Seamus Power - PGA Tour Winner 2021/22

roverjoyce

Needs to concentrate on getting a top 10 so he is guaranteed a start next week and try and continue this good form

Will top ten ensure he keeps card?

Not by a long shot.
Would need 1st or 2nd at a push.

However it gets him another start next week and a chunk of $$$$$$

Horrendous stuff. Same old story unfortunately.

For all the flack a certain other player’s caddy gets, Power’s caddy has to have a word here and get him to slow it down.

Very good from tee to green but desperately bad on the greens.
Seems to lack the concentration levels needed to be a successful golfer.
Some of those 3/5 foot putts didn’t even go close to touching the hole.

Euphoriasean

A strong finish now after that birdie could see him jump right up the leaderboard. He needs one more bird anyways.

bobbysands81

Finished tied for 12th. Left a few shots behind him.

Well done Séamus.

Very good week, but will be disappointed at missing a few short ones today. His tee to green play looks great

kmart6

c.$131K isn't a bad return, 5% of his total career earnings. Shame he couldn't take advantage of the opportunity he had this week though.

billy3sheets

Yeah he could have let it fall away completely too but he didn't. Made par from the bunker on 18th. Better finish than probably he or anyone expected.

hurikane

He played some great stuff, those short putts though. I’d say he’s cursing himself.

Hopefully he can build on this week.

bigtimecharlie

All in all it had to be seen as a missed opportunity.

Avoided the Saturday meltdown and still inside the top 10 making the turn on Sunday.

Not good enough on the greens.

A serious case of what could have been for Seamus. Maybe not to win it but he got off to some start and got to within two of the lead at one stage early on and was set up for a big payday.

His weakness is mental, he has every shot in the book - he wouldn’t be on tour if he didn’t. The margins on the PGA Tour are ridiculously small. He’s too prone of silly mistakes, the three putt from 10 feet is a prime example. Still, he battled well in a strong enough field and got himself a few quid.

Anyone know what money he needs to earn to get/keep his card? He’s on what’s more or less a Tier 2 card so he only has a certain number of starts in order to earn the money/points needed to get his card. He kept his card two years in a row with earnings of $750,000 & $800k+. His earnings so far are a quarter of that so he has a bit to go but as we all know, one week could change everything. Good luck to him, he deserves a break.

Not playing this weekend........

Would the birdie putt on 18th would have got him in as he'd have finished T8?

Think it would have, top 10 qualifies you as far as I know, he is playing this week, in the San Antonio challenge on the Korn Ferry tour, teeing off at 1:50 on Thursday, and 7pm on Friday. Might go well, hopefully

Southern Comfort

+1 today.

Tied 115th....

top 125 on fedex standings at end of year which is usually about $800k.

Looks like he's going to be 1 shot shy of the cut on Korn ferry Tour.

Bogie on his 17th has pushed him out.

Missed it by 2

Decent first round in the 3M Open. 3 under and inside the top 30.

He’s doing well. Looks like he has made good use of the break. Hopefully no silly mistakes and makes some money this weekend. It’d be great to see him do well, regain his status and hold on to it for years to come.

First Up

Two over after 9 and dangerously close to the cut line. All too familiar a story.

And now the nail in the coffin with an 8!! Just after a lovely birdie too

A 3-putt from 3 feet in that 8 as well. That’s just atrocious.

bigtimecharlie

Well gone now after a 78 to be +4 and well outside the cut.

Not many opportunities left.

hurikane

He was poor in the second round. He was out in the afternoon and the wind got up which didn’t help. He spoke to Rich Beem and said where he’d be playing next. I missed it as was on a call.

He's playing in the Barracuda this week. It's run in parallel with the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational so relatively easy for someone like him to get a slot. But it's at the bottom of the ladder in terms of prize money - along with the Barbasol (cancelled in 2020) it's the lowest value tournament on the PGA Tour played in the mainland US at just $630,000.

He came T25 in the Barracuda in 2019 but made the field for the FexEx St. Jude in 2018 and came T12.

Was fancied by a few going into this. Leader in birdies gained in this field which suits the format in question (whatever convoluted way they are doing it 😂)

I saw the notification for his score, just saw + whatever, and thought what a disaster. This at least explains it!

bigtimecharlie

Going great in round 3, t2 after 11 holes.

joebloggs32

Currently leading the tournament.
By my reckoning its the first time he has been in this position

abff

Disappointing last 6 holes. Hopefully he'll be able to keep things going this evening.

It’s not, Seamus led a couple tournaments In the 2016/17 season going into the final day and never even threatened. He always fell away on the final day.

ConcertKing

Birdied the last to squeeze into the Top 10 after 5 birdies and 3 bogeys today to shoot +7 today and +32 for the tournament!

Finished T-9 earning $95,375

US Tour Earnings this season $304,379 so he should jump from 181 on the list to round 155 on the money list.

Gets him into the Wyndham Championship and will probably be he qualifies for before the Fed Ex wraps up.

billy3sheets

He's 160 on the money list now

ConcertKing

3 under today after 16 holes of his final round and 9 under for the tournament which is T-33 at the moment in the Wyndham Championship.

Has missed some really bad short putts on the back nine.

billy3sheets

Finished - 10 with 4 sub par rounds, the best on - 4 on Sunday. Currently tied 25th.

Trampas

He’s very prone to some very bad 3 putts

ConcertKing

Finished T-27 on -10 earning $46,690

US Tour Earnings this season $351,069 and is upto 155 on The Money List Now.

Motivator

54 players on tour made over $2m last season, to put that into context. Seamus has earned $2.9m in his career. That’s what he’s up against each week. He had a good week and had four sub 70 rounds and finished double digits below par and he still finished 11 shots behind the leader. You’d have to think he’d need to hit 270, or whatever it would need to be, of the best shots in his life in row in order to get a PGA tour win. The level of competition is just frightening to and there’s 50 players who can win on any given week.

paulos53

Seamus is 1st alternate for this weeks event at Torrey Pines.
Could be a long day for him hanging around the clubhouse

While thats true, the opposite is also true, if you were prone to mistakes you would be working well to keep your job!
