If you have been driving around the Lehigh Valley over the last couple weeks, you probably noticed a sudden surge in the billboards promoting the 42nd US Senior Open Championship being held at Saucon Valley Country Club<\/a><\/strong> this June.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defending champion is someone who was born in our Delaware Valley viewing area – Jim Furyk<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among his most impressive career accomplishments: he is one of just eight golfers EVER to win both a U. S. Open<\/a> <\/strong>title and a U. S. Senior Open championship<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also still boasts the tour record with a score of 58 set back in 2016 at the Travelers Championship<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

I had the chance to meet Jim last week as he stopped by the Saucon Valley Country Club<\/a><\/strong> to get an early bird\u2019s look at the course ahead of next month\u2019s U. S. Senior Championship in Bethlehem.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can see our interview with Jim on this week\u2019s \u201cATVN SportsTalk<\/strong><\/a>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to our interview with Furyk, tune in this Thursday at 7pm as ATVN\u2019s Scott Barr joins me to recap last week\u2019s Eastern Pennsylvania Conference and Colonial League baseball playoffs action.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you tune in, you\u2019ll know that we had some very entertaining ball games!<\/span><\/p>\n

Hats off to our crew for bringing you all the action, but especially the championship day of baseball.\u00a0 Their day started last Thursday morning and we first came on the air at 3:30pm, but because of rain earlier in the day and delays in repairing the fields, the first pitch of our first game didn\u2019t start until 4:24 pm and I signed off the air at 11:33pm (the second game went 10 innings!).<\/span><\/p>\n

Between curfew issues, stadium lights potentially turning off, great plays and interesting in-game decisions, we will have PLENTY to discuss on Thursday\u2019s show.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also be looking ahead to next week\u2019s District XI postseason coverage which will be live on the Astound Broadband TV Network<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Make sure you bookmark our website for the latest programming information on our schedule for next week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to chime in with a question or comment during our live show or suggestions of which teams we should try to focus on this summer by emailing us<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, here\u2019s our next installment of the best plays from our ATVN sports broadcast season to date:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
