U.S. Senior Open tee times, how to watch Thursday's first round

[ASFN Admin]

The 46th U.S. Senior Open tees off July 2 from scorching-hot Scioto Country Club, where temperatures are expected to top 95 degrees through the week. The field of 156 golfers could drop by a few – or a lot – if the heat has its way. Otherwise, it's full-go at the Upper Arlington course where Jack Nicklaus learned to play the game.

Two of the more interesting pairings are defending U.S. Senior Open winner Padraig Harrington going out with Justin Leonard and amateur Michael McCoy, and former Masters winners Vijay Singh, Angel Cabrera and Mike Weir teeing it up together.
