FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (Reuters) - Francesco Molinari would be one of the favourites at the PGA Championship on a dry Bethpage Black, but heavy rains have left the Italian wondering whether he will be at a disadvantage.

The soggy 7,459-yard, par-70 course is long enough at the best of times, and this week it will offer little roll once the ball hits the ground, thereby affording the power players an even bigger edge than usual.
