He recovered with a birdie on the par five sixth, before closing out the front nine with three pars in a row.
Another birdie and bogey followed on 11 and 12, and Power should have birdied the 13th, too, but had to settle for par after seeing his close-range putt lip out.
He added a further birdie on the 15th and then found par on the final three holes to sit four-under for the day.
Kramer Hickok and Japan’s Satoshi Kodaira hold the early clubhouse lead, the two shooting superb rounds of 63 to sit seven-under par.
America’s Taylor Gooch sits a further shot behind on six-under, with a cluster of players finishing the day on five-under.
Bernard Jackman, Murray Kinsella and Gavan Casey discuss Ireland’s Sevens success, the retirement of Connacht’s Seán O’Brien, the introduction of the 50/22 law at Test level, Noel McNamara’s move to the Sharks, this weekend’s English and French league finals, and the Lions’ opener against the returning Japanese.
