LOS ANGELES — Johnny Miller was back behind a microphone on Wednesday and the subject was himself. Specifically, the 1973 U.S. Open championship that he clinched with a final-round 63 at Oakmont that remains one of the greatest rounds in major championship history. Miller was honored with the 2023 Bob Jones Award, the USGA's highest honor given in recognition of distinguished sportsmanship in golf. The award coincides with the 50th anniversary of Miller's memorable round, which he began six shots off the lead and trailing 11 players including Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Lee Trevino.
