I thought the coverage was pretty bad, but tried to recognize any positives. Fox has always been progressive when it comes to graphics. I thought the ball tracker off the tee box was cool, but the production was bad, in that they never switched angles fast enough to get the end of the shot. The exact distances from the ball to the hole whether in the fairway or on the green were pretty nifty as well.
This US Open was going to look awful on any network, and I was glad to not have to deal with Johnny Miller (just a matter of preference) but Greg Norman was abysmal. He is a ridiculous, self-absorbed shill and the rest of the team was pretty dreadful too. Buck was surprisingly tolerable to me, mainly because he didn't talk that much.
