11 Things You Didn't Know About Seamus Power
1. Seamus Power was born and raised in Waterford, Ireland. He was raised on his family’s farm and when he was 8, his mother passed away.
2. He was raised with his two brothers by his father, Ned. Three years after his mother passed away, Power took up playing golf, and to help pay the bills, Ned took a second job.
3. Seamus played golf for his high school team and when he graduated in 2006, he was trying to attend a college in the United States. Power had written letters to colleges in America and did not receive encouraging responses. So he was ready for Plan B, which was to take accounting courses at a university in Ireland. He got lucky with an offer from East Tennessee State coach Fred Warren, who saw Power play at the European Boy’s team Championship in Italy.
Warren liked what he saw in Power, but was going to sign Rory McIlroy who originally signed a letter of intent to play at East Tennessee State. But Rory decided instead to turn professional. So Warren offered Power a partial scholarship.

9. He speaks Gaeilge, or Irish Gaelic, the national and first official language of Ireland.
10. His favorite teams are Liverpool, Notre Dame and the New England Patriots. Tom Brady is one of his favorite athletes to watch.
11. His favorite band is U2.
