Course knowledge doesn't help Bradley

Local knowledge is not everything. Keegan Bradley, who played Bethpage Black regularly when he was at St. John's and considers it his favorite course, missed the cut. He needed a birdie on the final hole, but his downhill putt slid by. He finished with a 2-over-par 73 Friday and was 2 over for the two days.
Among things yelled: "Further back, Zach! . . . Left, left, left . . . By the trooper! . . . Hot, hot . . . Cold!"
One fan, Steve Rollino, 22, a caddie at Huntington Country Club, was allowed inside the ropes to help look. Unsuccessful, Rollino was booed on his way back, but not before he said to Woods, whose ball was on the green, "Nice shot Tiger." He said that Woods replied, "Thanks, bud."
Johnson tripled the hole and The Barclays had its first Only at Bethpage moment.
