Oakmont, without. – Johnny Miller wanted to win with an obstacle.
Or even two.
“I was more of a guy I didn’t like to be close,” he said. “… I wanted to win it – when I won the open Phoenix with 14 strokes, I liked it. If that ball is going into the hole, I will fill it until the round is over if I can. None of these decorated things to hit away from the target.
“I don’t know, everyone does it different. But that’s the way I thought.”
Thinking also made a sense of empathy on Saturday morning as mills AND Jack nicklaus turned to We open AND Oakmont country clubThe houses of their two biggest victories-Nicklaus won his first first in Open 1962 in Oakmont; Miller shot a record then 63 in the last round to win the 1973 Oakmont Open. However, another Miller’s work began Margin’s winning speech:
Transmission. From 1990 to 2019, he worked as the main NBC Golf analyst, but, no, he said, he did not want to stay on TV longer.
“This was my 50th year in Golf when I reached 29 years with NBC,” Miller said. “It looked like a nice time to leave. I still had my wisdom for me and had my way of doing things.
“When I played on the east coast in particular, they would go,” Hey, Johnny, we love you, we continue to say it as it is.
Over time, he became synonymous with a word, though:
Drowning. It was not surprising, then that Miller said he himself liked it to be good forward, as the moment could reach someone.
“If a duck boy hits him in the last hole and has not tied a ball in the last month, he may be drowning,” Miller said. “I was the first guy to use that word, which is not a very beautiful word. But I thought golf’s greatness was the drowning factor. I just think this is golf greatness is to be able to handle the pressure.
“If you could handle the pressure – Jack liked to hang around the first three days and then feel like on the last day he had a great advantage. He believed in himself, and not only believed in himself, he could produce in that last round and take Putt or blow.”

There were more analysis Saturday morning.
Both players were asked what they admire for each other’s games, which attracted the following answers:
Said Nicklaus Miller: “He is not a normal guy, this guy. He simply believes in what he can do, and he had the length and he had the high ball and no one could hit a 1-Hekuri like him. Trust who deserves to win? This deserved feeling is a great deal of athletics.
“If you feel – like Scottie SchefflerHe believes he works more in his game than anyone else, and there is something about it. Ben HoganNo one hit more balls than Ben. This sense of merit is a large part of being successful. “
Said Nicklaus from Miller: “Well, Johnny Miller is definitely a really good player. I loved his shaky bow. I loved the way he played. I loved him – Johnny was a strict player, and once he got his roll, get out of the way because he did a lot of blows.
“Johnny kept that kind – I think when you have it going, a little by a swashbuckling attitude and in the broadcast, too.”
Here, Miller laughed.
Said Nicklaus: “He played the way it was and I think he said it when it was in the air. I think you admire a guy for him, sometimes he’ll get a little from a hit for sometimes what he said, but for the most part he thought. I couldn’t criticize someone who thought they thought.
