Weather permitting, of course.

Bethpage Black took more than 1 inch of rain in a daylong downpour Thursday and remained squishy in some spots when players resumed the season's second major championship shortly before 7:30 a.m.

Defending champion Tiger Woods' first shot Friday was a 10-foot par putt at the seventh hole. He missed it, settled for a bogey that pushed him to 2 over and three shots off the lead.
