Weather here In Mid-Atlantic has been awful. Cold ,wet and windy. Can't be sure but the superintendent has his hands full getting Bethpage ready for the event this week. Anyone been there lately?

I went today and the course is in good shape and not as wet as 2002 or 2009. If the forecast is right going forward the tournament rounds should see suitable conditions. The rough is lush and is going to cause some pain at three and a half inches. Foul balls that find their way into the higher and more gnarly rough will be hit or miss because it isn't as dense. There is some variety of low lying blue stem fescue scattered around at probably a foot tall.
