Seamus Power opened with a sedate level par 71 in the Korn Ferry Tour’s Utah Championship presented by Zions Bank.

Starting on the back nine at Oakridge Country Club in Farmington, the West Waterford golfer (33) bogeyed the 13th before making his lone birdie of the day at the par-five 15th.

His 71 left him tied for 119th, eight strokes adrift of England’s Harry Hall and Stephan Jaeger, whose eight-under 63’s gave them a one-shot lead over Josh Teater, Ryan Ruffels, TJ Vogel, Chandler Blanchet and Kyle Jones.

Power, who scrambled well and hit six of 14 fairways and 13 greens, finished outside the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings last year.

However, he expects to get several PGA Tour starts soon as the star players take a break.
