South Carolina Golfers Fairing Well In Jersey

EDISON, N.J. (AP) — Harrison Frazar has opened The Barclays with a 7-under 64. All anyone wanted to talk about was Irene. The PGA Tour playoffs for the FedEx Cup got off a soggy start Thursday at Plainfield. Not only was there a rain delay of nearly three hours, the focus quickly shifted to how Hurricane Irene will affect the rest of the week. Tour officials are waiting until Friday to see how the forecast shapes up before deciding what to do about the rest of the tournament. The notion of a 36-hole Saturday already has been ruled out. Meanwhile, Frazar had a bogey-free round to take a one-shot lead over Vijay Singh and Jonathan Byrd. Of the early starters, 29 players shot in the 60s. Nick Watney, the No. 1 seed, opened with a 67.
