JT Miller, known primarily for his hockey skills, recently ventured into the world of golf. On Tuesday, he participated in the qualifiers for the 2025 US Open but unfortunately fell short of making the cut.
During the Pennsylvania qualifier, Miller finished with a score of 76, four over par. This score left him four shots behind the playoff cut, which was quite disappointing for him, especially in his second stint with the New York Rangers.
This wasn’t Miller’s first foray into golf; he has previously competed in qualifying rounds several times before. On Tuesday, he candidly admitted that nerves affected his performance. “It’s one of those things,” he said, emphasizing that he struggled to find his rhythm early on.
Reflecting on his experience, Miller remarked that it was challenging to hold the putter and joked about his initial swings not going as planned. He started the day with a bogey on the first hole.
Despite the struggle, Miller expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play. “I had the chance to play for a day,” he stated, acknowledging the competitive nature of the event. While he enjoyed the experience, he didn’t seem keen on switching career paths permanently. “I’m happy with myself,” he concluded.
Unfortunately for the Rangers, they did not qualify for the 2025 playoffs.
