Seamus Power is a shot off the lead after the opening round of the Sanderson Farms Championship.
Power carded a score of 65 to finish on seven-under-par. He began his round on the 10th and was six under thru six. He then had an eagle at the par-five 14th and a birdie on 15.
Birdies on 16 and 18 threatened to spoil his day, but he came home with three more birdies.
The Waterford player is in a share for second alongside Australia's Cameron Percy and American Robert Streb share
American Tom Hoge produced a bogey-free, eight-under-par 64 to lead after a rain-shortened first day in Jackson, Mississippi.
Hoge, who finished second in the PGA Tour's opening event last week, continued his strong form with a front nine of 31 before coming home in 33 - a monster 46-foot birdie putt on the 18th capping his day in fine style.
Six players, including Zac Blair, Zach Johnson, Mark Anderson and Emiliano Grillo, are tied for third after rounds of 67.
Byeong Hun An and JT Poston are also on five under but are yet to finish their opening round after play was called off the for the day with around half the field still on the course.
🚨 SIX under through 6 holes to kick off the @Sanderson_Champ.
