U.S. Open at Bethpage Black
Bethpage Black is usually described as almost impossible and quite the challenge for any golfer.Today made those statements even more accurate as rain for the U.S. Open is never fun and especially at Bethpage.
Bethpage hosts the U.S.Open for a second time this decade and the rain is diminishing the chances of a lot of the pros.How much rain does it take to bother the worlds best golfers?Eduardo Romero thinks it makes the course the most difficult he has played.
30 days of rain in the past 45 days on Long Island makes Bethpage Black a soft and soggy course.With three of the longest par 4s in Open history, including the 7th at 525-yards,it is the longest non-par 5 ever played.Players have hit drivers off the tee box and the fairway in the rain. The pros are learning a new way to play Bethpage Black while the fairways are soggy and the rain is still driving.
The field runs the gamut from Robert Allenby to Azuma Yano with Tiger Woods shooting for the grand prize.Lets watch this weekend and see which golfer is truly a mudder.
