ESPN Starting Two Hours Early With Split-Tee Open Start
/Thanks to this Tweet from Andy Hall at ESPN we know of the network's plans for what figures to be a long day at Royal Liverpool. Nice pivot by the Worldwide Leader to accommodate Saturday's unprecedented, forecast-driven two-tee threesomes planned start from 9 am to 11 am BST.
Due to 2-tee format, #ESPN coverage of @The_Open will begin 5 am ET Saturday, 2 hours early #TheOpen2014
