Butterfield Bermuda Championship Reduced To 54 Holes As Monday Playoff Confirmed

The Butterfield Bermuda Championship has been officially shortened to 54 holes because of persistent severe weather at Port Royal Golf Course. After Sunday's play was canceled due to wind gusts exceeding 40 mph, the PGA Tour announced that unfavorable forecasts prompted the decision to make 54-hole scores final, setting up a Monday playoff between co-leaders Seamus Power and Austin Smotherman.

Power and Smotherman finished 54 holes tied for the lead at 16-under. The sudden-death playoff is tentatively scheduled for 9 a.m. local time on Monday to determine the tournament champion. The cancellation ended title hopes for chasers including Taylor Moore, Corey Conners, and Ben Silverman, who finished two shots back.
