Blackhawk helicopters from Schofield Barracks on Oahu fly in formation over the Kapalua Plantation Course's first tee Thursday morning during opening ceremonies of the PGA Tour's Mercedes-Benz Championship.

The choppers made their pass after the colors were presented by a Coast Guard color guard unit out of Maalaea and the national anthem was sung by Josh Kelley (right, in photo above).

The second round of the 72-hole tournament is today.
