ESPN will provide coverage of the of 4th Round of 2009 U.S. Open Championship from Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, N.Y., Monday, from 9-11:30 a.m., ET. If necessary, ESPN will also provide coverage of a playoff, tentatively from 1:30- 3:30 p.m., ET.
NBC will take the coverage from 11:30 a.m., ET until the end of the tournament, unless there is a playoff, then they will take the the coverage of the playoff after the second hour of the playoff.
NBC and ESPN will be covering the US Open this year with nine hours of HD coverage on Thursday and Friday. On Saturday NBC will have exclusive coverage on the weekend with six hours on Saturday and five and a half hours on Sunday. With at least 29 and a half hours of coverage it will still be second to last year’s US open as far as total HD coverage (unless it goes into another 18 hole playoff).
