FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) - The first round of the U.S. Open started Thursday. Weather permitting, the earliest it will end is Friday.
A daylong deluge at Bethpage Black postponed much of the opening round to Friday. Rain started falling moments before play began and never stopped, overwhelming an already-waterlogged course.
No one completed more than 11 holes, and half the 156-man field didn't even start their round.
