OAKMONT, Pa. — It wasn’t the kind of round that would impress, say, Johnny Miller, who once shot 63 around this place and has been forever associated with that score as he was the first player to accomplish it in a major championship. (Read about it in the SI Vault.)
Miller, who won the 1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont has famously—or infamously—been known to talk about that day without reservation. Although he is retired from a long and successful career in the broadcast booth, the golf Hall of Famer and two-time major winner did reunite for a time Friday on the NBC airways, and undoubtedly the subject was broached.
