Read MoreQualifier Miller: “The man upstairs blew that one in for me."
/Rob Oller with a nice follow-up story on Dennis Miller of the lip-hanger putt fame. Lost in the putt was Miller's status as an alternate who started his day at 6:15 and learned soon after that he was going to get in the field.
The video has gone viral. On it, Miller strokes his putt, which breaks left to right before stopping on the lip. One-eighth of an inch of grass separates him from his U.S. Open dream. He takes a step and turns away in disgust, not watching as the ball makes a handshake agreement with gravity and drops. Five seconds of hesitation that felt like an eternity. The small gallery goes crazy. Miller does a double take and raises both arms.
“The man upstairs blew that one in for me,” Miller said.
As of Thursday evening, someone's cell phone camera shot of their television screen had logged 313,583 views on YouTube (Tiger's Memorial chip-in actually has fewer: 222,908). So, so, SO glad the people in golf televisoin continue to really embrace the power of YouTube!
Miller has drawn a 12:45 Thursday time and 7 a.m. Friday tee time with Casey Martin and Cameron Wilson.
