The setup for this week's Ryder Cup looks more like a regular tour event than a major, with the rough cut down to a manageable 2 inches, some of the tee boxes — including on the par-4 first — moved up and a drenching bout of rain Thursday softening up the course. Asked what kind of score Bethpage — considered the toughest municipal course in America — might surrender in a regular, four-round, stroke-play tournament this week, Harris English of the U.S. guessed 18- to 20-under par. Winning scores from previous majors played at Bethpage have ranged from Brooks Koepka's 8-under par for the 2019 PGA Championship to Tiger Woods' 3 under at the 2002 U.S. Open.
