Rico Hoey leads at the Barracuda as Séamus Power misses 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.

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.

Shane Lowry returns for FedEx Cup Playoff opener as Rory McIlroy bizarrely skips $20m St Jude Classic
The action gets underway on Thursday with the field set after last night's final chance for players to break into the top 70 on the ladder OFFALY ace Shane Lowry will tee off this week in the first leg of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs at the $20 million St. Jude Championship. But pal Rory McIlroy sensationally wasn't on the entrant list for the Memphis event last Friday. Advertisement 2 Shane Lowry will return for the first time since The Open at the FedEx Cup Playoffs 2 But Rory McIlroy will NOT take part in the opening FedEx Cup Playoff event this week The five-time major winner faced some online fan backlash after news of his decision. The FedEx Playoff opener in Memphis is supposed to feature the top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings. Cam Young claimed his first tour win in the last qualifying event on Sunday evening before this week's playoffs. But the field for next week's FedEx St Jude Championship has been trimmed to 69 after Rory McIlroy dropped a bombshell by pulling out. Advertisement No reason was given for the Hollywood hotshot's omission from the prestigious event but it may be down to the new format. In previous seasons, the entire $100 million FedExCup bonus pool was distributed based solely on players' final positions at the Tour Championship. But that changed this year after the format at East Lake was reverted to a traditional 72-hole stroke-play event with no starting strokes. Scheffler is already guaranteed to hold the No. 1 spot after the BMW Championship in two weeks, earning him an additional $5 million bonus before even setting foot at the Tour Championship. Advertisement Now, the outright winner will pocket $10 million, regardless of FedExCup ranking. Down ace McIlroy is comfortably through to the last playoff event due to his second place standing on the ladder, while Lowry is 17th. Shocking moment drunk passenger, 29, steals airport golf cart and goes on bizarre rampaging joyride through terminal But it has clearly created more talking points after he also skipped three of the PGA Tour's eight Signature Events, including The Sentry, RBC Heritage, and the Memorial Tournament. That last one even raised eyebrows from Jack Nicklaus, who called McIlroy's no-show at his own event 'a surprise'. Advertisement As for Lowry, who is ranked in the top 20 on the FedEx standings, he will take his place at TPC Southwind knowing a strong week could catapult him up the leaderboard ahead of the BMW Championship and Tour Championship later this month. Only the top 50 qualify for the BMW - with another 20 cut from the Tour Championship finale. Earlier this year, the tour's brass ripped up the FedEx Cup format in major shake-up for 2025. PGA Tour Chiefs scrapped the much-maligned 'Starting Strokes' format in a huge shake-up to the FedEx Cup finale. Advertisement Announced earlier this year, the changes are aimed at making the season-ending showdown simpler for fans and tougher for the world's top golfers. The TOUR Championship will now be a straight 72-hole shootout — with all 30 players starting level on par at East Lake Golf Club.

Young captures long-awaited first PGA Tour win at Wyndham Championship
AMERICAN CAMERON YOUNG seized his first US PGA Tour title on Sunday, firing a two-under par 68 in the final round of the Wyndham Championship for a six-stroke victory over Mac Meissner. It was an emotional win for Young, whose seven career runner-up finishes included the 2022 British Open at St. Andrews. He started the day with a five-stroke lead and after an opening bogey reeled off five straight birdies – a run that included a 26-foot bomb at the third hole. A pair of bogeys at 16 and 17 were immaterial and Young tapped in for a par at the 18th to cap a two-under par 68 that gave him a 22-under total of 258. Advertisement 'I've been waiting for it for awhile,' Young said. 'I never thought I'd really be that emotional about it, but it's the end of my fourth season and I've had my chances. Never quite like this — and I wasn't going to let it get away from me today.' Ireland's Seamus Power finished well down the leaderboard, tied 44th on an overall score of four under par. The win at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, had a little extra resonance for Young, who played college golf at North Carolina's Wake Forest University. He was also hoping the win might catch the eye of US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley with the biennial match play showdown with Europe coming up in September. 'Obviously that team is a goal of many of us,' the world number 44 said. Fellow American Meissner had five birdies in his four-under 66 to take second on 16-under 264. Sweden's Alex Noren and American Mark Hubbard shared third on 265 while US amateur Jackson Koivun shared fifth place with American Chris Kirk and England's Aaron Rai. Sunday's round marked the end of the PGA regular-season with the top 70 on the points list advancing to the playoffs which start next week at the St. Jude Championship. Of the players hoping to play their way in this week, Kirk's finish was enough to move him up from 73rd in the standings to 61st. © AFP

Cameron Young eases to his first PGA Tour win in North Carolina
American Cameron Young romped to the first PGA Tour title of his career with a six-stroke victory in the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina. Ireland Seamus Power had an up and down round of 71 to finish the tournament on -4. It was Power's worst round of the tournament and featured five bogeys and four birdies and he ended up with a share of 44th place. Young, who finished runner-up at the Open in 2022, carded a two-under 68 in his final round to finish 22 under par, comfortably ahead of compatriot Mac Meissner. Resuming with a five-shot overnight lead on 20 under par for the tournament at Sedgefield Country Club, Young emphatically recovered from a bogey on hole one. The 28-year-old sunk five successive birdies and then made par on the next nine holes to remain in complete control. Despite two bogeys on the final three holes, Young became the 1,000th unique winner on the PGA Tour, as well as the 12th first-time champion this year. Runner-up Meissner finished on 16 under following a four-under 66 on day four. Fellow American Mark Hubbard and Sweden's Alex Noren came joint third on 15 under par. Aaron Rai, the defending champion, ended tied for fifth alongside Chris Kirk and amateur Jackson Koivun after finishing with a birdie in a two-under 68. Former US Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick, who carded 67 on Sunday, was among a trio of players tied for eighth place on 13 under. Colombia's Nico Echavarria, who began the day in second place, plummeted to joint 19th position following a five-over final round of 75.
