West Waterford Golfers Shine on the Professional Circuit
Gary Hurley is currently taking on the intense challenge of the six-round DP World Tour Final Stage Q-School. The stakes are high: a top-20 finish would earn him a coveted 2025 DP World Tour card. However, before he can make it to the final two rounds, Gary must first survive a four-round cut for the top 65 and ties. As of this writing, Gary’s scores of 72, 67, and 73 place him just outside the cut line. We’ll have a full update on his progress next week.
On the PGA Tour, as previously noted, Séamus Power took a well-deserved break last week. This week, however, he’s back in action at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship—a tournament that holds special significance, as it’s the site of one of his two PGA Tour victories.
