Seamus Power

Quick Quotes

Q. The course is playing, like your first impressions.

SEAMUS POWER: So I came out yesterday and I played, and it was incredible. It's one of those places where I was lucky enough to be here five or six times before but never played it. It's just so far beyond expectations. The course is in fantastic condition. I can't wait to play.

Q. And how do you see the week here? I mean, what could happen this week? We have Tiger. There's a lot of things.

SEAMUS POWER: Yeah, there's a lot of things going on. The weather tomorrow is going to play a role, and hopefully we miss some of that stuff.

I honestly never played here before, so it's going to be tough for me to predict much. I'm just glad to be a part of it, and we'll see what happens.

Q. Were you able to talk to other people, like get their advice? What would be the trick here? What do you feel like is going to be the secret?

SEAMUS POWER: I think the secret is going to be around the greens. That's what I've seen so far. I played just nine holes with Billy Horschel and Fooch, who have been here around plenty of times, and just getting little bits of advice from them.

Yeah, it's just when you're out of position, where to hit it, where you have a chance of getting up and down. That's what I'm trying to learn, obviously having not played here before.

Yeah, it's going to be a challenge. There's going to be pin positions I've never seen before, and I'm sure the conditions are going to change a lot as the week goes on. So it's going to be adjusting on the fly and talking it out with Simon and seeing the best we can do.

Q. Having been here five or six times but never played, is there something you saw the last few days where you went, wow, that kind of surprised me?

SEAMUS POWER: Yeah, it's just -- I mean, not too much, but it's just, it's definitely the greens. Everyone has seen, you can see the course on TV for the most part, but television doesn't do justice to the slopes and the complexity of some of the greens.

That's kind of the thing I'm trying to learn, hitting some putts, like oh, that's not too bad. You think it's two feet, and you look back up, and it could be eight, nine feet. It just breaks more than you might think.

So it's those little kind of things I'm trying to learn, I guess, as I go. Hopefully we can find as many as we can over yesterday, today, tomorrow, and hopefully Wednesday.
