Miller nets Open record with confident final round
UPI reports Johnny Miller set an 18 hole Open record with a 63 here at Oakmont as he overcame nerves and choking points. Al Geiberger argues confidence reduces nerves and cites Miller's steady composure against legends like Nicklaus and Palmer. Larsen's World Series example is used to illuminate choking and triumph. Miller acknowledged he might have choked if the final round started differently but prevailed with a flawless finish.
