Will Thursday's round be replayed later in the day? I completely forgot to set my DVR.
As for Padraig, I'm a big fan of his, but I'm not sure he'll three-peat. He hasn't been playing to his potential as of late. But we'll see.

TNT has it on from 7am-3pm est today according to my DirecTV guide.
Going off Paddy's recent form I wouldn't expect to see him even contend, but he's not far off today. The leaderboard is stacked with ball strikers and bombers with Mr Woods shooting a shaky round.
Boy do I hope to see some real Open weather this weekend.

My TV Box says TNT will be showing it from 4am to 4 pm HST. so thats 10am-10pm EST. So i guess they're showing a repeat of round 1 immediate following their initial coverage.
