Séamus Power will don a little blue and white today as Waterford face Cork in the National League hurling final, but he’ll have green on his mind tomorrow as he wends his way down Magnolia Lane and prepares to make his debut in the Masters.

Twelve months ago, Power was ranked 461st in the world. Now he’s 41st, one of the best players on the planet and dreaming of becoming the first Irishman to pull on that green jacket.
