the Irish Seamus Power remained in the lead despite making four bogeys in his last six holes and won the Bermuda Butterfield Championship this Sunday in Southampton, Bermuda. Power’s final round, an under-par 70 at Port Royal Golf Course, was enough to secure his second career PGA Tour title. He beat Belgian Thomas Detry (67 on Sunday) by one stroke.
power he started the day tied for the lead with Ben Griffin. Three birdies in his first seven helped him to 21-under for the tournament, while Griffin birdied four of his first six to take a brief outright lead at 22-under.
griffin he shot 5 under par for 11 holes and 23 under overall before a disastrous run. He had four straight bogeys on numbers 12-15 with a double bogey on the par 3 16. That opened the door for powerwho bogeyed the 13th but recovered with a birdie on the par-4 14th to move to 21-under and take an outright lead for the first time all day.
power he bogeyed the next two holes, but got up and down from the edge of the green to birdie the par-five 17th and take a two-shot lead. That means his bogey on the final hole was enough to lift the trophy. Forty-eight in the world, power he is the only player in the top 50 in the field in Bermuda.
detri, a PGA Tour rookie with DP World Tour experience, finished his birdie-birdie round to close the gap between himself and Power, but not enough. while, griffin finished with a +1, tied for third place at Patrick Rodgers (65) and Taiwanese it’s kevin (70) with 17 under par.
griffin saw a potential PGA Tour career slip away in 2021 due to financial difficulties to pursue that dream. He returned in 2022 and got his card for the 2022-23 season. Despite his last nine holes, his T3 in Bermuda was his best result to date.
