Rockin' End to Celebrity Pro-Am

Rain suspended play early in the celebrities' rounds Wednesday.

The rain may have spoiled part of the day during the Celebrity Pro-am at the Travelers Championship Wednesday, but it didn't do much to deter the crowd from turning out to see Eddie Money perform.

Money, who played the the rain-shortened pro-am Wednesday, took the stage in the Travelers Championship fan zone around 7:30 p.m. and treated fans to hits including, "Baby Hold On", "Take Me Home Tonight" and "Two Tickets to Paradise".

The rocker was joined on stage by former NFL star Doug Flutie and then by ESPN's Chris Berman, who added his famous "Back...back...back...back" to Money's hit, "I Wanna Go Back".

Earlier in the day, singer Michael Bolton, actor Joe Pesci, Celtics star Ray Allen and UConn Head Coach Jim Calhoun got in some golf while dodging raindrops.

Lightning suspended play around 11 a.m, but resumed at 2 p.m.

Tournament play with the PGA Tour professionals gets underway on Thursday morning with defending champion Bubba Watson, as well as former major winners, Jim Furyk, Geoff Ogilvy, Vijay Singh and Lucas Glover.
