities which is very encouraging. There weren’t many mistakes made and where he did make mistakes he got himself out of jail with a couple of good 5 or 6 foot putts for par. Encouraging start though and a 70 today would probably be enough to make the weekend.

The app is brilliant, so much better than the PGA Tour app and updates significantly quicker too.

Panrich · 08-04-2022 4:34pm

He's not having much luck today and 3 bogeys in the last 4 holes. He needs to steady the ship and he can still make the cut as it's not easy out there. Still no birdies after 32 holes doesn't help but just one 3 putt helps keep him in contention. The run from here to 13 is crucial.

Too early for predicted cut? Might need to find a birdie or two

Panrich · 08-04-2022 4:58pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118899349#Comment_118899349

I think it could be +4 or +5 but that depends on whether the wind gets up later.

Mushy · 08-04-2022 5:03pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118899349#Comment_118899349

There's a data website that's currently predicting +4, but of course a lot of golf to be played.

Dr Turk Turkelton · 08-04-2022 5:58pm

+6 now and the wind seems to really have ran out of his sails.

Was hoping he would at least make the cut.

Dr Turk Turkelton · 08-04-2022 6:00pm

I should post more, he just birdied 13 after been all over the place with his first 2 shots!

Scrabbel · 08-04-2022 6:22pm

If he gets back to +4 I think he’d definitely make the cut. That’s currently tied 53rd - on average scores are well above par so you’d expect the field to fall back. I actually reckon +5 would do it.

Icemancometh · 08-04-2022 6:45pm

Cracking tee shot on 16, a birdie there and two pars to finish should be plenty.

dublin49 · 08-04-2022 6:55pm

Seamus driving it well last few holes

Mushy · 08-04-2022 6:57pm

Huge birdie on 16, and cutting moves to +4

08-04-2022 7:15pm

Down the middle on 18. Par will guarantee weekend golf.

Panrich · 08-04-2022 7:26pm

That surely gets him through to the weekend. Great showing on his first masters.

08-04-2022 7:27pm

-2 for last 6 holes. Great performance.

Mushy · 08-04-2022 7:32pm

Absolutely unreal by him today, the round could easily have slipped away and the head dropped. Kept in there and very likely get his reward with some weekend golf at Augusta.

Scrabbel · 08-04-2022 7:43pm

Great stuff by him to stay patient and bring that back. Making the cut on your first Masters is excellent. I think he's been playing very cautiously by his standards, leaving a lot of putts on the short side and laying up when in doubt. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get a bit more aggressive tomorrow.

Great prediction buddy!

Infoseeker1975 · 08-04-2022 7:57pm

Absolutely fantastic last 6 holes from Seamus, for a few years he has been close but elite golf is so tough and when one does not have a schedule it is nearly impossible. The ability to have a schedule this year and next, will imho give him a really good chance of making the Ryder Cup.

He will easily make the cut with the wind getting up & the green drying out, the top 16 get in for next year so by the end of the day he is likely to be only 3 shots off that mark with an early start tomorrow, it is all good.

Nothing more predictable than that you would be in with a classless gloat. 😄

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118899958#Comment_118899958

especially for a player "completely out of his depth" . Looks like he will be around for the weekend unlike some big names.

abff · 08-04-2022 8:22pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118899944#Comment_118899944

Yes, you have to hand it to him. Barring a very unusual change in the weather, I think that pretty much guarantees him making the cut.

Speak Now · 08-04-2022 8:56pm

Great effort by Seamus to make the weekend considering he was facing into the back 9 not having had a birdie in the tournament yet.

Motivator · 09-04-2022 12:57am

What a great back 9 from Seamus today, when the chips were down he got aggressive and it paid off. He was probably a bit too tentative yesterday, I don’t think he took on any par 5 but he can flake away over the next two days now and enjoy himself.

He’ll be inside the top 40 in the world come Monday morning and more Fedex points coming his way. A great achievement and I’m absolutely delighted for him. It was a struggle for him today and it looked to be slipping away from him. His face on 12 when he thought he had the ball stitched to the hole said it all. I’d say he was thinking what did he have to do to get a break but he played very well coming home.

It was well deserved after the dig at Seamus, personal insults towards me, fairy stories, and apparent complete lack of golfing knowledge.

Panrich · 09-04-2022 4:09pm

Seamus just hit the pin with his second at the par 5 2nd. It was fairly travelling though and he ended up 50 feet away.

PokeHerKing · 09-04-2022 5:38pm

Hes really butchered the par 5s from great positions today. Pity could have put himself right up the leaderboard.

Panrich · 09-04-2022 6:01pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118903641#Comment_118903641

One birdie from 10 attempts at reachable par 5's is really holding him back

Scrabbel · 09-04-2022 7:54pm

Great chip and run birdie on 18 for another 74. That may not look too bad at all today with the wind the way it is.

abff · 09-04-2022 11:36pm

Whatever way you look at it, it’s another few world ranking points for Seamus and, apart from being his first chance to experience what it’s like playing in a major, it will improve his chances of playing in the next one.

PARlance · 10-04-2022 12:18am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118894470#Comment_118894470

They're hardly going to start testing him at this stage.

Well done Seamus, rather than being out of his depth, he was thrown in at the deep end and survived. A learning experience for him and a few more.

Panrich · 10-04-2022 10:21am

He’s shown that he can mix it in that company now. His showing against Scheffler in the match play where he was still tied going down 12 having gone toe to toe from the start looks even better in hindsight.

Panrich · 10-04-2022 8:41pm

Final round 70 and level par for the weekend. Currently T-26 but that will probably drop a few places.

Mysterypunter · 10-04-2022 8:44pm

Seamus did ok, especially for his first Major

Scrabbel · 10-04-2022 8:46pm

Didn’t want to say this until now but to have nothing worse than bogey in all 4 rounds on a Masters debut is outstanding stuff. Could even sneak into Top 25 at +4. Fantastic week’s work.
