Flash in the pan?( someone commented) You’re kidding …he won 25 tour events! The kids today albeit talented….would never win that many in the past era….no way
You're right, the kids today will never win that many events partly due to the amount of money in the purses. They won't have to compete for as long as the players had to in their era.

I believe Tom Watson was the greatest ball striker ever
You can believe what you want - even though your belief is incorrect.
He’s in the top five, not sure about best ever
Miller was caught between eras with putting…he crouched at it like the old era but at 6’2 he should have stood tall and done the pendulum….Miller would show up better today with modern putting knowledge and technology ……but Watson was totally awesome ❤

I miss Johnny Miller as a broadcaster.
Johnny Miller was a wonderful ball striker. I was lucky enough to see him once at the Open. His iron play was incredible.
In ‘73-75 Miller was an excellent putter with that Bullseye putter. He started doing heavy lifting and the putter left the building.
These greens are trash

Stylish move
Yes Alan, he certainly did. My Dad met knew or worked with every winner of the Open Championship from 1900 to his death in 2020
Johnny Miller wouldn't make a pimple on Jack Nicklaus or Tom Watson's bum cheek!! Plain and simple. Miller won two majors. Watson won eight. Miller won two. Jack won eighteen!! Both men made Miller want to turn to television long before he became an announcer. Gary Player was asked what separates the greatest players from the talented wannabes that dot the tour landscape. "It's the It Factor," Player explained. The indefinable gift of pulling that "one shot" off when others miss it repeatedly. Even long after Miller and Nicklaus retired, there is a great clip of Miller saying that a long putt off the green was impossible. He dared Jack to show him. And Jack showed him!! Nicklaus rolled the ball over the huge meandering mound and into the cup to the roar of the adoring crowd. People rave about Tigers many shots in tournaments to win. This shot by Jack topped them all. ON DEMAND!! While Miller at his peak was a wonderful player, he was a comparative "flash in the pan." I literally can't recall a time when Miller ever beat Jack head to head. Even Miller's celebrated ball striking and iron play could hardly be compared to the greatest shotmaker of them all. The incomparable Ben Hogan. Hogan missed fewer greens in a month than Miller missed in a single round. Anyone trying to place Miller in that class of Player needs to pump the brakes. Numbers don't lie. Jack and Tom turned Johnny into an historical footnote.

@@donaldschmidt2990 Thanks, Donald! I'll be posting a conversation with Jim McLean and Craig Welty about the legendary instructor, Carl Welty shortly. Stay tuned.
Yes you blokes are right, miller was a legend in his own mind and a very ordinary putter, especially under pressure 4 4. 4
@Garry-nf2dx One of the things I enjoyed about watching Tom Watson was his wonderful freedom around the greens. When he wasn't chipping up and in, he was lag putting it dead. Incredibly, I can't recall one time I ever saw Watson leave a putt short. From any distance!! The old Yogi Berra quip that "95 percent of putts that are hit short don't go in," was never more true than with "Tom Terrific." Like Tiger years later, Jack Nicklaus could shoot a strong score even with his Z game!! They would force the ball into the cup through sheer will. Along with Ben Hogan and Sam Snead, the Nicklaus vs Watson Rivalry was golfs greatest, in my opinion.
The best golfer i ever played with used to say " Miss it high , you'll make it "
Exactly, the low side is miss everytime, the higher handicap player misses low most every time!
The high side is called the winning side.
What a time, what a country. L.A. in 1982 may have been peak America

Well for you young folks maybe. There was a 'peak America' before you showed up.
@@nickcurran3105 it was pretty sweet I spent my summers there as a kid and I thought I was in paradise.
During Ben Hogan's anonymity, he used to complain to Valerie at night, after each day's competition, that he just could not make any putt as that was keep him from winning. Valerie got tired of hearing his complaining & barbed him with a comeback, "then why don't you hit the ball closer to the hole so you don't have to make long putts." That was his epiphany. From then on, he started implementing backspin to stop the ball near the cup. Then he started winning. Behind every great man there is a .....

Miller was the better player from 1973-1976 and then he didn’t win for 3 years. He made a comeback from 1980-1983 but he wasn’t as good as previously. Watson was at his peak 1977-1984.

What is the point of this. If it's to piss off the viewer you hit the bullseye. If I see the name Larry Baush on a video in the future I will never click on it. First and last time viewer on this channel. What a joke!
The point of this video is it was embedded in the newsletter "Tour Backspin" on Substack as part of a story on the 1982 Glen Campbell Los Angeles Open. Using UA-cam to embed the video is the easiest way to use the video. My intention was not to get views, and frankly, I'm surprised by how many views the video has gotten. I also embedded the video of the playoff. If you want to see the article in the Tour Backspin newsletter, and see the playoff, it is here: larrybaush.substack.com/p/i-hated-playing-tom-watson

Drive for show and putt for dough. In his prime Tom Watson was the best up & down player on tour and one hell of a clutch putter. It would have been very discouraging to go one-on-one against him in a playoff. Then one day it happened, he missed a few short putts, and his run was over. It was amazing & sad to see...He lost the British Open as a Senior with a bad wedge on the 18th and not getting up & down to win. I was pulling for him to do it one more time, it was tough to watch. The golf gods giveth and the golf gods taketh away.

Somewhere around 1976 Johnny Miller`s putting left him. His natural talent was always his ball striking. You just can`t win at that level without solid putting.

Enjoyed it. A true screw job. Thanks so much .
Both players would have been better without those reverse C finishes. Watson said in his "Lessons of a Lifetime" series that this definitely hurt his ball-striking. That was the style then though.

Rockin' Rollen Stewart had a dark side (surprise, surprise lol)
Just happened on this. Of course Johnny Miller is going to miss a 12 footer. Bad putting drove him off the tour.
I have Watson as #4 all time, ahead of Palmer and Snead. Miller not in top ten.
I have him as #4 of my time. Ahead of Player but behind Palmer. Really close though - each had a favorite Major, each stopped winning Majors young, and each had multiple opportunities they threw away. I gave it to Palmer because he changed golf and made the Open important to all golfers again. But it’s very close.
the guy won the british open 5 times.
Yes, Miller doesn't figure in the 'best of the games greats' list. He could have had he not had the troubles he did with the putter. Although it's only one round, his closing round when he won the US Open probably still stands as one of the greatest rounds of professional tournament golf though.
Well, I guess we will never know what happened.
