The first day of the US open ended in a non fashionable manner; heavy rain suspended the tournament at Bethpage Black until Friday. Favorite and defending champion, Tiger Woods, ended the day +1 after 6 holes. Woods’ partners, PGA championship winner Padraig Harrington and Masters winner Angel Cabrera, knew as well as Tiger that rain was going to be an issue, and this showed in the scores for every golfer. Angel Cabrera ended his day at even par thru 6 holes, while Harrington shot +4 thru 6. The leader of the tournament after “the first day” is Jeff Brehaut, who is -1 thru 11 holes. He is tied for first with several players. As everybody knows, no matter his situation, Tiger Woods will be in contention for the championship at the end of this weekend.
