This makes a lot of sense.

Fox Sports already has offered Greg Norman, 58, the lead analyst’s job for its U.S. Open coverage.

Tim Rosaforte at Golfdigest.com reports that fellow Australian, David Hill of Fox, has to reached out to Norman.

“David Hill has reached out to me, we have spoken and yes, they have offered me the job,” Norman confirmed in an email sent from his home in Florida. “I am flattered to have been asked and I look forward to having discussions with my good friend (Hill) in the very near future.”

It would seem to be an ideal fit for Fox. The two-time major winner and Hall of Famer would has the resume required to sit in the 18th tower of a big event. He also isn’t shy about voicing his opinions on anything and everything. And if a player is choking down the stretch, well….

The arrangement also would work out perfectly for Norman, who likely isn’t interested in taking on a full schedule. Whether he would do the other USGA events that Fox will carry (U.S. Women’s Open, U.S. Senior, U.S. Amateur, among others) remains to be seen. However, this is 99 percent about the U.S. Open for Fox.

Landing Norman would be a good first move.
