Surprise in The U.S. Open Golf 2009

The U.S. Open Golf 2009 Leaderboard has a few surprises sitting at the top, and no Tiger in sight. The tournament continued Saturday morning with the second round after the rain held off Friday and allowed the golfers to finish their first rounds and start their second rounds. Currently Ricky Barnes lead the way at -8 under with Lucas Glover right behind him at -7. David Duval has played extremely well seeing as he hasn't sniffed the top of a leaderboard in a major in years. Duval is at -3 as he has already finished his second round play with an even par 70. Other notables include Phil Mickelson who finished his second round Even par and is at -1 for the tournament and Sergio Garcia who shot Even par in his second round and is at Even par for the tourney.

Tiger Woods sits 12 shots back before he even starts his second round, which he's set to tee off at 10:06 a.m. He fell apart on the last four holes of his first round as he had 2 bogeys and a double bogey after he had worked his way to Even par. He is at +4 and has some major work to do just to make the cut to play in the third and fourth rounds.

The TV schedule for today's coverage can be found here and you can watch online for free through the U.S. Open website. Today could be another adventure as far as weather is concerned as there is a weather system that will bring rain to Bethpage later this afternoon. It looks like all the players may be able to finish their second rounds but there's no way they will start the third round.

The U.S. Open is being played at the Black Course of the Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, NY. The U.S. Open homepage has flyovers and a description of how each hole plays.
