Power hits route 66 in Nevada

Seamus Power

West Waterford's Seamus Power soared 22 places to tied 13th in the eGolf Professional Tour's $250,000 Championship at Red Hawk in Nevada.

The current leader of the South Carolina based tour's money list fired seven birdies in a six under 66 on the Robert Trent Jones-designed Lakes course and now trails leader Richard Fountain by seven shots on nine under par. Scores

After opening his week with a course-record 61, Fountain eagled both back-nine par-5s en route to a six-under 66 to take a commanding three-shot lead over California's Ben Geyer on 16 under in the race for the $40,000 top prize.
