  Seamus Power and countryman Graeme McDowell probably thought they were back home competing on the wind-lashed west coast of Ireland rather than the sun-splashed holiday island of Bermuda.   The Butterfield Bermuda Championship exposed clifftop Port Port course was near defenceless in the warm but extremely windy conditions on day one in the third hosting of the PGA Tour event.   Power returned from a fortnight’s competition break battling the conditions superbly to sign for a four-under par ...
