Austin Smotherman claimed his second consecutive PGA Tour title by defeating Seamus Power in a Monday morning play-off at the weather-affected Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Both players held a share of the 54-hole lead at 16 under as Sunday's final round was postponed by strong winds and ultimately cancelled due to poor weather.

The sudden-death play-off was played on the 178-yard 16th hole at Port Royal Golf Course, with both players making par on the first two extra holes. After the hole location was changed, Power's bogey on the third extra hole gave Smotherman the victory, who two-putted from 15 feet to seal his win.

Smotherman's triumph follows his Bank of Utah Championship title earlier this month, making him the eighth multiple winner on tour this season and first to win successive events since Matt Fitzpatrick. The 54-hole tournament marks the first such event on the PGA Tour since the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

The PGA Tour next heads to Mexico for the Vidanta World Mexico Championship at Vidanta Vallarta, with live coverage beginning Thursday from 6pm on Sky Sports Golf.
