Johnny Miller is one of the golfers who carded a round of 63 at the Oakmont Golf Club at the 1973 U.S. Open. It’s considered one of the toughest golf courses in the world, and his impressive shot helped him to win the major that year.

Miller registered a one-stroke win over John Schlee. In 2025, when the U.S. Open was scheduled at the same venue, it was J.J. Spaun who showed with his game and clinched the title. He registered a two-stroke win over Robert MacIntyre.
