Oakmont, PA. – Jack Nickus and Johnny Miller can see in the huge scenario of Omont, where each won the US Open title and in some cases saw how little has changed.

The course is longer than that when Nicholas defeated Arnold Palmer in a playoff in 1962, when Miller set a US Open record that still stands 52 years later, as the final round was the only person with 63 in the final round for victory.

But it is still about inserting. It is still those greens that feel like putting in a basketball court.

“I was talking to some people in the locker room a few minutes ago,” Nicholas said on Saturday. “And they are saying, ‘What do you think?” I said, ‘Okay, obviously there is the key here.’ I put the 55th Green three-puts.

“Originally you had to find out these greens and do not let them go to you,” he said. “And be patient. Won a tournament under one, and 1 under equal does not win a lot of tournaments today. But it did it then.”

And this can happen now.

Only Three players were equal Half the way for the 125th edition of the US Open, and the record 10th in Omont 10th. Only 27 players have equalized a major championship under Omkont, and the next 36 holes determine how much this list – or if – this list will increase.

Miller’s victory was epic, mainly because he felt that he was out of 76 in the third round of the 1973 US Open, he was left behind six shots. On a soft course, Miller gave that he believes “a perfect round of golf”.

About. At that time his only bogie long para -3 was three -foot on the eighth hole.

Miller was a major striker of the ball that had a putting line, and he was still remembering only one fairway and hitting each green color, leaving each shot, leaving one except one, left under the cup on Lightning-Fast Greece.

Miller said, “It is difficult to do so in Omkont, there is no downhill put to hit 18 greens.”

Both also had to deal with Arnold Palmer, King, especially in the western Pennsylvania of their country. Palmer won Masters for the third time in 1962. Nicholas was a powerful 22-year-old with a crew cut-“Fat Jack,” he was called-not cared for anything that was cared for, but the winning and the crowd did not realize that the crowd was against him.

“That was the man you had to defeat if you wanted to win, and especially here,” Nicholas said. “It was really a kind of funny because I never listened to the gallery. I was a 22 -year -old child in which it was blind and not enough to find out that people were vested for people. I just went out and played golf. That’s what I did.”

If he could donate a club to the USGA with his open title – as the players are now asked to do – Nickels did not hesitate to win the key.

“I once put three-hit in 90 holes,” he said.

Miller never did all around to answer which club he would have donated – driving was only important to remember a fairway, his iron game was sublime in killing every green color. He did what some other people also consider on a US Open. He attacked, because he had to do it.

“I was more than a person who didn’t like to not closer,” he said. “If she is going into the ball hole, I am going to fill it until I can finish the goal. None of this fancy stuff. I wanted me to thrill to drop the pins down from the green color. It was my fun. It was my fun.

“I don’t know, everyone does it differently,” he said. “But this is just the same as I thought.”

Miller said how he thought, never afraid to use “choke” while talking about pressure to us with his 29 years in the booth in NBC.

Many of the changes from many changes from the days of his glory in Omont: Money.

The award fund is $ 21.5 million this week, with $ 4.3 million going to the winner.

Nicholas won $ 17,500 for its 1962 US Open title. Eleven years later, Miller won $ 30,000. This is true in all sports and is especially in golf because PGA Tour is in a paisa race with Saudi support of live golf.

Nicholas said, “What was happening to me when we played here? Yes. Obviously we all will do it.” “But I was also really happy that … both Johnny and both the trails made a way for what is happening today. I think if you see (Ben) Hogan and (Sam) Snad and those people, they blown it for us.

He said, “I don’t think it would make any difference, whether we were playing for the game we played or what they are playing here today,” he said. “If we had the ability to do so, I think we would have tried to do the same thing.”
