Underrated player. He’s my all time GOAT of Japan. Hideki Matsuyama won the masters but the avenues were easier 30 years after Jumbo. Hideki genuinely bows to Jumbo at every meeting they have. Jumbo won 90 damn tournaments which is twice as much as Tommy Nakajima or Isao Aoki …..Greg Norman said that Jumbo is one of the greatest of all time

These greens look like the grass in my backyard?

Great swing. Interesting how much his head moves.

awesome

Maybe you should have stayed home and played with yourself.

I was a better ball striker....lol is that why he won more events than you Miller...always about how good I was ..lol

Maybe he didn't like playing with Watson because he kicked his ass. j/k. I remember this tournament. Watson holed a very long putt on the 17th hole to pull within one (or was it during the playoff to win?). I remember all this because I was a big-time Watson fan. Johnny Miller's swing.....beautiful, but about as unfriendly for your back as I've ever seen!

Watson is a true gentleman and golf champion.

Watson!

The greens seem terrible back then...the Latino seems like a big driver. .

They should have just gathered up seaweed from the ocean and layed it on the sandy beach and called it greens and played there.

Watching producer Dan Curtis interview in Kolchak The Night Stalker TV movie The Night Strangler reference this as his baby - it got him a name as a producer

Who won?

Tiger would have made Miller's chip and left Watson talking to himself.

Flash in the pan?( someone commented) You’re kidding …he won 25 tour events! The kids today albeit talented….would never win that many in the past era….no way

Johnny Miller ruined his swing by lifting weights. Miller admitted this about a decade later, saying weights destroyed his flexibility.....Same thing happened to Tiger Woods.

For about three years or so Miller was awesome, even Jack was amazed, but he didnt quite have the gut wrenching drive of the immortals , Jack, Ben Tiger ,Tom, Armold, Lee and a few others

Didn't like either of these guys. Great players but both were kinda assholes.

😂may the best win. 😅

I believe Tom Watson was the greatest ball striker ever

Miller was caught between eras with putting…he crouched at it like the old era but at 6’2 he should have stood tall and done the pendulum….Miller would show up better today with modern putting knowledge and technology ……but Watson was totally awesome ❤

Watson smashed it in the hole.

Tom Weiskopf was a great player and man

ANNNNDDD???

Watson wins on the 3rd playoff hole draining a 40 footer for birdie, Miller misses a 12 footer to tie.

What was the point of this stupid video when it never showed the end. Absolute BS!!!👹

Love this swing. Proof you don't need to keep your head still.

Back when celebrities hosted PGA tournaments like Glenn Campbell, Andy Williams, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope.

I miss Johnny Miller as a broadcaster.

Johnny Miller was a wonderful ball striker. I was lucky enough to see him once at the Open. His iron play was incredible.

These greens are trash

The faiways today are better than these greens.

So heartbreaking that Tony Lema and his wife died in a plane crash, but it was nice of Shell to send them both on some wonderful golf boondoggle vacations.

My all-time favorite Shell's episode.

Lovely guy but flexible with truth is our Lee 😂

Those greens remind me of Augusta…. Fairways

Stylish move

Yes Alan, he certainly did. My Dad met knew or worked with every winner of the Open Championship from 1900 to his death in 2020

Johnny Miller wouldn't make a pimple on Jack Nicklaus or Tom Watson's bum cheek!! Plain and simple. Miller won two majors. Watson won eight. Miller won two. Jack won eighteen!! Both men made Miller want to turn to television long before he became an announcer. Gary Player was asked what separates the greatest players from the talented wannabes that dot the tour landscape. "It's the It Factor," Player explained. The indefinable gift of pulling that "one shot" off when others miss it repeatedly. Even long after Miller and Nicklaus retired, there is a great clip of Miller saying that a long putt off the green was impossible. He dared Jack to show him. And Jack showed him!! Nicklaus rolled the ball over the huge meandering mound and into the cup to the roar of the adoring crowd. People rave about Tigers many shots in tournaments to win. This shot by Jack topped them all. ON DEMAND!! While Miller at his peak was a wonderful player, he was a comparative "flash in the pan." I literally can't recall a time when Miller ever beat Jack head to head. Even Miller's celebrated ball striking and iron play could hardly be compared to the greatest shotmaker of them all. The incomparable Ben Hogan. Hogan missed fewer greens in a month than Miller missed in a single round. Anyone trying to place Miller in that class of Player needs to pump the brakes. Numbers don't lie. Jack and Tom turned Johnny into an historical footnote.

The best golfer i ever played with used to say " Miss it high , you'll make it "

What a time, what a country. L.A. in 1982 may have been peak America

During Ben Hogan's anonymity, he used to complain to Valerie at night, after each day's competition, that he just could not make any putt as that was keep him from winning. Valerie got tired of hearing his complaining & barbed him with a comeback, "then why don't you hit the ball closer to the hole so you don't have to make long putts." That was his epiphany. From then on, he started implementing backspin to stop the ball near the cup. Then he started winning. Behind every great man there is a .....

Miller was the better player from 1973-1976 and then he didn’t win for 3 years. He made a comeback from 1980-1983 but he wasn’t as good as previously. Watson was at his peak 1977-1984.

What is the point of this. If it's to piss off the viewer you hit the bullseye. If I see the name Larry Baush on a video in the future I will never click on it. First and last time viewer on this channel. What a joke!

Millers short game wasn't the best, in his words

Drive for show and putt for dough. In his prime Tom Watson was the best up & down player on tour and one hell of a clutch putter. It would have been very discouraging to go one-on-one against him in a playoff. Then one day it happened, he missed a few short putts, and his run was over. It was amazing & sad to see...He lost the British Open as a Senior with a bad wedge on the 18th and not getting up & down to win. I was pulling for him to do it one more time, it was tough to watch. The golf gods giveth and the golf gods taketh away.

Somewhere around 1976 Johnny Miller`s putting left him. His natural talent was always his ball striking. You just can`t win at that level without solid putting.

Nobody running around screaming is so refreshing.

Enjoyed it. A true screw job. Thanks so much .

Both players would have been better without those reverse C finishes. Watson said in his "Lessons of a Lifetime" series that this definitely hurt his ball-striking. That was the style then though.
