Seamus Power has cracked the world top 100 for the first time.

The West Waterford golfer's 21st-place finish at the Shriners Children's Open on Sunday has resulted in a seven-place jump in ranking, leapfrogging the likes of 2019 US Open champion Gary Woodland and Scottish Open winner Aaron Rai to claim the world no.100 berth.
