    Look, broadcasting the World Cup in 3D was impressive, but since most of us here are still HDTV-only, it's much more likely that you'll check out some action of The Open Championship this weekend, presented in HD for the first time ever. Just as promised, the entire affair is in HD (some AVSForum posters say they can still detect a few SD cameras in use, so beware) this year with all four rounds on ESPN (with HD available on ESPN networks in Latin America as well, plus The Open Highlights on ESPN UK which is apparently the only highlights show of the championship in the UK that is in high definition) and ESPN3. Check the press release after the break for the rest of the schedule and details, we'll be updating our list of events still in SD -- with this and the WNBA draft gone, seriously, Formula 1, IT'S JUST YOU LEFT NOW - FIX IT.
