Seamus Power's bid to retain his PGA Tour card got off to a positive start with a two-under par opening round of 69 at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship in Royal Port GC.
Power - who won this event in 2022 - recorded four birdies and two dropped strokes in a steady first round to leave himself in tied-13th, four strokes behind the leader, Canada's Adam Hadwin.
After a season hampered by injury during the summer, the Waterford golfer currently sits in 133rd in the FedEx Cup standings, with only the top 100 at the end of the season enjoying full status next year.
The Bermuda Championship is the penultimate event of 2025 with the season concluding at next week's RSM Classic in Georgia.
Hadwin leads after a six-under par 65 on a first day where not every player finished their round due to encroaching darkness.
The Canadian, 147th in the FedEx standings and needing a couple of big performances, leads by one stroke from Japan's Takumi Kanaya and American Braden Thornberry, who still has two holes left to play in his opening round.
