RELATED: Full FedExCup standings The Irishman opened the final round at Port Royal Golf Club in Southampton with a share of the lead with 26-year-old rookie Ben Griffin, who was making just his eighth career PGA TOUR start. After birdies at 10 and 11, Griffin then scored 6-over on the next five holes before concluding with a pair of pars and settling for a three-way T3 and two strokes back of the champion. This is Power’s second career PGA TOUR title (2021 Barbasol Championship). Upon arrival in Bermuda, he was tied for third-shortest odds to win at BetMGM (+2200) with Mark Hubbard, who missed the cut. The more heavily favored Denny McCarthy (+1600) and Thomas Detry (+2000) finished a respective T6 and second in the tournament. Detry’s consolations include $708,500.00 and 300 FedExCup points. For their splits of third place, Griffin, Patrick Rodgers (+2800 to win) and Kevin Yu (+9000) each earned $344,500.00 and 145 FedExCup points.
