British Open

[Big Johnny69]

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'm at work and don't have access to a television. I want to watch it online, but TSN Broadband is not showing it. They are showing holes 16-18 on another link, but not the entire coverage.

[Paddy963]

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.

Boooo, that's no fun. I tried the BBC site, but I'm not local, so that won't work either. There has to be a feed somewhere out there.....

[DIbit]

It would be much more exciting with Tiger there!!!
Tiger would at least be in the mix.

Ya, the only way your going to get the BBC site to work would be to find a UK ip address and use it as a proxy.

If I even had any clue on how to do that, I'd give it a try. But I basically know how to turn on the PC and get on the Ottawa Golf site.

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.

[stevek]

LOL! I was thinking the same thing! Goosen's running around in short sleeves, and Mike's wearing a freakin snowsuit. Too much time in Utah, I guess.

If it's working for him, why not. There were a few other touques there yesterday morning, the worst of the storm and Weir gets the best score of the storm tees.

Indeed ... and it's not as if GT doesn't sell a good number of golf-branded toques - to Canadians no less.

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...

[Paddy963]

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.

[Shivas Irons]

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. Crazy

[rezadue]

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

I'm guessing Lots of MacGregor stuff considering he owns the company.

[mjf]

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

[jeffc]

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?

[Kilroy]

That's what I love about the British Open. Not always the usual suspects.

We see Paddy & Camillo quite a bit these days so for me it's a toss up between Norman and Duval. I'll go with Norman.

[sharkshooter]

Well, nobody shot in the 90s.

[Big Johnny69]

Well, nobody shot in the 90s.

You say that like you're disappointed.

[Kilroy]

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?)

[sharkshooter]

You say that like you're disappointed.

Not at all. I do it all the time.

Norman, however, leads by 2 after 54 holes!!!!!!

[3Jack]

I really hope Norman pulls it off. What a story it would be!

[Kilroy]

Norman is already the story of The Open this year. GO GREG!

[spackler]

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

[mjf]

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!"
