Does anyone know where to watch this online? Tried TSN, and although it says the Open is now playing, all I get is highlights.

Geoff, its on TSN.Not sure what channel it is for you but,Greg Norman is top of the board right now.Just finished at 18 and the rain is comming down.Conditions are going to get worst for the rest of the field.Mike is tied in 2nd with Camillo,Goosen,and a few more.Not bad for an old dude.I hope Norman wins it,but its too early to predict.He is putting like a champion.

I don't think they are allowed to show the entire broadcast online like they were for the US Open. I think they're online capabilities are similar to the Masters, they can only show a few holes.

TSN.ca is only providing coverage of holes 16, 17, and 18. I had it on all day at work yesterday, and will do so again today... It's nice to see all the groups come through, regardless of score. The commentators are funny too... they got a little loopy during their 9th straight hour of broadcasting yesterday.

I think the PGA Tour site also has live coverage, but you need a US IP address to use it. I have no idea how to configure that, and I'm not sure I would want to do it on my work computer anyway.
My productivity has already gone waaay down thanks to Ottawa Golf. If I start watching the Open on my computer, someone might try to figure out just exactly what it is I do here. I think its best if we don't go down that road...

Using a proxy is definitely something I would not recommend you do at work. If done incorrectly with just some random ip address you leave your computer open to attack. I think that if something were to happen and it was determined that it was your fault because you were trying to watch golf, you'd be looking for a new job mighty quick.

Another great round by Norman today, I really think he could be in the mix on Sunday. Looks like he's in the 'happy newlywed' headspace right now.
How about Camillo going 76 - 65. CrazyAl Gore didn't invent the internet, but he did invent global warming.

Anyone know what Greg Normanhas in the bag this week? It looks like he had a G10 driver, but what else?

Well... Looks like I can say this for at least one more day so here goes: "GO GREG NORMAN!"

so who's the biggest surprise?
Greg Norman - leading right now at age 53 and barely even playing golf anymore
David Duval - T2 and -2 today (hope i didn't jinx him)
Paddy Harrington - 50/50 to even play and he shoots 68 today for T5
Villegas - shooting an unheard of 65 today to sit in 2nd?I got a fever. And the only prescription is more golf equipment.

John Daly shot 89 today. He came in dead last at +29 I think. They said he was in a lot of pain in a list of places including wrist, neck & back. He looked like he's had better days.
He finished his round. (are you listening Sandy?)Life dinnae come wit gimmies so yuv got nae chance o' gitt'n any from me.

The golf gods have been extraordinarily cruel to Norman. A win tomorrow would be sweet payback and I'd love to see it happen.

I just finished watching my PVR'ed coverage of the Open. UNBELIEVABLE! I had fully prepared myself for the Shark to drop out of the lead and perhaps still have a chance to win tomorrow but... a two stroke lead? WOW!
I believe he can do it. He's got plenty of length off the tee and his short game seems to be firing on all cylinders. I will admit though, he got some pretty decent breaks with where his tee shots ended up when he missed the fairway. If he keeps pulling out driver, which I'm sure he will, he'll need to continue getting some luck.
I took a look at a couple of betting sites. It looks like, even though Norman has a 2 shot lead, the odds makers think Harrington is the man to beat. We'll see.
Oh yeah... I guess I have one more opportunity to say it: "GO GREG NORMAN!"
