Going into Sunday six strokes off the lead behind the likes of Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Arnold Palmer, Miller shot a staggering eight-under-par 63. This performance would propel him to his first Major win, beating John Schlee by one shot.
The American birdied the first four holes and hit all 18 greens in regulation on Sunday. In total, ten of his approach shots also finished within 10ft of the hole, in what was a magnificent ball-striking display
