What is a blog?  For us it is a short blurb that we write when the mood strikes us.  It can be first person, funny or informative. In short, a blog is whatever we want it to be. Published June 21, 2009 at 5:04 a.m.

Justin Leonard (71-75-146 +6) -- Carded five birdies in an opening round 71 then five bogeys and a double in his second round 75.

JP Hayes (74-74-148 +8) -- Went through qualifying to get in but couldn't make enough birdies to offset the mistakes.

Matt Kuchar (71-77-148 +8) -- Solid opening round done in by one birdie, six bogey, one double bogey second round.

Justin Rose (73-75-148 +8) -- Season long funk continues for the English Rose.

Chad Campbell (80-70-150 +10) -- Soup did a great job of coming back in round two but the distance to cover was just too wide in the end.

Paul Casey (75-75-150 +10) -- Three time world wide winner in '09 did not notch a birdie in two rounds around Bethpage Black.

Padraig Harrington (76-76-152 +12) -- Five birdies offset by three doubles and 11 bogeys.

Ernie Els (78-77-155 +15) -- Happened to be over at Naga-Waukee watching a little bit of the action with Tom Halla when up on the screen popped up a shot of The Big Easy on the range at Bethpage wearing a device on his right arm straight out of "Tin Cup". Simultaneously we both groaned. Wow.
Stats: Through two rounds of the US Open, the 504 yard par 4 12th hole is playing as the most difficult on Bethpage Black. No. 12 is playing to a stroke average of 4.47 and has given up just 14 birdies against 155 pars, 127 bogeys, 14 double bogeys and two others.

As tough as the course has played over the opening two rounds, there are two holes on the Black that are playing under par. No. 4, a 517-yard par 5 is playing as the easiest hole on the course, coming in with a stroke average of 4.76 giving up two eagles, 111 birdies, 163 pars, 29 bogeys and six doubles.

The next easiest hole is No. 14 a 158 yard par 3 playing to a stroke average of 2.97 while yielding 55 birdies, 214 pars, 40 bogeys and three double bogeys.

Speaking of Weather: Sunday in Farmingdale, forecasts call for a 70 percent chance of moisture with light rain and high near 67. Winds are expected to be brisk, coming from the North at 15-25 miles per hour. Sweet, just one more issue to contend with on an already stressed golf course.
