JACK NICKLAUS looks over putt on the sixth green at the Canterbury Golf Course. He got a birdie on the hole and went on to win 7 Nicklaus Doesn't Want Asterisk By His Name CLEVELAND (LTI -J- ack Nicklaus has golf's greatest record and he hopes the record keepers won't place an asterisk against his name. When Nicklaus won the PGA National at Canterbury Sunday he chalked up his 14th major championship victory to surpass by one the old mark he shared with the legendary Bobby Jones, the man who gave the nation the Masters tournament in Augusta. "Fourteen is just a number," Nicklaus said. "But I hope they don't put an asterisk against my name as they've done with Henry Aaron. "Poor Roger Maris. Henry Aaron and me." The superstar laughed when he thought about it. but turning serious, he said: "Jones and I played in different times. We played against different people. Bobby won his titles in quick time. There is no knowing what he could have achieved had he played for a lengthy period. But there is no real point in comparing stroke averages, money won and the like. The courses are different and the game is different today from his time." Nicklaus, who has only played IS tournaments this year, was adamant he will continue to play "for a long time." Bui to suggestions he was in a slump, he said: "I've won five times and been in the top six a total of 12 times. Is that a slump?" Nicklaus said "it is too early" when asked how he felt about reaching No. 14. "I guess it will sink in during the next few days, but now I want to go home and do whatever the kids want to do. " Asked if he believed No. 14 would come to him in time following five straight setbacks since his U.S. Open victory last year. Nicklaus said: "I never believe anything will ever come. You've got to make it happen." Nicklaus said he believed he could win from the moment he arrived at Canterbury "if I could play solid, aggressive golf. You can't be timid here and lay back, otherwise you leave yourself and that usually means a few three-pu-tt greens." The champion said he did not deliberately change his formula of missing the preceding tour event to get in casual practice. "I was defending at champion Westchester last week and had to play. "There will g be other occa- sions when I'll play the week before a championship, but it w ill not be by choice." Nicklaus drew a laugh when he son, explained why his 4 year-olGary, was left at home. "After they way he behaved the first two days getting his picture in the paper, decided he must become the first 'little guy' to make the d 1 Nicklaus figured he had the title under wraps when Bruce Crampton made bogey on No. 13. "We were in a golf tournament at that stage, but then I knew I only had to make par to win. Another birdie would be icing on the cake and I made one at 15." East w.
