Seamus Power and Austin Smotherman Share Lead at Bermuda Championship
In Southampton, Bermuda, Seamus Power and Austin Smotherman are tied for the lead at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship after both players delivered impressive rounds on Saturday. Power shot a 4-under 67, overcoming a two-shot deficit, while Smotherman finished with a round of 66.
Smotherman managed to save par with a 10-foot putt, navigating the challenging winds that characterized the day. He achieved a 9-foot eagle putt on the par-5 seventh hole, bringing his score to 5 under for the round. Power's performance included a strategic approach to the windy conditions, allowing him to join Smotherman at a total of 16-under 197.
They lead by two shots over Taylor Moore and fellow Canadians Corey Conners and Ben Silverman, who each recorded rounds of 69. The forecast predicts more wind for Sunday, which Power believes could benefit him as it may hinder competitors from making birdies. The tournament has seen a two-way tie for the lead going into the final round for three consecutive years, with twelve players within four shots of the leaders.
