Seamus Power - PGA Tour Winner 2021/22

on current form neither hlm or Lowry are getting pick,

Good to hear that he went to Baltusrol yesterday to follow Leona around.

I think there are five certainties to either qualify automatically or get a pick - Rahm, McIlroy, Hovland, Fitzpatrick and Hatton. Fleetwood and Rose are also likely to get a pick if they don’t qualify automatically. That leaves 5 places up for grabs and I can’t see Lowry falling far enough down the pecking order to not get picked unless 3 or more outsiders force their way into automatic qualification.

Power, on the other hand, will require a dramatic improvement in form if he is going to be considered.

Seamus needs to get going fast. He's on the verge of falling out of the top 50, currently 49th.

Seamus is now down to 50th. This week represents an opportunity for him to turn things around. There’s only 9 players from the top 50 in the field, only one of whom is in the top 20.

A top 5 would move him up a few places and give him some momentum before the Open.

He was -6 through 8 but then the engine stalled. Finished -5 with a bogey on his last hole from the middle of the fairway.

Hopefully he can find another -5 today or at least -3/4. A top 10 this week makes top30 FedEx cup a realistic goal again.

Unfortunately not doing anything again today...really needs to pick it uo

finished with a 64 after going out in 29. T8 at the moment but realistically will end up somewhere between 20-25th

Good to hang in for top 15. There was a lot bunched behind him, thought more would pass with holes in hand

It may explain his relatively poor form of late.

It might just be muscular and a couple of good physio sessions sorts it out.

We really don't know. Seamus said he'll know more about it tomorrow and seemed to suggest he'll share it with the media.

He's talked in the past about being right handed and left footed and how it means he has to do things differently with his hip.

Earlier this morning, he was listed for practice rounds today at 8:40 and 11 a.m. but his name was subsequently pulled from the 11 a.m. slot. Which suggests that he did tee off at 8:40.

If he was not fit to play then you'd expect there would have been an official announcement to that effect by now and one of the waitlisted players (of which Tom McKibbbin is one) could get the nod.
