On here. Glad NBC is showing it, I'm sure they'd much rather show America's Got Talent but the USGA would probably rip them a new one (and take away all their US Opens) if they did that.

Wait it's on now. My guess is that my local market refused to sacrifice their crappy local and national news to show the coverage, so now it's playing but it's ****ing delayed, which is mega annoying. Seo is now on 15 but on my broadcast she's putting on 12.

Since NBC owns Golf Channel I fully expected them to utilize that when they came back so it didn't encroach on prime time but they haven't (yet).

DOUBLE RAINBOW

I wouldn't mind me a little Seo action.

=/

BTW, mad ups to the NBC crew. They were on at 7AM local time and they're still on past 7PM local time, after being monkeyed with yesterday as well. The on-course reporters and cameramen must be particularly gassed.

SPOILER ALERT FOR TUQ

Spoiler:

Stone cold thug status for hitting that shot with the ****ing chime in the middle of your backswing.

Note to golfers (or caddies): it's a clock that goes off every 15 minutes. Set your watches and play accordingly.

**cwicemvp12** · 07-10-2011, 09:55 PM

That's pretty dumb imo. Just turn it off while the players are on the course.

Yep. The heart of a killer right there.

I'm a little bummed that I missed a decent chunk of the third round - when I left the Miyazatos were still in control - but getting 2.5 hours of prime time bonus coverage was pretty sweet.

If Stanford could have blown the horn after 9 I think she'd have a great chance to win. Just lost it there after the turn.

It will take something seriously special for anyone other than Ryu to have a chance to take this away from Seo.

Spoiler:

I think Seo closed it well after the scare on 17. I really enjoy watching her swing

I think Ryu has a shot to force a play off. It's very unfortunate for Stanford but her swing and her mental game really fell apart.

I'm caught up, heh. My local station ran exactly an hour behind. Still can't imagine that NBC's first choice was women's golf in prime time but evidently that First Tee event wasn't getting bumped.

At least there is some chance at drama. Ryu mostly but at least there will be a reason to watch.

did it finish?

Pelican86 · 07-11-2011, 12:54 AM

The leader got done with her round, but there's a few people with a couple holes to go, some who could catch her. ESPN2 tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET.

Also, I'm wondering if they could've bumped it to GC if they'd wanted to or if that wouldn't have been possible with ESPN having the cable coverage of the event. I'm thinking ESPN might have had veto power or first dibs or something. And I think it's more likely that the USGA had the power to tell NBC to keep it on NBC until the close of play.
