Seamus Power leads the home challenge in the Horizon Irish Open at the halfway stage of the first round but it is New Zealand's Ryan Fox who has stolen a march on the field with an eight under-par 64.
Starting at the 10th hole in the morning's marquee group with Ryder Cup stars Shane Lowry and Tyrrell Hatton, Waterford's Power excited the home fans by moving to four under-par with a birdie on the second green, and after 10 holes of his round.
As he put it himself afterwards, the 35-year-old "bizarrely" bogeyed the two par 5s on his way in - the fifth and eighth holes - but responded with a superb birdie from off the green on the last to card a 68.
