A nail-biting finish at the RSM Classic has left golf fans buzzing and it’s all about the Irishman Sheamus Power. The PGA Torque card chases on. Power with a determined swing just missed out on a full PGA Torque card for 2026. But here’s the twist. He’s still in the game with a conditional card thanks to his impressive tied seventh finish at the RSM Classic in Georgia. As the tournament unfolded, P’s journey was nothing short of dramatic. Starting from 129th place in the FedEx fall standings, he knew the top 100 would secure full PGA Tour status, while the top 125 would gain conditional status, a chance to play around 20 tournaments. Power’s climb was remarkable, moving up 12 places to a provisional 117th position. On the seaside course, Power’s final round strategy was clear. improve or go home. Starting the day tied for eighth, he birdied the first hole with a 10-ft putt on the par4. A confident start. Playing consistently, he added another birdie on the par 57th, but a dropped shot on the eighth kept him at bay. P’s round of 67 with birdies on the par 413th and par 317th left him at minus 18 for the tournament, five shots behind the eventual winner, Sammy Balamaki of Finland. While Power might feel a tinge of disappointment for missing the top 100, his climb from 145th place earlier in the month is nothing short of impressive. It’s a testament to his skill and determination. And this is the part most people miss, the impact of the win on Dalamaki. Not only did he secure a two-year exemption on tour, but he also rocketed up the FedEx Cup fault point standings, moving 23 spots to 51st. This means he’s qualified for the first two Big Money signature events of 2026. Talk about a dream come true. But here’s where it gets controversial. What about the other players? Max McGrevy, who posted a seven under 63, and Ricky Castillo, who fired a final round 62, both had impressive showings. Yet, they might just miss out on the top 100 with Castillo projected to finish 102nd. Will they be able to secure their spot in the next season’s tour?
