With ungodly TV viewing hours here stateside, how are you guys watching the Open? DVR? Streaming? Staying up all night with coffee/Mountain Dew/Redbull?

It's a difficult week for american golf fans...haha!

No way!  I love the Open because it comes on early.  I get up at 4 AM and workout.  I will be watching while working out.  Of all the golf tournaments, the Open has the best TV time--IMHO.

Either ESPN or ESPN3.com. I won't get up any earlier than normal, but it is kind of nice to not have to wait until 8 pm to see a winner. I like when events fall in prime time (for the east coast of the U.S.), and I like it when events start in the morning, but I'm not a huge fan of events that are in the middle. Which, unfortunately, is 99% of the time.

I'm getting up to watch it.  Got up this am at 3:30 CST and watched most of Rory's round before heading off to work.  Dragged through most of today but will get to be at around 9pm tonight so I can get up at 3 again.

I don't watch soccer or other world sports so, for me, this and the Ryder Cup (when in Europe) is my big chance to feel like a "sports nut", lol.

Go to bed 9 pm every night and wake up at 4 am. That's exactly what I've done these first 2 days. I don't like watching taped stuff because I know it already happened and I can just look online at the leaderboard to see what happened, so I'm not going to miss any of it!

I just love the feeling of being up at 4 am, laying in my bed and watching golf! It's nice and quiet in the house, still dark out, and I'm a morning person so I love it! Doesn't get much better than that!

I stayed up till 6 AM and watched a few hrs then got back up at 12 and watched a few more.  This morning's coverage was pretty bogus I thought, they would not shut up about Tom Lewis!

Haha they needed something to talk about/get all sentimental about.

It was great watching Tom Watson get an ace live @ some ungodly time in the morning (I had to celebrate quietly as to not wake up anyone).

I made the same mistake as I did last year. I watched the ESPN ESPN3 stream. ESPN3 also makes the BBC coverage available. Much much better. American coverage is full of not golf. BBC shows more golf.

BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN BBC > ESPN

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I wanted to stream to the ESPN app on my 360, because that's the only way for me to get HD, but it's a good 2 or 3 minutes behind live coverage.
