New York Rangers star J.T. Miller recently participated in a U.S. Open golf qualifying event, showcasing his versatility beyond the ice rink. However, the NHL player's golf aspirations faced a setback as he failed to qualify for the prestigious tournament. Miller missed the cut by four shots, a margin he attributed partly to the pressure he felt during the competition.
"I was definitely feeling the nerves out there," Miller admitted after the round. "It's a different kind of pressure than playing hockey. I need to work on managing that if I want to compete at this level."
Despite the disappointing outcome, Miller remained optimistic about his future in golf. He expressed his intention to continue practicing and refining his skills, with the goal of participating in future qualifying events. While hockey remains his primary focus, Miller's passion for golf provides him with a challenging and enjoyable off-season pursuit.
