Now a freelance writer for Golf Monthly and the PGA, he covers all aspects of the game, from Tour news to equipment testing and buyers’ guides. It's an amazing achievement for Power, who, only 18 months ago, was ranked outside the world's top-500. Now, he sits inside the world's top-50, has a PGA Tour title under his belt and a future Masters appearance to look forward to.

Scheffler's 5 and 4 victory over Fitzpatrick left the pair tied on two points at the top of Group 5. "Things don't quite seem as hard on the golf course. Being two down with two to go and knowing all I needed was a half to move on to the round of 16, that's a real confidence boost to birdie the last two to get through." "I'm going to guess he probably shot four, five under maybe, didn't make a bogey at all. "Me and Lee joked that whoever just finishes probably wins. I hit some really quality shots.

“I think my past experiences here, having won in ’19 and having had a chance to win last year, hopefully will stand me in good stead,” McDowell said. The former US Open champion (42) is ranked 359th in the world and with his PGA Tour exemption running out at the end of the season, he’s seeking his second win in Puntacana since 2019 and a new lease of life. It was a better day for Graeme McDowell in the Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic, where he birdied four of his last five holes and carded a four-under 68 to share third place in the clubhouse on eight-under, just four shots behind Ben Martin. Shane Lowry needed to beat Brooks Koepka to force a three-way play-off in his group, but while he came back from three down after seven holes to square the match at the 12th, Koepka produced a remarkable pitch and putt birdie at the last to win one up. Now it’s full knockout. The top 50 in the world on Monday are guaranteed Masters invitations, and 48th-ranked Power is set to remain in the top 50 and make his debut alongside Pádraig Harrington, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry on April 7.

His qualification for Augusta caps a meteoric rise for a player who was ranked 429th in the world at the end of 2020 but has enjoyed a brilliant run, winning the Barbasol Championship on the PGA Tour last summer.

"It's just the best tournament to watch on TV and I can only assume it's a million times better to play in it. "But if I could play the tournament, it would be a dream come true. So I've played the course twice. Thomas Pieters was two up with two holes to play against Horschel and seemingly on course to secure the win which would set up a play-off between the pair to decide the winner of group 12. "Things don't quite seem as hard on the golf course. "I've known Lee a long time, he's a legend of the sport and to be able to go head-to-head with him and get one over on him was pretty special."
