West Waterford’s Seamus Power had the consolation of his biggest payday this season as a maiden PGA Tour victory slipped through his fingers and he tied for ninth in the weather-delayed AT&T Byron Nelson in Texas.

The Tooraneena man (34) was left to wonder what might have been as his hopes of a maiden PGA Tour win dissolved in the rain on the back nine at TPC Craig Ranch where South Korea’s KH Lee shot a six-under 66 to win by three strokes from overnight leader Sam Burns (70) on 25-under par.
