SEAMOUS POWER IS just one place outside an automatic PGA Tour card for next season following a top-10 finish at the Canadian Open last night.
The Irish golfer shot a final round 66 to finish 16-under and secure the first top-10 finish of his PGA Tour career.
The result also leaves Power in 126th place in the FedEx Cup rankings with just three events to go; the top 125 gain a Tour card for the 2017/18 season.
Moving up just one spot over the next three events would not only secure Power’s playing rights for next season, but also a place in the lucrative end-of-season playoffs.
Power’s final round saw him charge up the leaderboard; opening with two birdies in his first three holes before a run of five birdies between 13 and 18 moved him into a tie for 10th with Sean O’Hair, James Hahn and Andres Gonzales.
The event was won by Jhonattan Vegas; the Venezuelan chipping to within a foot on the first playoff hole to claim the victory from Charley Hoffman.

Big opportunity this weekend in the barracuda as all the big guns are playing in the bridgestone. Best of luck to him.
He’s the only Irish golfer offering anything at the moment. Lowery is a disaster and Dunne has not kicked on. There are lots of Birdies in Power.
@Dead Ball Browne: well if memory serves me correctly Mcilroy finished T4 at the open, but then again, you just wanted this response….
Very inspiring young man, Seamus Power is. He has really grinded it out to get to where he is now. Best of luck to him in the pursuit of next season’s card.
