New York was the scene of all the action from the Bethpage Golf Course in Farmingdale, about an hour's drive from New York City - for the 109th U.S. Golf Open which aired on June 15, 2009 leading up to the final on June 22 on ESPN and NBC Sports.

Torrential rains on Thursday delayed the start with more rain delaying the third round on Saturday. The final rounds were eventually pushed back to Monday, when golf greats like Phil Milkelson and defending champ Tiger Woods were all wet, compared to relative unknowns Ricky Barnes and Lucas Glover, who were tied going into the final.

The 29-yeard-old Glover, who had his first triumph ever at the US Golf Open, won by shaking off the gloomy weather and plodding along to victory.
