‘I poured myself a glass of whiskey just to calm the nerves’ -  Seamus Power on earning the last available PGA Tour card

As the PGA’s top guns duke it out this weekend for the FedEx Cup riches in Atlanta, West Waterford’s Seamus Power is already gearing up for 2019, determined a close call with losing his tour card — ranked No 125, he got the last one available by right — won’t happen again.

They came to celebrate Seamus Power’s achievements a couple of weeks back at West Waterford Golf Club.

A PGA Tour card in the back pocket for another year is no small feat and the 31-year-old who learned the game in this quiet corner of the country will always be grateful to the people at West Waterford who helped nurture his talents for golf and now live every shot he plays on the other side of the Atlantic.
