Some regrets but Seamus Power signs for a good week at Souther Hills

A final-round 72 was good enough for a first career top-10 finish in his second major start for the West Waterford man

HAPPY BUT...: Seamus Power reacts to a missed putt in the final round of the PGA Championship

TULSA, Oklahoma – It wasn’t the start he wanted Sunday, but it might have been the finish Séamus Power needed in his first reasonable crack at major championship contention.

An early double bogey on the second and a missed 3-footer on the 10th largely spoiled Power’s chances to win the PGA Championship, but a final-round 72 was good enough for his first career top-10 finish in his second major start, as he tied for ninth with Abraham Ancer, Tom Hoge and Brendan Steele at 1-under-par 279 at Southern Hills. Rory McIlroy finished one shot ahead in eighth.
