SEAMUS POWER WILL pick up a six-figure cheque after finishing in a tie for 12th at the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
The Waterford native was within two shots of the lead following two early birdies in Sunday’s final round, but four bogeys proved costly as he finished his day with a level par 72.
Power — who does not currently hold a PGA Tour card and will be aiming to finish in the top 125 on this season’s money list — finished on -14 for the tournament, nine shots behind winner Bryson DeChambeau.
DeChambeau, who had a remarkable average driving distance of over 350 yards for the week, rolled in eight birdies and just one bogey in a sensational final round of 65.
His 23-under total was enough to see him finish three shots clear of second-placed Matthew Wolff, with Kevin Kisner third on 18-under par.

Putting let Seamus down today but a cheque circa $130k is fantastic for him.
Onwards and upwards!!
@John McCabe: Missed two 18” putts at crucial times that really knocked the stuffing out him but a good week overall. He has added serious range, did not look out a of place with Wolff and Bryson bombing it 330/340 yards down the fairway
@Mike Faherty: Totally agree Mike.
3 putting from 14ft on the 8th was a shocker.
Hopefully he can address these issues and move forward.
He’d have bitten your hand off for 12th on Thursday, but he’ll be gutted to finish outside the Top 10. Need to take every opportunity at this level – might get a couple of invitations off the back of this hopefully.
