"It just makes sense to me," Stadler said Sunday after his victod World ry in Series of Golf. Then he shrugged. "But then, what do I know? I'm just a player," he said. In darkness, Stadler dropped a putt on the final hole to complete a hard-wo- n round of 70 and a 273 total, one ahead of Pavin who closed with a 65. The round was delayed over two hours because of a storm which set Stadler's tee time back to 4:21 p.m. "I sat around the locker room reading the paper for four hours. I was down to the classifieds," Stadler said before appealing for an adjustment in the starting times. Officials usually set times to provide a finish that coincides with the national network telecast of the tournament, usually ending late in the day. But no leeway is made for weather which, PGA Tour Commissioner Deane Beman noted, has caused delays "in something like 70 or 80 percent of our tournaments this year." "With a small field like this (45 from around the have started could world), they them early in the day, taped it, edited it, had a good package," Stadler said.

Jordan, who missed seven games last season with a broken arm, completed 15 of 24 passes for 160 yards and two touchdowns and also rushed for 91 yards. North Carolina State's victory vaulted the Wolfpack to No. 18 in the first Associated Press regular-seaso- n college football poll, while Iowa dropped seven spots to No. 23. Texas A&M remained No. 7 after defeating Stanford in the Pigskin Classic. Stanford fell three places to No. 20.

Mother Nature was the overall winner, throwing rain, cold, thunder and lightning at the field, forcing cancellation of the third round.

Moody won outright with a birdie putt from 30 feet on the 8th extra hole. This was the longest sudden playoff in Senior PGA Tour history. The previous record was Lee Trevino's five extra holes win over Mike Fetchick at last year's Ninex Classic. Moody said Betley's tee shot on the 8th hole (the 17th), which flew into the back bunker, was affected by the wet conditions. "I think Bob got a bad break on that last hole," said Moody. "On his backswing, a piece of grass landed on his golf ball and it ended up a bad shot for him," said Moody. "This victory was nice but I know what it meant to Bob.

BYU must find a decent three- - and n pass rush to go along with special blitz packages. If the last two scrimmages are any indication, the defense is on the right track. And the defense has elected two proven leaders for the season in safety Derwin Gray and inside linebacker Shad Hansen. Hansen, e a aspiring Air Force Academy cadet, is ready for his senior campaign. "Shad is consistent. That is his trademark. He is just consistent down after down," said Todd Her-ge- t, the other inside linebacker. ' Herget and Hansen worked out all summer together, running six times a week, running a for distance and 100- - and d intervals for speed. "It will be interesting. After we had that 3 tie against Iowa and a good defensive effort, we want to build off of that. We believe we can. That was our last good memory from playing football and we've had time all summer to focus in on maintaining that level of play," said Hansen. "We want to attack people, be aggressive and make plays," he added. "We have some good outside linebackers and other good players. The players that we have should make us as strong as ever." Hansen worked as an intern at Provo City and spent the whole working out to prepare himself. "I just took one week off for Lenny Gomes' wedding."

Pendleton didn't win it either after their fight was ruled a technical draw when a ' clash of heads in the second round opened a cut that spurted blood into Pendleton's right eye. Ring doctor James McClennan recommended the fight be stopped at 2:05 of the round as blood gushed from a deep cut over Conference champion football "Orville hit some great shots. just kept leaving shots way right. The pressure wasn't any greater in the playoff," said Betley. "I just tried to play one hole at a time. On that iron shot on No. 17, Orville was in the bunker and I had a piece of grass fly on my ball. I lost my concentration and I it went way right." Betley added, "I was surprised (the playoff) didn't end sooner. We both had opportunities. If I had won, the whole experience would have been a home run for it me.

Larry Laoretti and Jack Kieger shared third at 138 with four players Kermit Zarley, Jim Albus, Rolf Deming, and at five under George Archer 139. Betley, from Fish Haven, Idaho, wasn't the only loser Sunday. When play was suspended at 3:07 p.m. MDT, three players Archer, Albus. and Kiefer were tied for the lead at par. And, Rocky Thomspon fired a course record 63 which included seven birdies and an eagle only to see that score washed out. It doesn't stop there.
