U.S. Open golf TV schedule 2013 includes live coverage from Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa., with the first two rounds on ESPN/NBC and the third and final rounds on NBC.
Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa., on the outskirts of Philadelphia, is the site of golf’s second major of the year, the U.S. Open. At 6,996 yards, it’s the shortest U.S. Open since 2004, and should give plenty of birdie opportunities for Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Luke Donald, Brandt Snedeker, Louis Oosthuizen and Masters champion Adam Scott. Webb Simpson held off Graeme McDowell to win his first career major at last year’s U.S. Open. ESPN and NBC air the tournament through Sunday.
[UPDATE: From ESPN: ESPN’s live telecast of the second round of the U.S. Open Championship on Friday, June 14, will begin at 8:30 a.m., a half-hour earlier than originally scheduled. In addition, the 7 a.m. edition of SportsCenter will include numerous live look-ins to Merion Golf Club. ESPN made the schedule adjustments to give viewers the opportunity to see more from the round of the group including World No. 1 Tiger Woods, Masters champion Adam Scott and 2011 U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy, which tees off at 7:44 a.m. Friday.]
