Miller, part of the NBC broadcast crew covering this week's PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass, donated to the hall the set of clubs that he used in shooting a record final-round 63 to win the 1973 U.S. Open at Oakmont. The clubs will be on display in the "locker" set aside for him in the hall. Miller, 60, was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1985. A MacGregor spokesman at the time, Miller played 13 of the manufacturer's clubs. The lone exception was a Bull's Eye putter. The rest consisted of three woods -- real woods, 1-3-4 -- and the Tourney Custom irons 2-10. He carried one wedge, a sand wedge in which all markings had been worn off. His name was etched into the irons and the putter. The clubs were still in the original bag that Miller used in 1973. The green and white bag has his name stitched on it diagonally on the front pocket. |
