In the Barclays Golf Championships at New Jersey , Arjun Atwal had a promising start but it was cut short by Hurricane Irene. He was left stranded at two-under through 11 holes in the first round of the event, which is the first leg of the FedEx Cup play-offs. Atwal had a bogey on the fourth but soon after that he birdied the sixth, ninth and 10th before play was stopped on account of inclement weather. He was provisionally 40th at that stage. Among other Asian names was KJ Choi (70) in tied 64th, while YE Yang was two-under through 16 holes. Harrison Frazar took the lead at seven-under 64 after a soggy and wet start to the FedEx Cup, as Hurricane Irene hit the area. The event is expected to be hit heavily by the Hurricane and there is a strong possibility of it being cut short.
