Top 10 U.S. Open Golf Duels
At last year's U.S. Open in Torrey Pines, Calif., Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate faced each other in an unforgettable playoff. Can a match at Bethpage Black live up to Tiger-Rocco? Throughout its 113-year history, the U.S. Open, which will be played June 18-21 in Bethpage, N.Y., has staged some of the most dramatic, and colorful, duels in golf. Here are TIME's 10 best.
While the game of golf may evoke snobby clubs full of badly dressed men, the sport has plenty of courses on which the average player can test his or her skills. Many consider Bethpage State Park's Black Course — where the 2009 U.S. Open will be played June 18-21 — to be the sternest such examination. TIME takes a look at what makes the Long Island course, as well as nine others, so difficult to master.
