New Jersey was under a hurricane warning, and officials feared up to 10 inches of rain could fall on Sunday. That would make it impossible for The Barclays to be a 72-hole tournament, and the aftermath of the storm would keep Plainfield Country Club from being ready even into early next week.
Tournament director Peter Mele also said the volunteers needed to be home to make plans for their families.
“It kind of makes you want to cry because of all the effort that went in, and all of the energy that surrounded this event going into the week, which is going to be the best Barclays we have ever had,” Mele said.

It's very unfortunate about the Barclays, but lets just pray that everyone is safe and sound after Irene hits.
