SEAMUS POWER HAS made an impressive start in the Honda Classic, and sits just four shots off the current leader C.T. Pan, who has taken over from joint-leaders Cody Gribble and Wesley Bryan.

Waterford native Power recorded three birdies, an eagle and three bogeys on the way to carding a two-under par first round of 68 to leave him in a strong position on the leaderboard.

Meanwhile, Padraig Harrington and Graeme McDowell struggled to two-over par rounds of 72 on Thursday.

McDowell had a promising start and was two-under through 10 holes but four dropped shots over the next four holes saw him regress to two-over.

Harrington produced a late recovery to bring him from three-over to two-over at the finish to sit in a tie for 94th.
