Seamus Power has played some solid golf recently and we see him more and more often on the first page of the leaderboard. The last time he missed a cut was at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open presented by MISTRAS in March and since then he climbed the world ranking with more than 200 sports. Power is T8-T19-T19-T9 in his last four starts.
Hank Lebioda is not among the most popular on the PGA Tour, but the American starts getting attention after two solid weeks on the circuit. Lebiaoda posted two consecutives top 5s and the question is if he can get it done and win that first PGA Tour title. The key to his recent success is hidden in his short game. The work and time he has invested in it is visible and it is not a surprise that he is third in scrambling this season.
