Power and Griffin lead headed into final day of Butterfield Bermuda Championship

Seamus Power and Ben Griffin (-18, 195) are tied for the lead heading into the final round, both setting a new tournament record for low 54-hole scoring. The previous record was -17, 196, set by Harry Higgs in 2019 and matched by Taylor Pendrith last year.

 

With rounds of 65-65-65, Power posted eight birdies and a double bogey today as he looks for his second career PGA TOUR win. He was victorious at the 2021 Barbasol Championship. Griffin, with rounds of 65-64-66, posted four birdies and one bogey today as he pursues his first PGA Tour win.

 

Kevin Yu and Aaron Baddeley are tied for third place (-16, 197), two strokes back of the leaders.
