Miller Dominates Oakmont for Open Victory in Record Round
John Miller, the 26 year old San Francisco born golfer nicknamed Joe Feast, unleashed a record Open round of 63 to win the 1973 U S Open at Oakmont. He topped John Schlee by one stroke and Tom Weiskopf by two, finishing 279 with nine birdies and one bogey. Miller’s $35,000 prize lifted career earnings past $100,000 and marked his first Open title.
