Gary Koch Doesn't Quite Declare Chambers Bay Better Than Most
/Dan Hicks asked for his assessment during a lull in Friday's U.S. Amateur telecast and the declaration?
"It's a wonderful match play golf course."
**As compelling as Chambers Bay is to watch, we also should see the conclusion of matches, no?
Shane Bacon takes issue with the Golf Channel's scheduling today, which showed up part of matches but not the conclusions. If The Tennis Channel did that, they'd be out of business in no time!
Okay, so the dilemma on Friday is how do you show both things live? Well, the Amateur is in Washington, so why not just have the quarterfinal matches a little later, and show them live? Trust me, people would much rather watch the butt-end of these matches than the start of them. It is pointless to spend hours watching the U.S. Amateur if you don't get to see what happens over the final three holes. On top of that, they are switching to the Barclays where Phil Mickelson has already completed his round and Tiger Woods only has about six holes left.
Were these matches scheduled to be completed by the end of the telecast window?
