A Major and a Half

The predominant, of route, is the Senior Open Championship at Turnberry. Tom Watson is gambling. Those facts by myself need to be sufficient to get you to watch!

Here within the States, the printed is on ESPN2 from midday ET until 2pm ET. If you go to either the Champions Tour site's TV web page or the European Tour web site's TV web page (they're the identical web page), you can discover a list of times for quite a few international locations... And neither lists america times, so I do not know how a lot help it will likely be. It shows the Australia listings via default, so you'll must select your u . S . A . From the list.

In both case, right here's the live leaderboard. Watson is gambling in a threesome with Greg Norman and Roger Chapman (the English participant who is gained two majors to date this year). Russ Cochran is the protecting champion.

The "half fundamental" is the Evian Masters, so one can be a main on the LPGA starting subsequent 12 months. I nonetheless assume that move become initially conceived as part of a plan to make certain there could nevertheless be 4 majors ought to Kraft Nabisco now not renew their settlement beyond 2014. (Whan originally said the tournament could pass on regardless, even though it did not continue to be a prime.) While the situation appears to have modified -- KNC's new proprietors appear to be warming to the tournament's fee, and other "suitors" have made it clear that they would be involved if KNC wasn't -- I suspect the opportunity "5 majors" plan turned into additionally advanced as an expansion of the LPGA's new "world leader" fame.

If you haven't examine any of my beyond posts approximately the concept, I'm guessing the LPGA can have the Kraft Nabisco and the U.S. Women's Open in North America, the LET-co-subsidized Women's Open Championship and Evian Masters in Europe, after which pass a co-backed LPGA/LET Championship around to one-of-a-kind continents. That might give them a first-rate that might be performed in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and -- if the recognition of the sport continues increasing -- South America and Africa.

Anyway, the 2012 not-a-major-quite-yet Evian Masters will be broadcast-delayed here in the States until 6:30pm ET through 8:30pm ET. Tony Jesselli has already posted a preview over at Mostly Harmless , so I'm just linking you to that article. And, if you want to know how the scoring goes before the broadcast airs late in the day, the LPGA live leaderboard is here. Ai Miyazato is the defending champ.
