Rain forces Monday finish at Open

Associated Press

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. The U.S. Open has been delayed until noon because of overnight rain that continues to saturate Bethpage Black.

That means a champion won't be decided until at least Monday, which would be the first Monday finish since 1983.

Sixteen of the 60 players who made the cut still have not begun the third round.

The tournament was halted Saturday evening when a burst of showers flooded the greens. Still, U.S. Open officials hoped to finish the final two rounds on Sunday, but it rained throughout the night and into the morning.

Ricky Barnes was leading with a record 36-hole score of 8-under 132.

The last time a U.S. Open finished on a Monday was in 1983 when Larry Nelson won at Oakmont.
