Power impresses in Alabama

Seamus Power continued his remarkable start to life in American collegiate golf with victory in the prestigious Jerry Pate National Intercollegiate tournament in Alabama this week.

The West Waterford golfer, who was the Atlantic Sun individual conference champion at the end of his rookie campaign with East Tennessee State University last May, picked up as a sophomore where he left off as a freshman by shooting a final round four-under-par 67 at the Old Overton Club in Birmingham on Tuesday and finishing tied for the individual championship with host Alabama’s Mark Harrell.
