What PGA tournament is currently being played at bethpage golf course?”
On a big, brute of a golf course such as Bethpage Black, a relatively short-knocker like Mike Weir isn’t anyone’s first choice in the office pool. Of course, the left-handed Canadian wasn’t supposed to win the Masters Tournament either. Mike Weir is getting on the green and sinking his puts to remain in contention.

He’s in a most comfortable place, lurking two shots off the lead with two rounds to go after fighting back to finish off an even-par second round Saturday. “I’m not the longest hitter, but usually pretty consistent and I’m very determined, I would say,” said Weir of his ability to hang with the bigger hitters on a course saturated with rain. “Might not be the prettiest, but I usually find a way to get it in the hole.” • Day 3 recap
