Rangers’ star J. T. Miller misses cut at US Open golf qualifying event
NY Post
J. T. Miller held his own but ultimately came up short in an attempt to qualify for the 2025 U.S. Open during a qualifying event in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.
The Rangers forward finished a 4-over-par 76 during a local qualifying event at Quicksilver Golf Club, located just outside Pittsburgh, and was four shots from ending up in a playoff to be an alternate.
Miller told 93.7 The Fan that he had competed in three qualifying events in the past and the nerves got the better of him on the first green, joking that he could not even handle his putter.
“Today, on the first green, I couldn’t even hold the putter,” Miller told NHL.com. “So, I talked myself into it that it wouldn’t be like that, but I think the first couple of swings are just like that.”
The Ranger bogeyed on the first hole after three-putting before shooting par over the next six holes.
Miller didn’t appear to have too many ideas of grandeur when it came to his golf game coming into Tuesday’s event.

He had just delivered what was — may still be — the forever money performance in the Nets’ NBA history. Jason Kidd had played 51 minutes, 38 seconds of a 120-109 double overtime win against the Pacers, do-or-die Game 5, 2002 first round at the Meadowlands. Reggie Miller had made another of his gut-punch shots to extend the game, a 35-footer that made Tyrese Haliburton’s Game 1 prayer against the Knicks seem like a routine layup.
