Séamus Power insists he never contemplated giving up the game even when he failed to finish inside the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings in three of his first four seasons on the PGA TOUR.

The 35-year-old Toornaneena man jumped 16 places to a career-high 32nd in the Official World Ranking when he closed with a one-under 70 to win his second title, the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, by a shot from Belgium’s Thomas Detry on 19-under par. Power was ranked 429th in the world at the start of 2021.
