Seamus shooting for stars on PGA Tour

Irish professional golf might be enduring a mini-crisis, with four European Tour regulars losing their cards at the Q-School, but there’s some good news on the horizon with West Waterford’s Seamus Power blazing a trail to the PGA Tour.

The 27-year-old cut his teeth in Ireland, battling Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry for the top prizes and rubbing shoulders with them as an international team-mate at Boys, Youths and Senior level.

Now he looks set to take a major step towards winning a place on the megabucks US Tour following one of the hottest mini tour seasons on record.
