Seamus Power - PGA Tour Winner 2021/22

boardise · 10-04-2022 8:47pm

Great show from Seamus. Drove beautifully the last two rounds and finally found a spark to break par. He can look forward to the rest of the season with relish...as can we. 🙂

Mushy · 10-04-2022 8:49pm

Delighted he got a round under par, give him more confidence for the season. A commendable debut, so consistent

OEP · 10-04-2022 9:21pm

You could see on the first two days that he didn't have a hang of the greens. He was really struggling to land it in the right places, he's usually so good with his approach shots.

Motivator · 10-04-2022 10:15pm

What a four days for him and it could and should have been so much better. I genuinely lost count of how many birdie putts slipped by over the four days. The mistakes he made were fractional as well. No double bogeys either despite very difficult conditions for the first 3 days.

A magnificent performance from the man and if he continues to play like this he’s going to contend soon. I know he’ll finish a long way off whatever the winning score will be, but the score doesn’t tell the true story of his four days. I’m delighted for him and I’d say when the updated rankings are posted we’ll see him inside the top 40 in the OWGR.

Green Peter · 11-04-2022 12:25am

Well done Seamus, well worth your place in the field and a great preformance. Get back there next year and give it a real rattle.

abff · 11-04-2022 5:13am

Seamus has moved up one place to 40th in this week’s world rankings.

Lad GAGA · 11-04-2022 3:55pm

Didn't see any footage of Seamus but delighted he made the cut in the first instance and then to have an under par final round will give him a lot of confidence going forward. No double bogeys at Augusta for 4 days is some achievement even Scheffler didn't manage that. Hopefully he can keep this good form going into the coming months.

RoadRunner · 12-04-2022 9:35am

Great that Player and Caddie got 4 masters competition rounds under their belt. Valuable experience in that will stand to them, hopefully next year.

Panrich · 14-04-2022 12:34pm

Just had a quick look there at the fedex rankings and Seamus in 19th has accumulated more points now than for the full 2021 season. Given he finished 72nd last year just missing out on the BMW, it looks like he will be competing there this year and hopefully looking to keep his place in the top 30 although that would be a huge accomplishment

mitchelsontour · 05-05-2022 7:30pm

Seamus back in action today at the Wells Fargo, starts with a level par round.

mitchelsontour · 12-05-2022 6:57pm

After missing the cut last week Seamus has had a strong start to the Byron Nelson with a -6 to be currently tied 3rd.

Leader Munoz is at -12 after a 60 which included a bogey.

Motivator · 12-05-2022 7:15pm

Great first round from Seamus after the missed cut mentioned above. Take the once in a lifetime round from Munoz out of it and Power is in a great spot. Munoz won’t do that again and a couple of 67s or 66s and he’ll be hard caught but someone else will put a few low rounds together so hopefully it’s Seamus that does it. This tournament was the catalyst for him last year.

Mushy · 12-05-2022 7:17pm

Saw he was t3 at -6, thought excellent he'll be at most 2 off the lead so, great start.

Nah, 6 off...that bogey will annoy Munoz

Icemancometh · 13-05-2022 7:25pm

Scoring is electric so far, need another good day to keep up.

mitchelsontour · 13-05-2022 8:50pm

Crazy scoring - cut currently predicted to be -5

OEP · 13-05-2022 11:27pm

He's 1st SG putting and 140 SG off the tee - quite the contrast!

Icemancometh · 13-05-2022 11:51pm

4 under on the last 5!

I was looking at that after Round 2 and wondering why he wasn't higher. I saw his highlights after. They had videos of 3 birdie putts dropping and the shortest was 20 feet.

Lad GAGA · 15-05-2022 9:17am

Nice eagle to finish last night, he needed that to have a decent score, with the average score being 4 under. Hopefully he can post a low number tonight and edge towards a top ten finish.

PARlance · 16-05-2022 8:43am

T17 and up to 23rd in the FedEx rankings. Think there's only a handful of non-winners this year ahead of him. Very consistent good performances from him.

blue note · 16-05-2022 9:08am

And he dropped in the world rankings. It's some rise in standings for him to drop down the world rankings after finishing T17 in a full PGA event.

I don't know a huge amount about the rankings/points, only that it's averaged over X number of events but it's not that simple. Would it be that in order to rise further he needs a win or a few top 10s in bigger events with a stacked field (major or big event on pga tour)?

Saw Sam Horsfield take a big jump to 60 odd from outside the top 100 with his win this weekend. Surely must be looking at trying to jump to PGA tour in the near future.

blue note · 16-05-2022 10:44am

Think he's jumping to the Saudi league!

Edit: Just in case there's a misinterpretation, I'm talking about Sam Horsfield, mentioned in the previous post. Sorry, just dawned on me you could easily not realise and think I was talking about Seamus.

OEP · 16-05-2022 11:43am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119069498#Comment_119069498

In this case KH Lee, who won, has moved ahead of him. Another for Seamus is that his divisor is increasing with each event, thus lowering his average points. And then yes, he needs better finishes to rise further - top 10s probably

The Big Easy · 16-05-2022 12:17pm

OWGR not quite as important as the Fed Ex points for now I would say, bar staying in the top 50, main focus is being in the top 30 and qualifying for the tour championship and all the riches that come with it.

Icemancometh · 16-05-2022 12:21pm

Ranking gets him into the majors, but pretty much guaranteed to be in all of them this season now I think.

abff · 16-05-2022 12:31pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119070032#Comment_119070032

He’s definitely in both of this year’s remaining majors as the cut off point for qualifying from the OWGR is next week for both tournaments, with the top 60 getting into the US Open and the top 50 into the Open Championship.

Where did you hear that? It would be an interesting one for him. He's not your typical mid-30s PGA pro in the sense that he has only really cracked the big time money recently.

If he's looking at it from a potential point of view of having 5-7 more peak peak years, the massive money could be a real draw. I think he could be forgiven for having a different perspective on it to others who are long since financially secure.

The Big Easy · 16-05-2022 12:43pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119070089#Comment_119070089

From a strictly financial point of view, it would make good sense for him. He could really clean up if he was one of the few in-form peak players to sign-up.

It's not as if the PGA Tour would shed any tears if he was to lose his card again in the future like he has in the past.

It's going to get pretty murky though going forward with all the litigation regarding non-contracted status and pension rights and what-not.

blue note · 16-05-2022 1:14pm

I was talking about Sam Horsfield moving to the Saudi league by the way - responding to the previous post. In case anyone thought I was talking about Seamus.

I'm pretty sure I saw his name listed in an article of Brits playing in it, along with McDowall. Sure all will be revealed in the next couple of weeks anyway.

callaway92 · 16-05-2022 1:33pm

Haha it’s funny how different people are when it’s Seamus Power (not him as confirmed above) compared to a Lee Westwood who got the dogs abuse

blue note · 16-05-2022 1:41pm

If someone in powers position did decide to defect, it would be far more acceptable than the pre champions toir guys. He's probably not set up for life financially, especially with the costs associated with staying on tour. There's no guarantees with golf and while I don't think it'll happen, he could drop down the rankings outside of the top 250 again.

What I'd judge him for though is working his entire life to compete at the top level and then deciding to opt out for money. Whereas the likes of Westwood and poulter have already competed at that level for years. They don't have that challenge left. But in their case they're already set up for life. This is just so they can afford god knows what else.

callaway92 · 16-05-2022 2:54pm

No no no. You cannot be making excuses for people like Seamus Power saying it's acceptable for him trying to set himself up financially etc.

It's the principle of it that's key.

'Ah ya, what's going on is horrible, but Seamus is trying to make a living, so that trumps it;

'Ah ya, what's going on is horrible, and it's disgusting that Poulter/Westwood would support this when it's purely out of greed'

Can't have it both ways.

OEP · 16-05-2022 3:19pm

I would definitely judge Seamus if he jumped ship now, because currently he is in the big bucks on the PGA Tour and making millions. I would be less judgmental of players who have not already made a lot of money, and are currently low in the rankings and not making money - after all people need to earn a living.

I don't agree that it's purely on the principle of it being Saudi money, it's that people who are already incredibly wealthy are seeking to make more from Saudi money.

abff · 16-05-2022 4:30pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119070895#Comment_119070895

I don’t think you can completely ignore the amount of money that someone has already earned when deciding how much criticism they should get for jumping ship. Yes, there’s a principle involved, but you have to accept that professional golfers are professionals and it’s only the elite few that can afford to ignore the financial side of things.

Of course, there are a lot more golfers now who are set up financially for life than would have been the case 20 years ago, or even 10 or 5 years ago. Personally, I don’t like the proposed new league and I hope it fails miserably. But it’s not fair to tar everyone who decides to join it with the same brush.

Draw for the PGA Championship

10th tee start.

1:58 p.m. – Russell Knox, Seamus Power, Scott Stallings

boardise · 19-05-2022 8:43pm

Seamus needs to tidy up the putting pronto . 2 shorties missed in first holes. ..4 1/2 and 5 ft.

Even a level par first round would have him well in it.

Lad GAGA · 20-05-2022 10:09am

Solid enough start at one over. Same again should get him in to the weekend.

billy3sheets · 20-05-2022 8:51pm

-1 today. Safely through to the weekend on level par.

Neewollah · 20-05-2022 9:49pm

Great 2 days from Seamus. Fingers crossed for a push towards the top 10 over the weekend.

boardise · 21-05-2022 8:00pm

Two birds in a row -the second being a mighty birdie from a fairway bunker at the 656( !!) yards par 5 . Could be a gainful day for SP.

Mushy · 21-05-2022 8:09pm

Hanging that putt on the lip was so unlucky, thought he had it cos they showed him (had only tuned in few minutes beforehand). Hopefully picks up some more birdies now

hawkwing · 21-05-2022 9:55pm

Seamus was 11-1 earlier to be leading irish man, going nicely now

hawkwing · 21-05-2022 10:12pm

5 back now, you would wonder if he was out in the better weather on thurs/fri .....

PARlance · 21-05-2022 10:13pm

He really is out of his depth at these Major thingys...

We're a back 9 mini meltdown by Pereira away from a cracking Sunday.

Mac_Lad71 · 21-05-2022 10:17pm

Fantastic performance..a par on the last would be great as Rory continues his meltdown.

Mushy · 21-05-2022 10:21pm

Seriously impressive bounceback after those 2 bogies.

Lad GAGA · 21-05-2022 10:35pm

Brilliant round by Seamus, same again tomorrow and who knows....

Panrich · 21-05-2022 10:36pm

Where does he need to finish to guarantee Masters next year?

Motivator · 21-05-2022 10:41pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119095494#Comment_119095494

As it stands he’s qualified anyway due to his OWGR which will be improved after tomorrow anyway, but I think it’s top 8 will see him in.

He’s currently 42 in the world, should be safely inside the top 40 with a decent finish tomorrow. Could be top 20 if he wins it…

A magnificent round of golf from Seamus today. After a ropey couple of recent tournaments this is just an incredible showing from him so far. A long way to go but tomorrow could be very interesting if a couple more shots are dropped by those in front tonight.
