It’s pouring rain at Bethpage Black, the American golf course that Tiger Woods is defending his remarkable 2008 US Open win on. Woods set out on his US Open quest early this morning on a course thinking he wasn’t going too far because of the heavy rain. However, the world’s best golfer managed to get six holes in before the course was closed and the golf tournament put on hold. "We probably played more holes than we thought," Tiger Woods said.The rain delay means golfers are going to have a long day tomorrow when the tournament resumes at 7:30 a.m. ET. That is if the rain stops!

Shaelyn Palmer

Shaelyn Palmer wasn't happy with rumors that Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco planned to stay with the family in July. Ochocinco told the media that he would being staying at Carson Palmer's house while he worked out with the quarterback next month. "As soon as I walked in the door from work the other day, she just gave me that look," Palmer said. "I'm like, 'Whoa, calm down. It's media stuff. It's Chad being Chad.'

Palmer missed a dozen games during Cincinnati's 4-11-1 season last year. He partially tore a ligament and tendon from the bone in his passing elbow, and got conflicting medical advice on what to do about it. He could have gotten reconstructive surgery, but chose to see if it would heal on its own.

So far, it's apparent he made the right choice. Palmer has been throwing informally and during voluntary team workouts, slowly building back his strength. The Bengals are keeping Palmer on the equivalent of a pitch count, limiting the number of throws he makes in practice until the season begins. After his completion to Cosby in the afternoon session, Palmer removed his helmet, covered his head with a white towel and turned spectator.
