FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP)—It’s almost impossible to find a golfer who doesn’t use the words difficult or long in describing Bethpage Black.
It is impossible to find anyone connected with the U.S. Open who doesn’t want to keep the rain away.
With a recent rain history approaching biblical proportions, and a forecast that has umbrella salespeople smiling, the 7,426-yard, par-70 public course that is hosting the Open for a second time this decade is throwing a wet blanket over the chances of a lot of golfers.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) – Brian Gay played his way into the U.S. Open in his last possible chance, completing a wire-to-wire victory Sunday in the St. Jude Classic.
Gay earned his berth at Bethpage Black with his second win in his last five events and third of his career. He beat David Toms and Bryce Molder by five strokes to grab the Open exemption as a multiple winner in the last calendar year.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) — Robert Karlsson of Sweden has withdrawn from the U.S. Open next week at Bethpage Black because of an eye infection which has left him with no depth perception in his left eye.
Karlsson is No. 14 in the world ranking and is coming off a year in which he became the first Swede to win the Order of Merit on the European Tour.
