NBC will stick with dual announcers and analysts for the US Open

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.
