WATERFORD’S SEAMUS POWER is celebrating a second PGA Tour title win after victory at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Power finished on 19-under, one shot clear of the Belgian Thomas Detry. A final round of one-under 70 saw Power over the line and sees him claim the $1,170,000 first prize.

The 35-year-old won his maiden PGA Tour event in July 2021 at the Barbasol Championship in Kentucky.
Power, the highest-ranked player in the field at 48th in the world, began the day in a share of the lead on 18-under alongside American Ben Griffin, after the third round saw him record a third successive 65.
Power began his final round positively with birdies on the first, the fifth and the par-five seventh. Griffin picked up shots in four of his first six holes, and while he bogeyed the 8th, he emerged strongly for the back nine with birdies on 10 and 11 to go two shots clear of Power.
But the American’s fortunes nosedived with four bogeys in a row between the 12th and 15th, while a double bogey followed on the par-three 16th. He finished in third place on 17-under alongside American Patrick Rodgers and Taiwan’s Kevin Yu.
Power endured mixed form himself at the close of his round. He bogeyed the par-three 13th but a birdie at the next put him in front on his own for the first time in the final round.
Yet he couldn’t build on that as bogeys ensured at the 15th and 16th holes. A birdie at the par-five 17th left him two shots clear heading down the last, a pitch to the green and two-putt for bogey was enough to complete his success.
