BAD WEATHER WIPES OUT FIRST-DAY SCORES ON HAWAII

Well, the sun doesn't always shine on Hawaii!

Bad weather wiped out the opening round of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions on the Pacific island meaning a clean restart on Saturday.

American Webb Simpson was leading on three under after seven holes when play was stopped, but his score will be scratched alongwith the others when they get going again over the weekend.
Simpson said: "We were experiencing huge gusts and we were struggling just to stay upright."
"It started off bad and got worse," Slugger White, the US PGA Tour's vice-president of rules and operations, told www.pgatour.com.
"It was pretty nasty out there."

Play had already been suspended twice because of torrential rain and strong winds blowing up to 45mph before the day was finally scrapped.
It will be the first time since the 2005 Players Championship a round has been restarted.
"It stinks for me," Simpson, who had his umbrella broken and said he felt like he was "in a hurricane".
"I got off to a great start, but it's how it goes. The good news is, I'm playing well. I'll try to carry it into tomorrow (Saturday)."
Scott Stallings, who was last on the leaderboard at seven over after four holes, added:
  "I was the biggest benefactor of the whole deal, but I'd like to know how Webb was three under par through all that."
