Seamus Power left to reflect on week’s positives

West Waterford’s Seamus Power was hoping for the greatest day of his career but ended up having his worst for 13 months in the final round of the Sanderson Farms Championship in Mississippi.

Bidding to become just the sixth Irishman to win on the PGA Tour, the 29-year old rookie crashed to a five over par 77 — his worst round since he shot a 79 in October last year — and finished tied for 29th on seven under at the Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi.

Power finished 13 shots behind fellow Web.com Tour graduate, Texas left-hander Cody Gribble, who was one of three players forced to settle for second behind him when he won the Web.com Tour’s United Leasing & Finance Championship in May.
