Power in position to mount a weekend challenge

The putts that roll in to find the bottom of the thin cup but remain unheard to all except those closest, the player and perhaps his caddie.
In producing a well-crafted second round 70 to add to his opening 71, the K Club-attached Waterford man reached the halfway stage on 141, one over par, and ready to target another strong weekend showing. “It is tough going out there. It is so penal for even an average shot and that’s the difference I think for this week [compared to regular tour events]. This is not as extreme I am sure as some of the US Opens but it is still punishing for a poor shot.
“Look, it’s tough. There’s a breeze and it was moving around. There was a lot of conversation with Simon [Keelan, his caddie]. If you really get the wind a little bit off, it can end up in spots where you have no chance. You have to make good decisions and to pick the wind right and the right landing spot. It’s a full-on team effort nearly all the way around,” admitted Power, adding:
“My attitude? I think you are always working on it. You still get frustrated and all that but the thing with the Majors is you have got to snap out of it pretty fast because you can turn one mistake into two dropped shots pretty quickly.
