Quick 9: The best Johnny Miller quotes
7. Rocco’s other life
Miller on Rocco Mediate during his titanic tussle with Tiger at the 2008 US Open:
Guys with the name of Rocco don’t get the trophy, do they? He looks more like the guy who cleans Tiger’s swimming pool.
He later apologised explaining that he meant it as a compliment.
8. Ryder Cupset
Miller on the unique challenge of playing in the Ryder Cup:
If you’re a bad putter, you will not make a putt. If you have a tendency to chilli-dip wedges, you’ll be chilli-dipping them all over the place for sure. Whatever your weakness, it will come up in spades during the Ryder Cup.
9. Drop a bomb
Miller on Tiger’s ability to take a correct drop at The Players in 2013:
That Tiger drop was really, really borderline. I can’t live with myself without saying that.
This was just a month after what went on at Augusta when Woods was nearly disqualified and handed a two-shot penalty.

Been watching and playing golf since the early 80s and generally still stuck in this period. Huge fan of all things Robert Rock, less so white belts. Handicap of 8, fragile mind and short game
