Rico Hoey leads at the Barracuda as Séamus Power misses the cut
Rico Hoey holds a slender one-point lead going into the weekend at the Barracuda Championship following a consecutive 13-point round, but Ireland's Séamus Power failed to make the cut. The event uses the Modified Stableford scoring system, with players receiving two points for a birdie, five for an eagle and eight for an albatross, and deducted one point for a bogey and three for a double. Manilla-born Hoey stands at 26 points overall after a second round that contained a six birdies and a bogey. Barracuda Championship 2025 Golf Leaderboard - PGA TOUR American Max McGreevy and Erik van Rooyen share second, a point further back. The cut mark was +11 and Seamus Power was a point the wrong side. A double-bogey six on his first hole proved costly, as did bogeys on 10 and 18. He did, however, post four birdies on the back nine but agonisingly just missed out at this PGA-DP World Tour co-sanctioned event.

Xander Schauffele trying to ‘piece way back' ahead of Open defence
A year ago the 31-year-old added the Claret Jug to his US PGA title in a stellar season which also brought 13 other top-10 finishes. However, a rib injury in December restricted him to just one appearance in the first three months of this year and any hope he had of continuing his momentum was lost. 'Going from on top of the moon to, you know, knocked off completely, it's a humbling thing for sure,' Schauffele told the PA news agency at an event for sponsors Callaway in Portrush's famous Harbour Bar. 'Winning my first major, getting the monkey off my back, came at a perfect time – if you want to, call it a perfect storm. 'Feeling completely free and playing unbelievable golf, it's a pretty dangerous thing so I felt like I was riding that wave. 'So I'm just trying to piece my way back, gain a little bit of confidence each and every week with each and every shot to be honest.' His confidence received a boost with only his second top-10 finish in 12 events at last week's Scottish Open. Performing well on a links course was ideal preparation for the defence of the Claret Jug he won at Troon, but the American does not really view it in that manner. 'It's a strange thing to defend when the venue changes. When I handed over the Claret Jug on Monday morning it felt like a defence, but when I'm on the property I'm not remembering the shots I hit when I won,' added Schauffele. 'I'm trying to relearn the course, learn how far the ball's going, what the winds are doing, what bunkers you can and can't hit it in. So it's a weird thing.' A new name has been added to the Claret Jug 🏆 What a moment for @XSchauffele! — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) July 21, 2024 What does not change, however, is the fact he has two majors under his belt to give him valuable experience. He said: 'I don't think it hurts. I think it's one of those things where, if I can get myself in a position, I've done it twice now. There'll be a pack of guys who have done it more than that and then there'll be a pack of guys who've never done it. 'So it'll give me a slight advantage in that moment, but we're far away from that and I'm trying to focus on some small things to start. 'My advantage will be if I can put myself in a good position come the weekend.' Schauffele admitted he liked to focus on the future and not dwell on previous victories. As a result he does not have a trophy room at home and does not even know where his gold medal from the 2020 Olympics is. A post shared by Xander Schauffele (@xanderschauffele) 'What am I going to do with it? I don't really invite people over to my house. Am I just going to go look at it myself? That's the way I feel about it,' he told a press conference. 'At some point I'm sure I'll look back on my career, but I don't have any trophies at my house. I don't really think about winning. 'I don't want to walk into a trophy room and be like 'Look how great I am'.'
