The 2017 British Open tees off super-early — or super-late, depending on how/where you look at it.
Round 1 of The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England, tees off at 1:35 a.m. ET in the U.S., so it will be either very early Thursday morning on the east coast or very late Wednesday night on the west coast, or somewhere in between if you're somewhere in between.
