Calm before storm?

No rain yet at Bethpage Black, with second-round play continuing under cloudy skies. By all indications, though, heavy rain is expected to reach the area by early afternoon, giving players four or five more hours to take advantage of a soft, vulnerable course.

Scores are reflecting how toothless Bethpage Black is right now. Lucas Glover and Mike Weir share the lead at 7-under, with Glover just finishing a second-round 64, which ties the competitive course record. Weir is playing the 15th. Ricky Barnes is a shot back at 6-under.

Other players to note: Phil Mickelson has taken a step back; he's 1-over for his second round through 15 holes and even-par for the tournament. Quincy's Michael Welch is 3-over for his second round after 11 holes and 6-over for the tournament.

For those fans of Tiger Woods: Your guy begins his second round at 10:06 a.m., and when he does he'll be trailing by at least 11 shots. Nobody has won the US Open when trailing by 10 or more shots after one round; Woods (4-over 74) trailed Weir (6-under 64) by 10 after 18 holes had been completed, so he'll have his work cut out. He's probably just hoping to get some golf in. The weather definitely hasn't helped those in Woods's side of the draw.
