TNT had coverage of the opening two rounds. They also overdid the Van de Velde story also(among other things).
Without digital cable the tournament was pretty much unwatchable in the US. Set the recorder, and after recording a few hours I was able to sit down and watch the tournament in an enjoyable fashion. Used the FF button to bypass the plethora of commercials and highlights.
I bet SuperSport did a far better job broadcasting the tournament. Far fewer commercials, and breaks.
Just a great tournament to watch. Great course, great drama, nasty weather, and an abundance of strategies for those tough holes. Congrats again to Padraig on winning the most prestigious golf tournament in the world. And yeah it was a nail biter, I was rooting against Sergio from the first day.
