Does Johnny Miller wish he stayed in TV longer? You've got to see his phenomenal answer
Does Johnny Miller wish he stayed in TV longer? You've got to see his phenomenal answer OAKMONT, Pa. — As great as a golfer as Johnny Miller was in his day, winner of two majors and 25 wins, he was an even better TV personality and golf announcer for NBC for 29 years. I once asked him in a Golfweek Q&A what he thought of NBC reacquiring the U.S. Open broadcast rights and he gave this response: "If I had known that, I might have gone another year," he said. It revealed how much he loved broadcasting the U.S. Open, the tournament he won at Oakmont in 1973 with a final-round 63. On Saturday, during a news conference with Miller and Jack Nicklaus, who won it here in 1962, I asked Johnny another TV question and it produced this fantastic response: "Do I wish I kept announcing? That was my 50th year in golf when I got to 29 years with NBC. It seemed like a nice time to leave. I still had my wits about me and had my own way of doing things. When I played on the East Coast especially, they'd go, 'Hey, Johnny, we love you, keep telling it like it is.' What people liked about my announcing was that I just said what I'd say to my best friend in my own house and talking to the TV," he said. "If a guy duck hooks it on the last hole and hasn't hooked a ball in the last month, he might be choking. I was the first guy to use that word, which is not a very nice word. "But I thought the greatness of golf was the choke factor. I just still think that that's the greatness of golf is to be able to handle pressure. If you can handle pressure — Jack liked to hang around the first three days and then just feel like on the last day he had a huge advantage. He believed in himself, and not only believed in himself, he could produce on that last round and handle the putt or the shot. "I was more of a guy that didn't like it to be close. He liked it to be close. I wanted to win it by — when I won the Phoenix Open by 14 shots, I liked it. If that ball is going in the hole, I'm going to fill it up until the round is over if I can. None of this fancy stuff about hitting away from the target. I wanted to have the thrill of going for knocking down pins out of the green. That was my fun. I liked to drive fast and hit hard with the driver and that kind of stuff. "I don't know, everybody does it differently. But that's just the way I thought." I was looking for an answer about TV, which he addressed, but he gave so much more — talking about the 'choke factor' was classic Johnny — including this line that may sum up Miller better than anything that has been written: "I wanted to have the thrill of going for knocking down pins out of the green. That was my fun. I liked to drive fast and hit hard with the driver and that kind of stuff." Yes, he did and golf was better for it.
