US Open Round Up

Play in the 109th US Open was called off early on today’s first day because of a waterlogged Bethpage Black course in New York.



Half of the 156-man field had yet to start their rounds, with the first two groups out completing just 11 holes.



With heavy rain forecast for tomorrow, the second round is unlikely to be completed until Saturday morning.



Americans Jeff Brehaut and Ryan Spears, Sweden’s Johan Edfors and Canadian Andrew Parr were leading at one under with England’s Ian Poulter and Argentina’s Masters champion Angel Cabrera in a large group on level par.



Cabrera was playing in an illustrious group with defending champion Tiger Woods and Ireland’s Padraig Harrington, the Open and USPGA champion.



Woods pulled his opening tee shot 50 yards into the rough before scrambling for par. He went on to double bogey the fifth and birdie the sixth for one over.
