Hurricane Jeanne forces Singh out September 28, 2004 10:11 IST World number one Vijay Singh has had to withdraw from this week's WGC-American Express Championship in Kilkenny, Ireland, after becoming a victim of Hurricane Jeanne. Singh was due to fly home to Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, on Sunday after his win in the Pennsylvania Classic but due to the hurricane he was unable to return until Monday. When he did get back, the storms had left his house with no power and water was coming in. European Tour officials said that despite Singh's withdrawal, 44 of the top 50 in the world rankings would be teeing up in the tournament which starts on Thursday. They include three-times winner Tiger Woods.
