Power's latest title tilt set for possible Monday finish
Séamus Power and Austin Smotherman are set to compete in a sudden-death play-off at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship after inclement weather forced the tournament to be shortened to 54 holes. The play-off is scheduled for Monday morning at Port Royal Golf Course.
Why it matters
The outcome is critical for Séamus Power, who is currently fighting to secure full playing rights for the upcoming PGA Tour season.
Séamus Power is headed for a play-off against Austin Smotherman in the Butterfield Bermuda Championship on Monday after play was scrapped Sunday due to inclement weather and the PGA Tour shortened regulation to 54 holes.
Golfers waited for word from the tour after it was decided early on Sunday that the entire fourth round would be postponed due to heavy rain and high winds. The next update came at 5.17pm local time (8.17pm Irish time) at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton.
"Due to the unfavorable weather forecast for Monday at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship and the uncertainty surrounding the completion of the entire final round on Monday, the tournament results will be considered final through 54 holes in accordance with PGA Tour regulations," the tour said in a statement .
