Q. Eight pars and then five birdies in six, what was the key to that run?
SEAMUS POWER: I just find that visually, that stretch kind of suits me a little bit better. Some of those holes, I'm a fader, so 16, 15, a couple of those holes are visually a little tougher for me. So once I got to 18 tee, I thought I might have a chance.
It's one of those courses though with the greens, you just have to stay patient. You can hit pretty good shots and then not end up that close to the hole, and that happened to me a couple times on the back side. But I was able to take advantage of the front, and actually got a couple of chances really to get it going on 7 and 9 but overall, a lot golf stuff.
Q. Your debut here; what do you think of the course?
SEAMUS POWER: Incredible. Absolutely incredible. The surroundings and stuff are immaculate. If you can hit in the right spots you can get to any of the pins, and that's a good sign of a good course, and that's what I was able to do on the front there.
Q. You've had an incredible run of form over the last 18 months or so, really raised your level of play. How key is the work you've done with Bob Rotella in that and how has he helped you?
SEAMUS POWER: It's huge. Kind of Sim flied some of the things and reinforces some of the things that you always kind of heard. But to put them into practice is the biggest thing.
To do that today, eight straight pars, wasn't going particularly well, nothing really happened. But kind of keep doing the same kind of things over and over knowing they are the right things, and good things will eventually happen.
