NBC Sports has been without a permanent analyst in the 18th tower all year

, and that's not going to change for the U.S. Open. The network announced its commentary team Monday: Dan Hicks and Mike Tirico will share play-by-play duties with an analyst assigned to each. The four-wide booth will have Hicks calling even-numbered holes with Brandel Chamblee and Tirico calling the odd-numbered holes with Brad Faxon. NBC also said Roger Maltbie would return as an on-course reporter, while Gary Koch would be a booth analyst alongside Steve Sands during early coverage.

Roy said having twice the number in booth has not been a challenge because he feels it works well to have them take odd- and even-numbered holes. 'What's been a little bit of a challenge for me is a new analyst week after week, because there's a lot to teach them when they're in this role for the first time. The good news is because we have the Olympics, we have many new analysts for these sports and I've been used to tutoring them.
