I personally think that every event should be commentated by Jim Nantz. To me he is the classiest commentator of all. He is still accurate but, not as brutal as Johnny Miller.

Yeah...I agree.

Have any of you seen the YouTube video of Chris Berman cussing out someone off camera? What an ass.

Yeah, I have. The guy is a joke.

No I haven't. I try to steer clear of Berman. I can put up with him sometimes during football season but, that is about it.

I think they are showing live video coverage on espn.com. not positive though.

Thanks. They're showing the Woods/Mickelson/Scott group only

Whatever, I'll take it!

Yeah, but he doesn't work for every network. That's kind of silly. IMO he's over-rated these days anyways. I actually don't think Johnny Miller is bad... sure he's a bit arrogant and dry but he really does know his stuff.

Haven't seen it but I'm not surprised. Back in the day, much like everyone else, I liked him quite a bit when he did SportsCenter. He really is a horrible announcer. I'm not even sure he knows anything about sports.

ESPN needs to stick to SportsCenter and never do golf again. They suck at televising it and Chris Berman sucks at commentating it.

Leave it to the real golf people at NBC.

I will say the quality of the picture looks a little better on my TV on ESPN than NBC but that's a moot point.

NBC HD LOOKS FANTASTIC.

Everytime I hear Chris Berman talking about golf I think of his HORRIBLE round at Pebble . . . you could see his plumber crack THROUGH his golf shirt. NOW THAT'S AN ACCOMPLISHMENT!

holy crap Tiger has made so many clutch par save putts today.

He really has. That's the one thing he can work on with a bum knee.

Nice little comeback from Phil.

Tiger has had some awesome par saves today. That's what is keeping him in it. I think you're going to see a different Tiger tomorrow after he gets the first round under his belt.

NBC still doesn't look as clear on my TV as ESPN does, maybe just my TV though? I'll still take golf on NBC anyday over ESPN. I have HD as well.

When I switched from ESPN (not HD) to NBC HD today, the difference was big. The picture was much sharper and you see much more gleam of the grass. You can see the skin melanoma on the older guys. . .

I believe the reason why the coverage was so spotty was some sort of agreement with the USGA and just which networks get to carry how many hours of coverage. By putting all the extra stuff in there ESPN could claim that they really weren't showing the tourny live - just highlights live - until their regularly alotted broadcast time.

There's the winner. Right on. It's called "U.S. Open Extra" for a reason. It's "extra."

My ESPN and NBC are both in HD. I'm watching on ESPN right now and it's still clearer than NBC on my TV.

I agree Tiger is hurting but I still think he will do better today and be in contention on Sunday.

    • Hi all. I have sought permission from admin to post this here. First, here's a quick link to my products on TST, which a few of the mods have been road-testing...  Most of you would be aware of the import tariffs imposed on importers to the US circa September last year. Prior to their introduction, I was selling a decent number each week into the 'States. Since the tariffs came in - which added ~AU$60 to the total cost of getting them over there - sales have dropped to virtually nil. I think fear of the tariffs is the biggest part rather than the actual cost increase, despite me declaring everywhere on my site that we pay the tariffs and have successfully got every order into the US without any problems since. What is still unknown to most US consumers is that these tariffs will DOUBLE in February as Australia Post will no longer be allowed to offer "private" rates, they all change to "commercial". I do indeed think that this will make the products uncompetitive to ship there. So what's the backstory?  I'm a small Aussie business, not some corporate juggernaut. I invented these products - not a reseller for someone else. The import tariffs double in February, so add another ~15% to the total cost. If you want StanceMate alone I can do a super deal on a run-out model PREVIEW HERE (note you cannot purchase this yet. I think the shipped price will be about AU$110 inc Shipping (tariffs included). If you want to reduce the cost of the whole Stryper Plus Bundle I can swap the runout StanceMate to reduce the overall price by AU$60. These work EXACTLY as the newer version, just not as premium quality in the way the finish is achievbed in production) IMPORTANT: All import tariffs are PRE-PAID at my end, and clears customs no problem. I've sent a half dozen since October with every one delivered. NB: I'm not here to get into the politics of the decisions on tariffs, so let's not go down that road. It is what it is! So StanceMate to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - about US$70 Bundle to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$240 Bundle (with version 1 StanceMate) to your door in US - tariffs prepaid - US$200 Cheers Corbs
