Rain has already caused one weather delay at the 2013 U.S. Open but despite the delay Merion Golf Club is holding up well including No. 11.
The 11th hole sits at the lowest elevation on the course which led to some concern that Cobb Creek which borders the green would flood. So far that hasn't been the case.

Flooding hasn't been an issue yet but there is still a lot of golf to play. If Cobb Creek does flood at some point this week it could cause a major issue. Matt Shaffer Merion's director of golf course operations said the silt and grit left on the green from flooding makes the surface like concrete. That's if the hole is still playable. If No. 11 remains flooded USGA Executive Director Mike Davis said they will shuttle players over to the West Course for alternate holes.
