Seamus Power and Austin Smotherman will face off in a Monday play-off after the final round of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship was cancelled due to bad weather. The PGA Tour confirmed on Sunday that Power and Smotherman led at 16 under, two shots clear of a chasing pack featuring Taylor Moore, Corey Conners and Ben Silverman. With forecasts predicting rain and heavy winds, officials ended the tournament prematurely.
It marks the first time in two years a PGA Tour event concluded after 54 holes following the weather-affected 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Power seeks his third PGA Tour title, having won his first via a play-off at the 2021 ISCO Championship. Smotherman aims for his second title after winning the Bank of Utah Championship.
After opening with 65 and 66, Smotherman surged up the leaderboard with another five-under 66 on Saturday, including an eagle. Power carded a 64 in the second round to move into contention. The play-off is tentatively scheduled for 12pm GMT, weather permitting, with a 60 per cent chance of rain and winds of 15-20mph forecast.
