  "account": "MIAMI - Seamus Power and Austin Smotherman will face off for the Bermuda Championship title on Monday, following the cancellation of the final round on Sunday due to inclement weather.\n\nThe tournament had attempted to start the final round early on Sunday, but was eventually called off due to winds gusting up to 40 miles per hour and worsening conditions. The PGA Tour later announced that they would not attempt to play a full round on Monday due to a poor forecast.\n\nWith the unfavorable weather outlook for Monday and the uncertainty about completing the entire round, the tournament results will be considered final through 54 holes in line with PGA Tour regulations. A playoff between Power and Smotherman will then determine the champion.\n\nSmotherman shot a five-under par 66 on Saturday, giving him a 16-under par total of 197. This performance secured him the second title of the month after his maiden PGA Tour win at the Utah Championship three weeks ago. Power matched Smotherman's score on Saturday with a four-under 67, which included a birdie at the 17th hole, putting him level with Smotherman atop the leaderboard.\n\nPower and Smotherman were two strokes ahead of American Taylor Moore and Canadians Corey Conners and Ben Silverman, who all finished 54 holes at 14-under par.",
