Rain suspension in US Open first day

Play has been suspended on the opening day of the United States Open at Bethpage Black because of heavy rain.
Forecast is for the rain to clear during the afternoon (local time).
The hope is that the morning wave of 78 competitors can complete round one today, with the afternoon wave, which includes Phil Mickelson, completing the first round on Friday.
Once the rain does stop, Jim Hyler, the chairman of the Championship Committee, said it would take 30 minutes or so to get the course back into playing condition.
