Waterford man shot a three-under-par 68, just two shots adrift of the early clubhouse leader

has found consistency since his return from injury, making seven of eight cuts so far this season, and – it seemed – the 37-year-old Waterford player also added some firepower to his game in finishing with two birdies in his closing four holes for an opening round of three-under-par 68 in the Valspar Championship on the Copperhead course at Innisbrook resort in Tampa, Florida.

Power’s solid round on a course known for its tough finish – the closing three holes stretch has earned the moniker of the “Snake Pit” – was showcased by finding 15 greens in regulation. Svensson’s solid all-round game gave him the early clubhouse lead, a shot clear of Brendon Todd, Keith Mitchell and Aussie Aaron Baddeley who has shown glimpses of his old self of late.
