Everything You Wanted To Know About ESPN's 2-Round Coverage Of The U.S. Open

Squeezing 40 hours of coverage into a two-day period has to be near impossible given the fact there's only 48 hours to fit it in. This is why ESPN is starting things up tomorrow and Wednesday with two hour long Sports Center Specials. The rest of the coverage will come fast and furious from Torrey Pines Golf Club starting at 11am on Thursday and finishing up on early Monday morning with a highlight package of the Final Round.

Mike Tirico and Chris Berman will be your hosts and they'll deal with a cavalcade of reporters out on the course. Here's the breakdown:

Hosts: Mike Tirico and Chris Berman
Analysts: Curtis Strange, Andy North, Roger Maltbie Gary Koch
Hole Announcers: Bob Murphy, Mark Rolfing, Terry Gannon and Jimmy Roberts
On-course Reporters: Tom Rinaldi, Judy Rankin, Dottie Pepper and Bill Kratzert
Sports Center Hosts: Karl Ravech, Scott Van Pelt, and North

You can also prepare yourself for a ton of Rick Reilly over the weekend as well. He'll be providing commentary and essays much along the lines of the Belmont one he did this past weekend.
