Seamus Power is facing the rest of the year on the sidelines after a recurrence of the hip injury that hampered him at The Open forced him to withdraw from this week’s Horizon Irish Open at The K Club.

The touring professional for The K Club, Power was forced to withdraw from the Genesis Scottish Open with a hip injury in July and while he teed it up at Royal Liverpool the following week, he missed the cut and went on to perform poorly in two subsequent FedExCup playoff events, missing out on qualification for the Tour Championship.
