The LPGA's first official tournament in the Bahamas boasts an elite field, but Mother Nature has already thrown a wet blanket over this week's event. The $1.3 million tournament was scheduled to run from Thursday through Sunday, but has been shortened to 54 holes and is now to start on Friday after nearly a foot of rain fell on the Ocean Club Golf Course on Tuesday night. In the wake of violent storms, significant amounts of standing water remained on at least seven holes with the ninth and 18th fairways completely flooded, the LPGA said on its website.

A man believed to be a serving British soldier was brutally murdered Wednesday near a London barracks in what Prime Minister David Cameron said appeared to be a terrorist attack.

One broadcaster showed footage of one of the men at the scene carrying a blood-covered knife and meat cleaver saying to the camera: "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you."
