Chasing Greatness: The Legendary 1973 US Open at Oakmont

GSfMO#283. 1973 US Open at Oakmont. For many golfers that says it all. During the golden era of golf when names like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, and Lee Trevino were among the most popular athletes, young Johnny Miller came out of nowhere on Sunday to capture the title and the world. Chasing Greatness relives one of the greatest weekends in golf history and in this episode the authors join host Fred Greene to share how this book came to be and why the story needed to be told.

In Part 1, Adam Lazarus and Steve Schlossman discuss the major players of the story and the legendary history of Oakmont, known as the most difficult course on the Tour. Next time in part 2, Adam and Steve take nearly 1.5 hours to describe how the four days unfolded and the amazing ending of the Tournament.
