ESPN Draws Its Best Open Saturday Rating Yet

From ESPN:

ESPN’s live telecast of The Open Championship from 9 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 21, earned the network’s highest metered market (overnight) rating since it started televising all four days of the championship in 2010.
 
The 3.0 rating was up 58 percent from the 1.9 rating ESPN earned for the same timeslot for last year’s Open Championship. ESPN’s early-morning (7-9 a.m.) coverage on Saturday earned a 1.2 overnight rating, up 9 percent from last year’s 1.1.
