EDISON, N.J. ? 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 were waiting until today 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.

Former Kansas University golfer Gary Woodland finished Thursday with a 2-under-par 69.
