Seamus Power faces an anxious finale to see if he makes what would be a crucial cut as darkness brought an early end to the second round of the Bank of Utah Championship on Friday night.<\/p>\n
The Waterford native needs a big finish to the season to secure his PGA Tour card for 2026, and is hovering just inside the cut-line with three holes of his round left to play.<\/p>\n
Michael Brennan, in his first PGA Tour start as a professional, held a one-shot lead when play was called in.<\/p>\n
Brennan shot a six-under par 65 in the second round, boosting him to 10-under, one ahead of fellow Americans Jackson Suber, Justin Lower and Pierceson Coody.<\/p>\n
Power finds himself nine shots off the lead on one-under par with the majority of his second round complete.<\/p>\n
Starting on the 10th, Power was two-over par for his round after seven holes before claiming his first birdie at the par-five 18th.<\/p>\n
Another dropped shot would follow at the second before birdies at the third and sixth left him sitting on the right side of the projected cut-line with more than 50 golfers set to conclude their second rounds at Black Desert Resort on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Brennan, 23, played this season on the PGA Tour Americas, which feeds into the Korn Ferry Tour. However, he is playing the PGA Tour this week on a sponsor’s exemption, and he is making the most of it. His Friday round included five birdies, an eagle at the par-5 ninth hole and just one bogey.<\/p>\n
