Miller Seeks No 1 Spot After Desert Classic Win
Johnny Miller claims he might be No 1 after winning the $160,000 Bob Hope Desert Classic by three strokes. He notes Jack Nicklaus has dominated golf but says Nicklaus could regain top form, while Miller’s 339 total backs his rising status as he eyes the Masters. Miller’s 1973 U.S. Open triumph frames his confidence as Nicklaus plays sparingly this year. Miller’s season earnings rise to $108,343 with 11 American titles in 14 months.
