Hurricane forces cancellation of tournament

The threat of Hurricane Wilma has forced the cancellation of the Nationwide Tour's Miccosukee Championship.

The tournament was the final full-field event of the season, giving players one last chance to finish among the top 60 on the money list and qualify for the Nationwide Tour Championship next week.

Brian Henninger was 61st on the money list, $6,601 behind Scott Peterson.

``While we are disappointed to cancel this week's tournament, particularly with so much at stake for players, we need to focus on people's safety first,'' said Bill Calfee, chief of operations for the Nationwide Tour.
