    Great back 9 from Seamus. Been well positioned a couple of times going into the final round in recent years but has fell away on most occasions. Fingered crossed tomorrow he holds his own and gets a top 5 at least. I think the win might be slightly beyond him the way field in lying but anything is possible.

    Really looked like the pressure was lifted a little bit on him today. I hop ehe can take that in to the last round.

    A smashing round again from Seamus, I’ve been reading/listening to his interviews over the last few weeks and the way he’s playing the last three days isn’t a surprise to him he’s been saying his game is very close to where he wants it to be. 1 dropped shot in 54 holes is fairly evident his game is exactly where he wants it to be. His confidence must be sky high going into tomorrow. He’s drained a number of huge putts not only for birdies but for important pars also. He got up and down from an apparently very difficult spot off the green on I think it was the second which was huge early on.

    He’ll need to shoot the lights out tomorrow, probably another 65 and that still mightn’t be enough. Whatever happens tomorrow, he’s got to be delighted so far. I think there’s $100k down as far as 19th place tomorrow and with 15 or 20 players breathing down his neck just a shot or two back from him, he’ll need to be aggressive tomorrow. A top 5 or top 10 would be huge for him but god a win would just be unbelievable.

    Round 4 is teeing off early due to a poor weather forecast, Seamus is out in the third last 3 ball, with Doc Redman and Scott Stallings at 2:39 Irish time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    Great start, birdie at the first

    Birdie, birdie start, doesn't look nervous, only 1 behind


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,526 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    Dropping bombs of putts early on, great start.

    Go on Seamus! Another great birdie there after a close shave on 6.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,558 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    Would he have to win to get into the PGA next week? At least its a great showing amyway


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,939 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    Looks like another kick in birdie at 8, he's been excellent so far!

    Thats correct regarding a win gets him into Kiawah Island next week. A win will be huge for Seamus and more importantly gives him job security for the next 2 years with that 2 yr exemption. Keep it lit Seamus!

    Ah sure even if it doesn't happen it'll be all positives for the weekend


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,898 ✭✭✭Trampas


    2nd on his own I’d even say he’d bit your hand off

    The lads in the sky studio have barely made any mention of him, which is somewhat bizarre.

    That's coz he's not a journeyman brit, sky coverage is best watched with the sound turned off

    Nobilo just said Seamus "can hit the ball 300 yards both right and left handed"

    Seriously impressive if true!

    His drive at the par 5 ninth went all of 245 yds ! ?
    His bunker play and scrambling though is top class.

    9 is straight into the wind I think

    Second on his own would get him his card for next year.

    Par is a good score on 9


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    This is actually great viewing or following shot tracker in my case. Living every moment with the lad.

    Follow him since he hammered us in a junior foursomes final when we were 15 or something. He was already seen as a huge talent then. His hands were ruined from practicing already

    Will move him into the Top 125 alright but wouldn't guarantee his card just yet.

    Ouch a double bogey for Seamus at the 13th. 4 back now and just inside the top 5.


  • Registered Users Posts: 656 ✭✭✭hurleronditch


    That’s a pity, only his second hole to drop a shot in 4 rounds.

    2 pars at the 2 par 5s just gone might feel like shots dropped. Fingers crossed he picks up a shot or two on the way in and secured a solid top 5


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,337 ✭✭✭Wombatman


    Fudge.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,781 ✭✭✭Motivator


    The wheels are coming off now. Too often this happens Seamus, he has a bad hole and unfortunately tends to follow up with more bad ones. Took him 4 to get down from 50 yards there on a 305 yard par 4. He’s bleeding money now, he still has time to get those 3 shots back but he’s got to steady himself quickly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,939 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    He looked so solid aswell, a real shame

    It’s a big shame. Could cost him is tour card and worse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,462 ✭✭✭PokeHerKing


    Serious pressure on him to be fair and he's shown throughout his career that his mind is the weakest part of his game. So not unexpected. Hopefully he can right the ship here and still get a top 5. Deserves at least that.

    Nobody deserves anything. You could say that for a lot of the players but that’s makes the difference between journeymen and next level up. Nothing next week probably doesn’t help as a lot of pros are streaky and they need to strike while the iron is hot

    Maybe it's the feed of takeout pints in me but everyone deserves a little understanding at least. I reckon Seamus would settle for journeyman status currently, he's lower than that at the minute. Some rain out there now, not the weather you want trying to recover from 3 quick dropped shots.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭Scrabbel


    Birdie at the last would be a nice way to finish, get him into the Top 10 in prizemoney terms


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,861 ✭✭✭Mysterypunter


    The conditions are very poor, but they are trying to finish the tournament because the rain is not going away. Bit of a disappointing end for Seamus, but he had a good week overall


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,205 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Dissapointing few holes but that weather was brutal.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,170 ✭✭✭scout353


    He has an 11 foot birdie on 18 when they get back out there. Hole that and top ten guaranteed! Just nine players left on the course! Spieth is 80 yards from hole on -18 after 2 and a birdie for him could knock Seamus out of top ten. Nobody else can influence the top ten right now. Unless, of course, Schwartzel or Burns drop shots.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,939 ✭✭✭Deeper Blue


    It'd be fairly devastating to finish outside the top 10 considering the position he was in after 12 holes. Hope he knocks it in on 18

    It’ll still be in the range of $200-250k, so plenty of positives.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,628 ✭✭✭themandan6611


    some of amount of negative nellies about, fair play to him over the last 4 days. A very positive performance, nice payday and finished ahead of a lot of big names.

    Top 10 finish is grand, but he faded a bit, so there are 2 ways of looking at it, it is a good result but heading to the back 9, he was 2nd, with only the eventual winner ahead of him. T2 after 63 holes and T9 at the end, with a +3 back 9. Still good stuff overall

    Was $212,000 in the end


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,562 ✭✭✭✭coylemj


    Up to 169 (from 195) in the FedEx Cup rankings.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,080 ✭✭✭bigtimecharlie


    Small bit disappointed, had a T5 in is hands.

    If he birdied 12, might have been different.

    Onwards and upwards.

    Not the first time he has bottled it when in contention.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,433 ✭✭✭dublin49


    on 13th missed 6 footer for bogey and on 14th 3 putted from 21 feet ,that was poor and costly.

    It was 6’7” and even the best putters are only 70% at that distance so they will be missed. Hitting the putt 7 foot past on the 14th was a bad mistake but he was chasing then after the double.

    I didn’t see his drive on 13 but he must have got a horror lie in the bunker. Could only chop it out a few yards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,170 ✭✭✭scout353


    Overall, it was a very solid performance and it was a shame that the double on 13 was compounded with that silly bogey on 14.

    However he hit 83% of greens in regulation yesterday and was over 70% for the week.

    His strokes gained putting were positive for the week so there are plenty of signs of progression.

    With the elbow injury behind him, he could make a run through the Fed Ex rankings and secure his card!

    Fingers crossed.


  • Registered Users Posts: 656 ✭✭✭hurleronditch


    I also believe that Top 10 for a non-status golfer automatically gets you in to the next regular tour event, so this will see him in the Charles Schwab next week if he wasn’t in already.

    He’s also chasing the metric of 15 starts across 5 different seasons on the PGA tour, which provides you with a PGA pension and other legacy benefits.

    I think he has 4 already in the bag, so every start is vital this year if he is to make it.
