Pro golfer, Derek Lamely makes a call out of the rain after the Sony Open in Hawaii Pro-Am is canceled this morning because of the weather.
Rain caused the cancellation of the Sony Open in Hawaii Pro-Am and the closure of all city golf courses on Oahu this morning.
A PGA Tour spokesman said the Pro-Am scheduled to tee off this morning was canceled because of the driving rain that enveloped the Waialae Country Club.
The Pro-Am will not be made up as the four-day tournament is scheduled to begin Thursday at 7:10 a.m. when the first groups of pros begin competition.
Fifty-one teams of PGA Tour pros and their partners had been scheduled to play today.

The Ala Wai, Pali, Ted Makalena, Kahuku, West Loch and Ewa Villages golf courses will be re-opened when conditions allow.
