Overnight Ratings: CBS Has Best Sunday For Colonial Since '06; MLB Up On Fox

CBS drew a 2.2 overnight rating for the final round of the PGA Tour Crowne Plaza Invitational, which saw Chris Kirk hold off Jordan Spieth, Jason Bohn and Brandt Snedeker by one stroke. That figure is the best final round for the event at Colonial Country Club since '06, when Tim Herron beat Richard Johnson in a playoff (2.2 rating). Saturday's third round coverage drew a 1.3 overnight, marking the best Saturday rating for the event since '08.

NOTES: Fox drew a 1.5 overnight for the broadcast net's first MLB regional coverage of the season, up from a 1.2 overnight last year. Coverage on Saturday was highlighted by Dodgers-Cardinals....NBC drew a 0.8 for its second iteration of "Premier Boxing Champions" on Saturday afternoon. The net drew a 1.9 overnight for its first "PBC" telecast, which aired on a Saturday night in April.
