150th Open...at the Old Course in Scotland...home of golf...last major of the year.

With the 5 hour difference the tee times Thursday morning over there start at 1:30 AM [our time].

TV coverage:
Thursday and Friday   USA  4:00AM to 3:00PM...our time
Saturday 5-7 AM USA   7-3 NBC
Sunday 4-7 AM USA      7-2 NBC

They have had good weather and apparently that will be the case all 4 days.  Significant wind.
The commentators say the course is playing fast...bouncy and hard...fairways and greens.
Due to those conditions it is playing  short....but difficult... since the players will have trouble judging the direction and distance after
the ball lands.

Note: Tiger Wood is playing...course is generally flat so walking shouldn't be a big issue.
He seemed reasonably optimistic about his chances in his presser.

Should be entertaining TV with all the history and tradition surrounding the event and the quirkiness of the course...devilish
pot bunkers to start with.
