Dick Harmon: Hall of Fame golfer Johnny Miller's son Todd describes battle with near-deadly infection

PROVO — A great athlete in perfect shape — and almost dead.

This is the 45-day saga in the life of former BYU All-American golfer and current BYU director of golf Todd Miller, son of Hall of Famer and NBC TV analyst Johnny Miller. This week, feeling 80 percent healthy, he walked alongside players at the Cougar Classic, gratitude tattooed upon his soul.

Never take life for granted, even if you’ve never been sick a day in your life, testifies Todd. One day toward the end of February he was walking Tucson National following his players, and the next day he thought he was having a heart attack.
