Retired food executive Steve Levine of Pikesville calls the site of the U.S. Open, Chambers Bay, the "most unbelievable place I've ever seen."

"I would certainly say my short game has been something that has taken a hit," Woods said Tuesday at the Congressional Country Club, where he will play the role of host and favorite when the AT&T National begins Thursday.
