US Open 2009 - Bethpage Black

[Banedon]

I wouldn't. 4 man group - 18 more holes would make this take forever to finish.

 

It's already taken forever to finish. What's a few more hours?

 

I'd be able to see the end if they did that...heh.

Oh, uh Glover made par and won, despite gong +3 for the round. Fairly anti-climactic finish to a really bizarre tournament. I'm guessing Bethpage won't be getting an Open again for a long time.

Most sunny time of tourny during trophy presentation.

So is Glover going to rise up and be a top flight player like Ogilvy or is he the next Michael Campbell?

Not really Bethpage's fault that it rained that much though. I mean, couldn't the same thing have happened at Winged Foot?

Why don't you think Bethpage will get the Open again for a while. I think the USGA loves the fact that it is a public course and has rowdy galleries. I think that is part of the reason that they brought it back to Bethpage so quickly.

David Duval...how bout dat. If he didnt lip out that short putt i dont think Glover tees off with a 6 iron on 18.

Is David Duval back might be the bigger question than who is Lucas Glover.

No, it's not, but twice in 7 years, and the next 7 will not be in NY area. I've got to think another course in the area will get in next, and with 3 of 4 being on the east coast at the end of this 7 year period, it will probably be another few years after that Bethpage gets it. Shinnecock might be next in line.

Yes, I think that was part of the reason why they gave it right back. Plus there may have been a little bit of a post 9/11 pro-NY feeling when it was awarded the tourny (assuming it was awarded after 2001 of course). But as I stated, there are multiple NY courses to choose from, and they are probably in-line before Bethpage again.

I split the HD DVR EHD discussion over to the HD TV thread since it's probably a bit more fitting there than in a golf thread that will soon die off into oblivion.
