Irish trio make solid start at the Wyndham Championship

Seamus Power, Shane Lowry, and Pádraig Harrington all made solid starts at the Wyndham Championship yesterday in their quest to secure their PGA Tour cards for next season.

Both Lowry and Power shot three-under-par rounds of 67 in Greensboro to lie in a tie for 27th, but fully six shots behind earlier leader Matt Every, who shot 61.

Power entered the week in 123rd place, just inside the cut line for retaining his card. And the West Waterford golfer got off to a flying start, birding his first three holes. Dropped shots on the 9th and 10th knocked him back but he recovered to birdie the 15th and 18.
