Faldo and Nobilo Tackle Turnberry today on

Live From the Open Championship

ORLANDO, Fla., July 18 – Today’s Live From the Open Championship news coverage (2:30-4 p.m. ET; 7-9 p.m. ET) will go inside the ropes to recap the third round of play at Turnberry, featuring Nick Faldo re-creating exact shots on the course and GOLF CHANEL analyst Frank Nobilo, in addition to his expert analysis, taking viewers inside the minds of players as they approach the first tee box and what he misses about playing in the Open Championship.

Faldo and Nobilo will join GOLF CHANNEL’s team of analysts and reporters – Steve Sands and Tom Abbott from Turnberry and Kelly Tilghman, Kraig Kann, Rich Lerner, Todd Lewis, Peter Oosterhuis, Brandel Chamblee and Charlie Rymer from its network studios in Orlando – to break down the third round of the Open Championship and prepare viewers for Sunday’s final round. Alex Miceli and GOLF CHANNEL insider Tim Rosaforte will join the show for additional insight, and in his essay, Lerner wonders if “Old” Tom Watson is channeling the spirit of Old Tom Morris in Watson’s bid to make history.

Live From the Open Championship also will air in prime time tonight from 7-9 p.m. ET and re-air throughout the evening.

I hope the final round is highly rated because what a great story it would be for the 59 year old Watson to win tomorrow.
