Nicklaus and Miller reminisce about their US Open victories at Oakmont
June 14, 2025
Jack Nicklaus and Johnny Miller are back at Oakmont and filled with great memories. And they say one thing that hasn’t changed is that putting is key to winning a U.S. Open at Oakmont. Nicklaus says that’s what he told players in the locker room before the third round. Nicklaus won the first of his 18 professional majors in the 1962 U.S. Open at Oakmont in a playoff over Arnold Palmer. Nicklaus had only one three-putt over 90 holes. Miller shot 63 in the final round to win the 1973 U.S. Open. His only bogey was three-putting No. 8.
