It’s June 17, 1973. The final round of the 1973 United States Open. The stage is the beautiful, but diabolical, Oakmont Country Club, just outside of Pittsburgh.
Johnny Miller, the quintessential California golden boy from the San Francisco Bay Area, entered the final round six shots behind the leaders.
And then history began to unfold.
Miller was known as one of golf’s fiercest competitors and was capable of shooting scores that most players couldn’t imagine. He roared out of the gates with birdies on Oakmont’s first four holes. A bogey at the long par three 8th would seemingly halt his momentum, but he followed that with a birdie on the par five 9th. The 32 on the front nine propelled Miller into contention. He made his eighth birdie of the day on the 13th hole and by the time he finished the 14th, Miller stunningly found himself in the lead.
Another birdie at the 15th followed by three pars to finish – the last on a tap-in after a wicked lip out for 62 – cemented one of the greatest rounds ever played.
The putter he used that day was a Bullseye design dating back to 1952 and it served as the inspiration for our latest Small Batch design, Pittsburgh.
Small Batch Pittsburgh was an engineering challenge but was incredibly fun for our team to create. We wanted Pittsburgh to be true to Miller’s putter but modernized for the faster greens of today’s game. That meant the putter had to be substantially heavier than the putter Miller used in 1973.
With that as our design brief, we dug deep into multi-material design. Combining two of our most loved materials, 904L stainless steel and tungsten, we began designing Pittsburgh while staying true to the original dimensions of Miller’s putter.
To accomplish our performance and aesthetic goals we essentially hollowed out the middle of the blade. Once we milled the cavity inside the bottom of the putter, we inserted 60 grams of tungsten – with as much weight residing in the extreme heel and toe section of the putter as possible.
The result is not only a putter stunning in appearance but also one fit for the modern game.
Pittsburgh weighs in at a very playable 340 grams, roughly 40-50 grams heavier than the putter Miller used to win in 1973, and something that would be quite useful on Oakmont’s punishing greens.
Small Batch Pittsburgh is milled with our Ultra Fine Double Fly Cut face pattern. Paired with our 904L stainless steel and tungsten material, this mill pattern delivers a lovely satisfying milled click at impact. Befitting a putter bearing the name Pittsburgh, we finished the body in our Brilliant Midnight Black finish and highlighted the tungsten sole with our micro-milled pattern over the brushed yellow gold color.
It was our privilege to work with Johnny and his team to bring this putter to life and to celebrate one of the greatest rounds ever played in championship golf. And to protect the head of Small Batch Pittsburgh, we created a headcover that proudly displays Johnny’s legendary scorecard along with the date of the historical achievement and his signature.

904L 不鏽鋼在其成分中獨具特色,其鎳和銅的含量比一般不鏽鋼更高。
這使得這種材料比其他不鏽鋼類型更耐腐蝕,從而提高了整體耐用性和表面質量,增加的銅和鎳含量還有助於打造 SMALL BATCH 那種難以置信的手感。
這種鋼材被世界上一些最著名的瑞士手錶製造商用於其最昂貴的不鏽鋼手錶之一,從一開始就非常昂貴,而且加工也更加困難和耗時 —— 需要非常慢的進給時間和特別設計的工具。
