' Casper and Goalby were head-o- n in the same jtwosome. Casper had won the Greater Greensboro 'two weeks ago. Goalby managed, the first purse in the Masters last week. It was a natural. Ordinarily Goalby would be down and Casper Would be up. The oddsmakers figured it and had Casper to heat Goalby by .They must have reasoned that Goalby would still be celebrating his big win. Such is the pattern a man seldom is up two great weeks in a row " just as Casper went down with a sad 75 when he was riding wild in the Masters. ht 9-- 5. No Letdown For Bob Everything pointed to Casper. Just the norm. But there was a stick in the stack that no one Had seen.

Billy said he was flinching because of a sore hand but didnt offer that as an alibi. It was one of his worst rounds and hes now six strokes off the pacemakers. That will take some hearty play to catch up. But Boros had the topsy-turvday. He birdied four holes and eagled one and came in only one under for the Friday round. He had all kinds of troubles cm the front nine, parring only two of the nine holes.
