Well, this is just their schedule for right now. No one has had 2 days in a row rain out for 40 years, so they are still in the "doing what they know" mode. And ordinarily, keeping the tournament on track to end on schedule is what they do.

Really? Is this true for all the majors, or just for the US Open?

I seem to recall a US Open, probably within the last ten years (maybe 2003, from other comments) that had oodles of rain, but is this really the first time that they've lost two consecutive days? Anyone have a good history of weather delays at the majors over the years?
