Power Playoff Loss, Furlong Citation

Seamus Power lost a PGA Tour title on a missed 20-foot putt in a rain-ruined Bermuda playoff. Austin Smotherman parred the third extra hole to claim his second win in as many starts. The Irish golfer still jumps from 103rd to a projected 53rd FedEx Cup spot, locking a 2027 Tour card. Meanwhile Leinster prop Tadhg Furlong was cited for an alleged groin grab in the URC match against Munster. Munster back-row Gavin Coombes raised the claim, but TMO Colin Stanley found no video evidence. Under Law 9.27 the offence could bring a suspension that would miss Ireland's Nations Championship games in Dublin and London. If punished like South Africa's Jan-Hendrik Wessels, Furlong could sit out nine matches, including Leinster's Champions Cup tie. Leinster coach Leo Cullen called it a serious matter, while Munster boss Clayton McMillan backed his players fully. Power summed up his week saying it was 'great overall, can't complain too much' despite the playoff heartbreak.
