Nicklaus, who will be bidding for his second straight match play title Saturday over the par-7Wentworth -- ourse, thrashed Englands Neil Coles 7 and 5 in one semifinal. LAND 6,997-yar- 4 Won, in matches, eliminated New Zealands Bob Charles 2 and 1 in the other. Nicklaus and Player met in the 1966 title match, won by face-to-fa- 6 and three and picked up his ball to concede the match. Jack is quite simply the very best player there is, Coles said afterwards. Hes too strong for most of us. Those drives . , . they are out of this world. The two men halved only six holes in the match, which drew thousands of fans to the Parkland course, basking in warm sunshine after early fog had delayed the start of play.

Nicklaus, top money winner on Jhe world circuit this year with $207,080, started the days play as a 64 betting favorite. Playei was listed by the London oddsmakers at 5-- Nicklaus, in fact, lost nine holes to Coles. Ive never beaten anyone by such a margin and lost so many holes, the player from Columbus, Ohio, said. But I must admit that I placed an awful lot of good shots. Player, who has won all the top titles in golf, had to pull out all his magic to beat Charles, the southpaw who won the Picadilly title two years ago. They were all square u.er the first 18 holes, in which Charles scored eagles at the 12th and 15th for an incredib'e 32, six under par, on the second nine. Were Unfounded Nicklaus putting worries in his match against Coles, a British Ryder Cup star, were unfounded. Two massive putts of 45 teet and 33 feet at the eighth and ninth holes gave him a lead, and he delivered what turned out to be a death blow by winning six of eight holes from the 15th to the 22nd. On the 17th Nicklaus struct s two mighty and rolled in a putt for an eagle three. I began playing trying to finish it, Nicklaus said of being at and the balding the 22nd Englishman won the next three. p S three-wood- semi-slopp- y, p Still the Finest for Fit M Focused Concentration & Comfort DAHLE'S Nicklaus then focused his moved and concentration with majestically up to seven to play. d At the 31st, Coles was short of the green in Tiiorogood Store p 242 359-984- 437-yar- am S.
