SBD: Buck & Norman To Helm Fox's U.S. Open Telecast

John Ourand of Sports Business Daily reports.

Neither has had a regular announce job in golf, though I'd be surprised if anyone is too worried about Buck's chances of doing anything but a stellar job. He's reportedly a low single-digit golfer and adapts to all sports he covers for Fox. Unfortunately, he's friends with USGA President Tom O'Toole so that'll get a little nauseating in year one, but he beyond that we'll be spared.

Now, the Shark...that's another story.

Norman has known of Fox's interest in him from early on, so early Fox might not have even had the contract. He will be glib and brings a big name, but having not won a USGA event or had ties to the U.S. Open like Johnny Miller, will he have the same cache?
