FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP)—One by one, they climbed the steep hill toward the 18th green at Bethpage Black in what resembled a parade of major champions Friday in the U.S. Open.

U.S. Open champion Tiger Woods arrived from a bunker, the third time in four holes he failed to find the fairway. Masters champion Angel Cabrera needed a search party to find his ball along the weeds right of the fairway. British Open and PGA champion Padraig Harrington looked beat after a long two days of too many bogeys.

They have combined to win 19 majors.

They were a combined 14 over par, the only numbers that really mattered in the first round.

“The course is playing tough, obviously,” Woods said after a 74, his highest opening round in a major in three years.
