SAN DIEGO (AP) Paul Azinger has been selected as the lead golf analyst for Fox Sports as it enters the second year of televising the U.S. Open and other USGA championships.
Fox confirmed Wednesday that Azinger is replacing Greg Norman.
Fox signed a 12-year deal with the USGA that started last year, and the first big test was the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay. Among the criticism of the broadcast was Norman going flat during the decisive moment when Dustin Johnson three-putted from 12 feet on the last hole for Jordan Spieth to win his second straight major.

Azinger is a former PGA champion - he beat Norman, of all people, in a playoff at Inverness in 1993. He led the Americans to a rare Ryder Cup victory at Valhalla in 2008.
