johnny miller and i are about the same age and i took up golf about this time in the mid seventies. i have always read his instruction books and watched his videos. i never met him but he seems like a nice guy.

some golfers couldn't hole putts and the ball rolled about. not exactly a massacre lol

Gary player is a psychopath

I know nothing about miller or ballesteros, what i do know is when i staRted playing ngolf,i was given a set of slazenger johny miller blades,anyone who says dont start with blades is wrong,plenty of practise and you can play or not,modern golfers moan a lot i cant hit this or that club,it aint the club buddy its you. May the force be with you.

So basically the USGA got their ego hurt and decided to not choose a course that’s challenging, that tests every aspect of a players game, makes them create shots they’ve never practiced and weigh the pros and cons of every shot choice, and have the most creative and talented player win. No they just said well let’s just make the rough long and the greens fast. They sound like a bunch of pompous bitches who got their feelings hurt but we’re too lazy to create or find a more challenging course. So they took the easy and cheap way out to make them feel better about themselves.

Ben Hogan was left-handed -- the hand with which he would have had to sign autographs. When Hogan started playing golf, the only clubs available were right-handed. Thus he played right-handed.

Miller was pure gold ✨️ on the mic 🎤 👌

I was living close by and didn't go. What a loser i am 😂

Golfing perfection sums up this man. RIP Mr. Hogan.

Guy is not all there! Your not playing the 18th hole at the British Open with a 3 shot lead with your friends. Playing to be the first Frenchman to win a major and probably the last. Bigger storyline than he even thinks. Guys not all there (too much Champange)

An artist thru and thru.

0:35 Johnny Miller always had a great IQ for predicting how courses would play. His estimate of 290 for the winning score wasn’t too far off.

I never understood people bichin about a tough course. Every golfer plays the same, just play better than the rest

Ben was in his prime in 49, then the auto accident occurred.

I remember watching this. What a match it was 👌👍

What a great man he must have been god bless him .

Nice compilation. Thank you so much!

He was Ben Hogan, and there'll never be another one like him .

It must have been hell to win against all the legends back then, today their great but look at the improved equipment, the ball, the manicured course's, I grew up playing persimmon woods, forged irons from the 60'd and won many trophies in junior golf. I feel today that all makes it a little easier.

Smooth as Tennessee whiskey

this is all fine and well. but in teh final analysis hogan was an insufferable cad mind.

I enjoyed Miller's honesty as much as his golf prowess, and the way he attacked a golf course. Truly a legend.

His secret is "Stack & Tilt"!

7:31 Bingo Mr. Trevino

ben worked his ass off to find his swing

“that was a peach hun”

Had a chance to play this course when our college team stopped by there in 1985 to buy some US Open memorabilia while on our way back home. The person in the pro shop who I think was the Head Pro, invited our golf team to play, but our Coach said no, it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Poetry in motion.

No wonder he has a repetitive swing you guys showed the same swing about 150 times get real

set up was ridiculous and crazy

Sounded fat

Hogan was the only pro golfer that other pros watched at the driving range. Never forget, Palmer and Nicklaus at the Masters stopped their practice to go over and watch him. His swing was almost exactly like Bobby Jones' swing.

I remember this more than so many other moments in professional golf. He might not have won the trophy, but we’ll always remember him just the same. That seems like a win!

Hogan had such an efficient, compact swing designed for accuracy with no loss of distance. At the 1953 Open Championship at Carnoustie, which is one of the most brutal golf courses on Earth, Hogan hit every fairway and missed only two greens in regulation. That's over 72 holes of competition! Unbelievable ball striking in the crucible of major competition!

It is not the British Open it is called THE OPEN HOW COME YOUS AMERICANS CAN NOT FET THAT INTO YOUR THICK HEADS

Golf is hard. But we all play the same course in competition, the course doesn't single you or me out for a beating. Golf has always been a simulacra of life. It isn't always fair, how we deal with the hand we're dealt is what matters.

When you win a U.S. Open at +7, you’ve clearly demonstrated who the best player was for that Championship. That requires a level of shot making and concentration that truly identifies a champion. A stray shot on that setup could easily lead to double bogey or worse. The penalty for imprecision is hugely magnified. Even a quality shot could leave you struggling to make par. The U.S. Open is supposed to be a test of scrambling ability where par is an excellent score.

Played with Miller at Pebble beach and my Father and uncle... He was a class act....1995

The one thing I noticed in this video is he did not seem at all injured or suffering from any physical issues due to the accident.

If Hogan hadn't had that accident, been able to play the PGA and Open through the 40s and 50s, how many majors would he have won?

Hale Irwin -- one of the most underrated athletes of the past 50 years or so. He was a two-time all-conference defensive back and NCAA champion golfer at Colorado, then went on to win 20 PGA Tour events (including three U.S. Opens) and 45 Champions Tour events.

It’s fine to penalize golfers for bad shots… as long as you also reward them for good shots. The issue the USGA has is when they make a course so hard that it’s virtually impossible to hit good shots. Several times they’ve lost control of the Open golf course (not this one necessarily - Winged Foot is the toughest course in the country) and had to do things like water the green after every single group plays a hole. And like it or not, the USGA is at least somewhat in the entertainment business if they’re taking half a billion dollars from NBC to air their tournament for the next 6 years. Golfers making bogey after bogey and the winner struggling home at 7 over par is not entertaining.

During that ‘76 Open, Johnny Miller knew he was playing with someone very special. Many people don’t know this, but Seve was helping his father on their farm all week before the tournament. Seve’s record is awe inspiring and while he may not have had the number of majors as some of the other all time greats, he was, without a doubt, the most innately gifted golfers who ever lived. RIP, great man….hard to believe you are gone.

When he was healthy he would have been the best and the best for a little while and the 2000s would have been nice if he stayed healthy
