Power off to a flyer in bid for Web.com Tour card

West Waterford’s Seamus Power got his bid for a Web.com Tour card off to a brilliant start when he fired a four under par 68 on the first day of the Q-School Finals in Florida.

The 27-year old was inside the top 10, just two strokes behind American Rick Cochran and South Africa’s Kyle Scott, who opened with 66s on the Fazio course at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens.

Power’s goal is to win the six-round test, which would leave him unaffected by the frequent re-ranking which will take place on the PGA Tour’s second tier circuit in 2015.
