With the 2009 U.S. Open starting this week at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, New York, golfers around the world will no doubt want to keep on top of the leaderboards while away from the television. Thankfully, the U.S. Open has 2 mobile options for us to explore.

The first option is the U.S. Open 2009 iPhone App. This one features:

  • live ‘marquee’ group coverage on Thursday and Friday (ESPN)
  • live coverage of the 17th hole on Saturday and Sunday (NBC)
  • detailed course and player information
  • live leaderboard
  • up-to-the-minute news

Go ahead and grab the U.S. Open 2009 iPhone App right here (iTunes link). The app is free, so download and enjoy.

The second option is a mobile site compatible with most current mobile browsers. Should work just fine on most of today’s handsets. To check it out hit up m.usopen.com from your mobile device for news, leaderboards and more.

It’s going to be a great week out at Bethpage Black. Tough course, great fans, amazing competition. Can Tiger pull out another with at Bethpage? Can’t wait to see!
