Seamus Power showed the planet his meteoric rise to 50th in the world was no flash in the pan when he put on an incredible display of ball-striking and putting and fired a second successive 64 to lead the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am by five shots in the clubhouse at halfway.

After beating the field average by eight shots with a stunning, eight-under 64 at Spyglass Hill in round one, the 34-year-old West Waterford man made 10 birdies at iconic Pebble Beach, including eight in a magical 11-hole stretch from the sixth top set a new 36-hole scoring record on 128.
