Will Lefty lock up another major or is Tiger ready to pounce? TSN has live coverage of every round as the stars of the golf world head to Pebble Beach Golf Links for the 110th U.S. OPEN beginning Thursday, June 17 at 1 p.m. ET. Coverage on TSN begins with the U.S. OPEN: PREVIEW SHOW tomorrow at 2 p.m. ET (see complete broadcast schedule below).
TSN.ca gets into the swing of the U.S. OPEN with exclusive live streaming of select holes from the first two rounds of this year’s event. Canada’s leading sports website gives fans the opportunity to watch even more action from Pebble Beach with exclusive live streaming coverage that is different from the television broadcast.
Resident golf expert Bob Weeks is at Pebble Beach filing daily reports for SPORTSCENTRE all week as he follows the biggest stories and hottest topics from the U.S. OPEN. SPORTSCENTRE will also have all the latest news and highlights from every round of the tournament once play gets underway on Thursday.
TSN gets golf fans ready for the U.S. OPEN with a special broadcast of TIN CUP starring Kevin Costner and Rene Russo on Wednesday (June 16) at 8 p.m. ET. The film follows golf pro Roy McAvoy (Costner) as he takes an improbable run at the U.S. OPEN title.
The 110th U.S. OPEN marks the fifth time that Pebble Beach has hosted the prestigious event and the first time since 2000. There are three Canadians in the field at this year’s event including Mike Weir, Stephen Ames and Regina’s Kent Eger playing in his first U.S. OPEN. The last time the U.S. OPEN took place at Pebble Beach, Tiger Woods set the record for the largest margin of victory at a major tournament at 15 strokes. While Woods looks to regain his form, Phil Mickelson has the chance to become just the sixth player in PGA history to win both THE MASTERS and the U.S. OPEN in the same year – Mickelson has finished in second place at the U.S. OPEN a record five times.
