Séamus Power is safely through to the weekend at the PGA Tour’s Procore Championship at Silverado Resort in California after a three-under 69 which moved him into a tie for 24th.
The Waterford man started the day at one-under after an uncharacteristically poor day with his irons on Thursday which required fine short game play to bail him out most of the time, and even though he continued to lose strokes to the field on approach play on day two, it was a marked improvement.
Power birdied three of the four par-5s at Silverado, taking care of the fifth, 15th and 18th holes in a bogey-free round that gives him the opportunity to make strides up the leaderboard if he can get his iron play dialled in.
Coming into the week ranked 130th in the FedEx Cup and with only the top 100 players retaining full status for 2026 at the conclusion of the FedEx Fall series, these are crucial weeks for the two-time PGA Tour winner and though he’s 10 shots off the lead, he’s only five off fourth place.
After a first-round 64, Ben Griffin walked off with the lowest score of the 10 of the U.S. Ryder Cup team members in the 156-man field.
