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
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.
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.

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.
He has always conducted himself in an exemplary manner. He is a complete gentleman
Mr. Miller is a true great of the game!
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.
So cool to hear these Legends recall their rounds like they happened this morning.
I love how he can't hold back how much emotion he has for the things that matter
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.
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.
Miller was the finest ball striker I ever saw in person. He had all the shots.

I hear this all the time at my local club in Aberdeen Scotland.
What an amazing human!, the humanity and delivery of his story, wrapped in his feelings and emotion. What a video.
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.
John, if you're reading these comments, just want to thank you for your friendship back in the 70s..Livermore and Utah....You're the salt of the earth......Ron Monks (.I live in Florida now)
Good stuff. Johnny. Im old enough to remember it. Miss you on the tube. Hope youre doing well.
Johnny Miller’s greatest golf moment was the 63 at Oakmont. Raising his awesome family exceeded his amazing career. I salute Johnny Miller.
This gave me the chills.
Shooda won more between 72-75 (Majors). Birkdale76 was an incredible win.

@TJ89741 That's exactly right. Some of the greatest players of all time were at their peak. '70s golf is still the best decade for me.
We miss you Johnny!
Johnny's recollections and modesty enhance his achievements on the course. Nice to see a golfing hero aging so well and being as great now as he was back then. It was lovely to listen to your memories Johnny. They are ours too.
I've seen this before but I will watch it every time. Maybe not the exact show but Johnny talking about this day.
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.
That was the round of all time but , Probably your greatest accomplishment was being a Great Dad ,
Johnny seems like such nice guy
Thank you we golfers love you
Great swing…underrated
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.
Heck of a round.
Yes
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.

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.
Something to be said for that upright swing and the open stance.
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.
What is going on with Johnny? His voice sounds a bit shaky. Hope he's doing well.
