The Open Championship

[microcrayfish]

Great, my favourite major to watch and local coverage here runs from 10:30 pm to 6:30 am, 8 hours of golf coverage that runs exactly in sync with the 8 hours of sleep I get each night . Oh well, at least I won't have to miss work to watch the final round like I did for the US Open, I'll just have to be very tired.

or be 18 and move to England, holidays from college and cancel your life from Thursday to Sunday, my schedule for these days, get up, walk to living room, turn TV on to BBC, watch 10 hours of golf (9 to 7), go to bed after a bit, wake up next day and do the same again. Gonna be amazing

[Valleygolfer]

Any online viewing like the U.S. Open? I didn't anything on espn....

We've got a Tivo equivalent but I prefer watching golf live. Plus my flatmates wouldn't exactly be too happy with me coming home and watching 8 hours of golf in the evening

. I'll still record the broadcast and watch the best bits but I'd rather be able to watch the action while it happens.

I used to feel that way but as long as I don't know the outcome I am fine. Besides golf is on when it is a great time to be golfing.

Just thought i'd make the thread for the best tournament in golf.

I'll remind you that he missed the cut last year with a good swing and switched 3w's, now he doesn't have a swing and switched putters

I love the Open Championship! I work 3pm-3am and will be watching the coverage when I walk through the door on Thursday morning. Then put the DVR in to use and record it when I head to bed. I just wish I could be there in person for this thing.

Zach Johnson, as always for the win. Although, I watched him at the John Deere last week and I don't think he's playing his best. I would also like to see Padraig play well. Others to win, place and show: All players from the UK, especially Robert Rock. Epic name for an epic tourney. I think the jug will stay across the pond this year after Cink returns it.

Does anybody how the T.V. coverage will work this week?

Very well. The BBC is in charge and they're British, dammit!!

Turnberry, actually.

Turnberry, actually.

There, I fixed it. My bad.

Saying he doesn't have a swing is an exaggeration.He's improving all the time in that department, as shown by his improvement in driving accuracy.It's his putting that he needs to worry about, yes.

I would say that if he is going to make a move this year, it will be at St. Andrews. I have heard him talk about the BO in a few interviews like that is what he is training to win and focused on. If he comes in with crappy putting it will be a no go. When I watch him play lately there seems to be an air of complacency and that translates into struggling for par and the occasional birdie. It may be my imagination but that is the impression I get.

I have an sneaky suspicion that he will come in and crush the field. If I am completely off base so be it.

[Titleist_ProV1x]

Don't think Tiger will win, a european player is my bet for this Open.

Damn straight Tiger won't win, but yet these pathtic Woods fans can't seem to grasp the concept that you need a swing to win

[Chillmoon91]

Firstly I think rory will win, his record on this course is really good and hes hitting it great, but for the first time ever I would actually like to see tiger win, usually I would go for the under-dog when tigers on the leaderboard, but now he just seems so demoralised and he could quit its gotten so bad. I would like to see him win to restart his career and forget about his troubles

[JWL1957]

Im hoping for Paddy or Rory.

[Chilli Dipper]

I'm very disappointed that the 4-hole challenge with all the old winners was canceled because of the wind and rain over St. Andrews today. That would have been a lot of fun to watch.

But hey, at least the players are going to have their hands full tomorrow.
