While J. T. Miller is widely known as a hockey star, he recently took a shot at golf. Miller competed in a 2025 U.S. Open qualifier Tuesday, and he just missed the cut. Miller, in his second stint with the New York Rangers, finished the qualifying event in Pennsylvania with a 4-over 76. Miller was four shots away from advancing to a playoff for a shot at being an alternate. CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM This wasn't Miller's first attempt at golf.

"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." Miller bogeyed on the first hole. While Miller is appreciative he could take a swing at golf for "one day," he doesn't appear interested in making a permanent career switch.
