The highly regarded course’s two previous swings at a major, U.S. Opens in 2002 and 2009, suffered from a lack of drama and poor weather.
By Chuck Culpepper Chuck Culpepper Reporter who covers national college football, college basketball, tennis, golf and international sports. Email Bio Follow May 15 at 6:42 PM FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — The Black Course on Long Island’s Bethpage State Park, long treasured as more inhumane than its intra-park neighbors the Blue Course, the Red Course, the Green Course and the Yellow Course, could use a break if not a mulligan.
Koepka said: “It’s almost 7,500. Wet, it’s going to be playing about 77 [-hundred]. That’s a long golf course.”With that, he used a word that has ruined bygone days here: “wet.” He won at Bethpage by three. He played Sunday with one Sergio Garcia and zero suspense. Phil Mickelson sort of made a Sunday charge and sort of didn’t. Woods, then 26, finished in near-darkness on Sunday. He pulled the ball out of the cup, stood up, pumped his arms. Nobody remembers much else about the competition. It featured no memorable shots replayed and discussed in tipsy circles among the golf-addled.
The winner, Lucas Glover, played zero holes on Thursday, 31 on Friday, five on Saturday, 19 on Sunday and 17 on Monday. David Duval contended and told reporters on Sunday, “It’s been so screwy, I barely remember it’s Sunday.” Ricky Barnes contended heavily and said: “It’s kind of like being stuck in an airport and they won’t refund you. But you’ll come back and you’ll get to your destination every once in a while.
