CROMWELL, Conn. — Once Seamus Power finished his second round on 18 on Friday he hustled up the hill toward the clubhouse sporting a toothy grin, pleased with his 5-under-par 65 second round that helped him make the Travelers Championship cut.
Power looked down for a few seconds and then glanced quickly to his left — half of his focus on getting up the hill, half on the fans.
There was one fan who stood out. Tim O’Brien, a Glastonbury resident, wore a bright green shirt that featured Power’s face on its front, and the outline of the Irish map overlayed with the orange, white and green colors of the flag on its back – “Team Seamus,” it read.
