Whirlwind finish propels Power into top-10 in Mississippi

An eagle and birdie over the closing holes propelled Seamus Power into the top-10 of the Sanderson Farms Championship midway through Day 2 at the Country Club of Jackson in Mississippi.

Power carded a five-under par 67 on Friday to sit on 11-under par, four strokes adrift of current leader Beau Hossler and in a tie for eighth spot.

The Waterford golfer carded an opening round 66 but made an uneven start on Friday, with three birdies on his outward nine undermined by dropped strokes at the fourth and eighth, both the result of poor approaches.

However, Power shot back up the leaderboard over the closing stretch, playing the final six holes in -4, including a stunning eagle 2 at the 312 yard short par-4 16th.

FULL LEADERBOARD

Power, who recorded his only top-10 finish of the season at the FedEx St Jude Championship in August, is seeking a first win on the PGA Tour since his triumph at the Bermuda Championship in October 2022.

Hossler leads on 15-under par after recording an eagle and seven birdies en route to a 64. He heads the field by one stroke from 2021 Ryder Cup player Daniel Berger.

Former US Open champions Gary Woodland and Lucas Glover are in the group of players in a tie for fourth on -12.
