Last year, Seamus Power took home his first PGA Tour win, besting J.T. Poston in a six-hole playoff after shooting matching 67s over the weekend. The win marked Power as the fifth Irishman to win a PGA Tour event after Pay Doyle, Peter O’Hara, Padriag Harrington and Shane Lowry. Power did not return to defend his title though 2019 champion Jim Herman is in today’s field.
Chesson Hadley is among the favorites coming into today, having posted a pair of top-ten finishes in the last two weeks. Hadley shot a final round 64 to finish fifth at the Travelers Championship and last week fired four games in the 60s ending up tied for tenth.
Kevin Streelman comes into today off a T41 at last week’s John Deere Classic after shooting a final round 66, including an ace on the par-three 12th hole. Streelman is looking for his first win since taking home the Travelers Championship in 2014.
