Strong Performance from Seamus!
Seamus Power is slowly but surely getting back to the form he was showing prior to his injury last year. At this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational he had solid rounds of 72, 74, 69 and 72 on the difficult Bay Hill course to finish on -1 in a share of 21st place. This leaves him in 75th position in the FedEx Cup standings. With his form improving and with four more signature events to play he has every chance of making the top 70 and getting into the end of season playoffs once again. We wish him all the best for the rest of the season.
