Recommended Final Round Listening

Opengolf.com features an excellent radio broadcast of the event and can be listened to all over the world (many Americans submitted questions for the team to answer during lulls in play.)

If you are looking for an alternative to television, you'll get some stellar coverage here. For eight pounds I purchased the FM radio's sold at the course and had a joy listening to the crew yesterday while out on the Old Course. One highlight: a great chat between Tiger and Stevie about what shot to hit into a green. They never once talked over it. Miracles to happen.

I agree- this radio broadcast (I get it on XM) is tremendous. Turn off your TV volume and listen tothis broadcast. So much better than PGATour Radio- "the putter goes back, back, Etc".

Thank you for that info, I found myself turning off the ESPN volume to just watch the golf. It was better in silence than listen to all the commentary by the "experts". Why can't we just get a play by play announcer to rule the telecast, it isn't the commentator's fault-it is the producers who think we want all the criticism and interpretation for every shot.
Is there a Jack Whitaker out there who can just make the telecast a joy to watch and experience?.....Dig deep my friends, you are losing your way with the over analysis of sport.
