Story Highlights:

Brandel Chamblee joked on social media about not shooting Johnny Miller’s legendary 63 at Oakmont.

He shared insights on Ryder Cup rankings, highlighting the U.S. team’s historically higher average world ranking compared to Europe.

Brandel Chamblee posted a hilarious take on his social media handle. The American golf analyst played golf as a professional; however, currently, he is in the broadcasting industry and is quite active on social media. On Sunday, he shared a post on his X account.

Chamblee shared a candid snap of the Ookmont Golf Club, venue for the 2025 U.S Open. He posted an image of his food with a mug on which the name of the tournament was printed.

"I did not shoot 63," he wrote.

 

 

Johnny Miller is one of the iconic golfers who carded a round of 63 at the Oakmont Golf Club at the 1973 U.S. Open. It is considered one of the toughest golf courses in the world, and his impressive shot helped him to win the major that year.

Miller recorded a one-stroke victory over John Schlee. In 2025, when the U.S Open was scheduled at the same venue, it was J.J Spaun who showed with his game and clinched the title. He recorded a two-stroke victory over Robert Macintyre.

The 2025 PGA Tour was completed with the season finale event last month at the Tour Championship, and ahead of the start of the fall season events, Brandel Chamblee posted a photo from the U.S Open.

Brandel Chamblee shares the stats of the Ryder Cup rankings

After the 2025 PGA Tour regular season, Players are going for the Ryder Cup, which will take place at Bethpage in September. This year, Keegan Bradley will serve as the U.S team Ryder Cup skipper and announced his team last week.

The U.S team included World No.1 Scottie Scheffler, along with other top-ranked golfers like Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Ben Griffin, J.J. Spaun, Russell Henley, Harris English, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay, and Sam Burns.

After the team's announcement, Brandel Chamblee shared a post on his X account with interesting stats of the world ranking of players of the U.S. and European sides. He wrote:

"Since the advent of the World Rankings in 1986, the US Ryder Cup team’s average world rank has been higher than Europe’s in all but two Ryder Cups ( Europe had the better team in 2006 and 2008 "

 

 

Rory Mcllory, Robert MacIntyre, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Rasmus Hojgaard, and Tyrrell Hatton have secured the qualification for the event, and, likely, Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm, Ludvig Aberg, Viktor Hovland, and Matt Fitzatrick might be the captain's picks. It would be interesting to see who would make it into the European Ryder Cup this year.
