Johnny Miller lost it? I thought he walked away at the top of his game.
Duval lost it. It is very hard to keep that mental edge. He has an odd body with short legs and a long torso. He was the man but poof it was gone. Daly had it but hard living and mental issues destroyed that. Baker Finch and Faldo lost it but not sure if it was due to injury.
I think Miller just retired. Miller talks some cr*p when he announces but his 63 at Oakmont at the US Open was incredible. These top courses, according to a PGA guy I spoke with plus Golf Channel 10 hardest courses are almost impossible to play. Crazy and insane hard courses.
The putting goes first because are hands are not as steady as we get older.
He had leg problems, couldn’t walk the course any more. And, the yips. Couldn’t putt any more. I few weeks ago I heard him say it was burnout. It’s so hard for most humans to stay at such an elite level for more than a few years. Out of a planet of nearly 7 billion people, there are just a few hundred really elite golfers.
