I love Johnny Miller. He was such an awesome analyst on TV all those years and really was a great player too. This was indeed a historic round, one of the best ever given the circumstances for sure.

@jamesfraley2715 Жыл бұрын

Agreed, players didn't always like him, but as a fan, I appreciated that he always called them out if he felt they deserved it - and, he was usually spot on with his analysis.

He was easily the worst golf broadcaster in history. Everything was about him.

Johnny had a swagger when playing golf but this video shows his humility several times as he becomes emotional all these years later. And it still is one the greatest rounds of golf ever player. Well done, Johnny.

That 63 is still the greatest round in the history of golf.

Probably is, as it was oakmount on Sunday....any major 63 is wow but last day at oakmount is something else

He has always conducted himself in an exemplary manner. He is a complete gentleman

One of the greatest swings of all time but IMO the greatest golf announcer of all time. He not only had great knowledge of the game but his points were dead on and he always had such great golf tips and advice for amateur players of all levels. I loved when he announced golf.

Miss Johnny's "tell it like it is" commentary . When I played Oakmont 12 years ago, Johnny's amazing feat was on my mind. In the Clubhouse a giant version of the scorecard graces the wall in one of the alcoves. Probably the greatest round of tournament golf ever played.

Johnny Miller is the consummate analyst even of his own game, yet he always tips his hat to something beyond human understanding, the magic or divine, that elevates sports at the highest level. He knows its true, and it makes us all a little sentimental. Thanks for all the years Johnny.

Johnny freely admits that 63 is just about the most he could've shot and that he gagged all over himself on a few of the putts. The Desert Fox in 73 and 74 was as good as anyone who has ever played the game. What he did that Sunday at Oakmont may never be equaled. I sure do miss his commentary.

I love the my US open series so much and it will be fun for me to post my recollections. I was a sophomore in college when he won playing baseball and anything to keep me from going to class. I did not know much about golf, but I went to summer school before my senior year just to stay on campus. We took up golf and we were hooked. It was dirt courses and dirt cheap, which as college guys we didn’t always pay for. I love Johnny Miller and U.S. Open golf so I want to have fun with this. More to follow.

How grateful I am/was to experience the Johnny Miller effect all these years. Current broadcasting teams dismally lack the spine necessary to report on the televised game. Colt Knost has potential and may develop in time to step into those giant shoes of Miller’s. As I watch DVR’ed golf today, I’m listening to something else. There’s nothing significant or memorable about commentary put out by Pepper, Nobilo, Begay, etc., just rehearsed cliche after cliche, perpetual patronizing for poor play leaves the audience in a stupor when it’s over. Thank you Johnny for all your contributions, I love you too.

I can't believe this guy still gets emotional after all these years. I guess I'll never understand. However, Johnny was great on the course and as a commentator.

@richlewis1879 Жыл бұрын

You can't understand how he could get emotional? It's considered in the top couple rounds of all time. If not the best.

I think the emotion is more about realizing later in life that his entire life was set on a course by divine help at a particular moment. Not that he won the U.S. Open, but that his life and family were altered positively through listening to a still small voice. (1Kings 19:12)

That's because you've never won the U.S.Open. His bags were packed and in the lobby but he came through the field with a last round of 63. Even I get emotional just watching this and getting nostalgic. One of the greatest rounds of all time, and there's been a few.

@garyroberts3859 Жыл бұрын

I had a 63 and I was only 12 years old…..alas…it was only 9 holes. But 8 years later at my club I shot 65, 5 under playing off 2. But I’ll never forget my 63.

@@Hillbillykaren like you’d know, I have no reason to lie, I can add a 69 at Keysborough golf club, 1967, par 73 in those days. I’d already had a 71 at Patterson River that morning, 2 under.
