Speaking during interviews, Ireland\u2019s Seamus Power described an attachment to Bermuda that extends beyond his experiences on the golf course.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cMy first time coming here, I actually \u2014 honestly, I always tell people this, I thought it was much closer to the Caribbean so I was kind of blown away, it was a totally different vibe than I was expecting. It\u2019s beautiful, the colors of the houses, the color of the water, all that kind of stuff. I just kind of fell in love with the place pretty early on and always felt comfortable on the golf course.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ben James, visiting Bermuda for the first time, said the blue water had caught his attention before he even landed.<\/p>\n

Corey Conners was hoping to experience some of that scenery away from the course. Asked how he planned to spend a free afternoon, he said he would \u201ctry and dip my toes in the sand somewhere. Water looks absolutely incredible here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conners also praised the condition of Port Royal, saying: \u201cThe golf course is playing great, it\u2019s in wonderful shape and was really a nice day.\u201d<\/p>\n
