WATERFORD'S SEAMUS Power could make his debut at the Masters next month after climbing the world rankings this week.
The 35 year-old has never played at Augusta and due to the sudden jump in the rankings is at this moment in line to play at the famous event.
The world's top-50 in the week starting 28 March are guaranteed their place, Power is 48th in the world at this moment, but still has time to drop out.
At the Player Championship this week, Power finished tied 33rd -2 under. This allowed him to climb two places in the rankings.
Power has had a good season so far having ended last year in 72nd, but two top-10 placings, and a further two top-15 finishes, have seen him shoot up the list.
Elsewhere Shane Lowry has stayed in 36th after finishing in a tie for 13th at Sawgrass, while Rory McIlroy has dropped one place to 7th after finishing alongside Power.
