KAPALUA, Hawaii — A bum deal for Webb Simpson. A big break for Scott Stallings.

And a mulligan for the PGA Tour.

The new golf season was not even two hours old when the wind squalls roaring down the mountains above Maui made conditions too severe to continue Friday in the Tournament of Champions. Because the first group off had only completed eight holes — six players had not even started — and the forecast offered no relief from the wind, the first round was wiped out.

Season opener, take two.

Rickie Fowler will return to the first tee Saturday morning, and for the second straight day, officially launch the PGA Tour season. But even that’s in doubt. The plan was to play 36 holes, though the forecast was for wind just as strong.

Conditions were so tough that only two of the 20 players who had a score on their cards were under par.
