Terrorism could delay Ryder Cup

The Ryder Cup, due to start at The Belfry in 16 days, is in doubt after yesterday’s acts of terrorism in the United States. "I think we can forget about the Ryder Cup for a few months at least," Mark Calcavecchia, a member of the US team, said at the Bellerive Country Club where the American Express Championship was due to start tomorrow.

"The US team were due to have dinner with President Bush at the White House on Sunday night before flying to Britain. That is not going to happen. My guess is it is too soon after the tragedy."

The Ryder Cup is organised jointly by the professional golfers’ associations of Britain and the US and the final decision will be theirs. "Right now our concern is focused on those who are directly affected by today’s devastation," Jim Awtrey, the chief executive officer of the PGA of America, said. "I don’t think it is appropriate for us to comment on anything else at this time."

The American Express Championship was rescheduled yesterday to allow for the fact that 21 of the 68-strong field had yet to register. Tomorrow’s play has been cancelled, with two rounds scheduled for Friday, 18 holes on Saturday and 18 on Sunday. "This is a sad day for America," Tiger Woods said after his practice round.
