NBC won't be happy if Kaymer runs away with the Open bad drama you know.
NBC lost the Open and other USGA events after 20 years to FOX Sports. Joe Buck and Greg Norman will be lead announcers.
since this is NBC's final season you may want to stick around to watch the networks sign off today.

As for play , the USGA , et al wanted it to be more difficult hence more drama to attract viewers. Clearly broadcaster and the golf industry are concerned about attracting people to the sport. "The "while I am young"commercials continues in order to make the game faster and blunt one of the prime complaints by consumers.

I believe in ready golf but gosh I tired of the wham bam thank you mam attitude of pushing people off the course nmd I tired of dumbing down the game

P.S. I thought Pinehurst 2 played very hard and didn't much like the native rough or stuff
