A fence is blown over after remnants of Hurricane Ike swept through the area as workers prepare for the 37th Ryder Cup Championship at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky September 15, 2008. Play in the Ryder Cup begins on September 19. Preparations for next week's Ryder Cup were temporarily halted on Sunday as the remnants of Hurricane Ike swept across much of Kentucky. Winds gusting up to 90 kph (145 kms) blew a television tower on to the 12th green at Valhalla Golf Club, causing minor damage, and the on-course media centre was closed as a safety precaution.
