Seamus Power battles his way into major Sunday contention at PGA

'I think some of it is just my age, being a little older starting in the majors - it just gives you a better perspective"

GETTING CLOSE: Seamus Power chips onto the 16th green in the third round of the PGA Championship

TULSA, Oklahoma – Séamus Power wanted to see how his game measured up in the crucible of a major championship Sunday hunt. He’ll get his chance in the PGA Championship at Southern Hills.

Making only his second major start, Power has consistently improved every day in the most taxing weather conditions Oklahoma has to offer, shooting 71-69-67 to steadily rise up the leaderboard into contention. Four birdies in his last seven holes Saturday pushed him within striking distance of winning the Wanamaker Trophy.
