FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) -- Bethpage State Park erected a sign on the first tee to let the public know what to expect. ``Warning: The Black Course is an extremely difficult course which is recommended only for highly skilled golfers.''

There was no need to remove the sign just because the world's best players came by for the U.S. Open.

``We all think of ourselves as highly skilled,'' Hal Sutton said Wednesday. ``I guess we're about to find out.''
