Six shots may seem like a lot," Sutton said after hed chipped in for an eagle-- 3 that served as the highlight of his in Saturdays third lound at Williamsburg, Va But there are some very good players right behind me. If they get it rolling and I let my tail feathers fly up a little bit, there could be a change, a real sudden change, in the golf tournament. I'm going to keep on trying to make birdies, hit the ball at the flag and see what I can do. Sutton, golfs Rookie of the Year last season and currently leading the PGA Tour in completed three rounds over the 6,746-yar- d Kingsmill Golf Club course in 201, 12 strokes under par. With 18 holes to go in the chase for a $63,000 first prize, his leading marthree-roun- d gin matched the largest adlead of the season. His vantage after two rounds also was the high for the year. That big margin was cut to four shots at the turn, but Sutton birdied the 10th and 12th holes, then chipped m for the eagle-- 3 on the 15th and pulled away again. Defending champion Calvin Peete declined to concede, however. I never really count myself out until its over, said Peete, who one putted 10 times in a round of 66 that lifted him into a tie for second at 207 with Payne Stewart. Too many things can happen in 18 holes of golf, Peete said, and pointed out he was seven shots behind going into the last round of the Atlanta Classic, which he won earlier this season. Stewart also shot a 66 in the hot, sunny weather to gain his share of the No. 2 spot. U.S. Senior Open: At Chaska, Minn , Billy Casper overcame a stiff wind and rock-har- d greens to shoot 73 Saturday for a a total of 215 and a three-strok- e lead in the $175,000 U S. Senior Open. Casper led Roberto DeVicenzo, Rod Funseth, and Jerry Barber going into Sundays final round. DeVien cenzo had three double-bogey- s route to a 77. Funseth shot a 74 and Barber matched Caspers 73. Winds gusting to 28 miles per hour and lightning-fas- t greens took their toll. Only one player, Paul Thomas, in the field of 64 qualifiers matched par-7Thomas, however, was far back with a total of 224 The greens are so fast that each putt is exciting, Casper said. They dont have much grass on them. It was like putting on dirt. Casper, who went into the round one stroke behind DeVicenzo, birdied the fourth and fifth holes but for the day slipped back to even-pa- r on the sixth with a double-boge- y hole. He bogeyed No. 7 to finish the 36. Casper front nine with a got back to even for the round with a birdie on No. 11 but suffered bogeys on Nos. 12 and 16 leader at DeVicenzo, the went up another stroke on the field with a birdie on the par-- 5 third hole. But he ran into a double-boge- y d six on the seventh hole. Dan Sikes, Guy Wolstenholme and Miller Barber, all of whom were bed with Casper after 36 holes, shot 78s and were grouped at 220, one shot behind Charles Sifford, 74. money-winning- s, six-stro- 1. 550-yar- d, 400-yar- f 1 S' t ' ft rain-delay- sic 69 Colorado Open: At Evergreen, Colo., flamboyant Larry Webb fired a 66 to move within five shots of leader Jim Blair as the second round of the Colorado Open golf championship was completed at Hiwan Golf Club. Blair had posted a course-recor- d 64 on Friday before heavy rain, lightning and hail forced a suspension of play with about half the field still on the course. Those players, including Webb, completed their second rounds Saturday. A windup is scheduled for Sunday, weather permitting Blair, the assistant pro at Jererny d total of Ranch, had a 131, while Webb was at 136. The only other players under par were Laurie Hammer of Keystone, Colo., who was at 138 after a 71 Saturday, and Rick Cramer of Fort Collins, Colo., at 139 after a 71 n on Friday. Tour veterans Dan and Bob Byman were at even-pa- r 140. Halldorson completed a 67 Saturday, while Byman had his second straight 70 on Friday. Rain fell during much of Saturdays action, and isolated showers were expected again on Sunday, raising doubts that the players would be able to complete 36 holes on the final day. Most of the challengers felt that if they cant get 36 holes in on Sunday, Blair probably cant be overtaken. But Webb wasnt conceding anything. I think Blair realizes he has the foot, the horse and the artillery right on his tail, said Webb. Im coming after him. I like this. I want it bad. LPGA Golf: At Indianapolis, Australian Karen Permezel had seven birdies while shooting a 67 to take the lead after three rounds of the $200,000 Ladies Professional Golf Association Mayflower Classic.

Womens Soccer: Rags to, Well, Not Exactly Riches By Tom Wharton Tribune Sports Writer When Karen Quinn first put a soccer team together composed mostly of University of Utah women seven years ago, the team had to compete against mens teams "We used to get creamed, she But it was so much fun, we just kept with it. Now, the University of Utah wom-es'- s soccer team, which recently wrapped up its third straight Utah Soccer Association womens championship. is the dominant organization in the state Where the team once played in any sort of uniform it could dig up, it now has fancy uniforms, a B team for beginners and a highly qualified coach in the person of Brad Quinn, Karen's husband. Though the team, which is made up mostly of students but does have some alumni playing, is successful, it does have some financial woes. While it does receive some money as a dub sport from the University of Ulah, the support doesn't even pay league entry fees. The team would like to do more traveling out of state. For example, it qualified to compete in the regional of the National Amateur Cup in San Francisco, but couldn't put to s, gether enough money to make the trip. The team has finished twice in Las Vegas Silver Cup tournament, but the Quinns would like nothing better than to travel to even more events. Were invited to a lot of tournaments, says Karen, who, with Linda Davis and Lil Lowe, is an original member of the team who is still actively playing. One of our problems is that there's not a lot of competition in the state, adds Brad. There are three good teams (out of 11 in the league). Alemannia and Pan World do very well. They play us very hard games. Still, the university hadn't lost a league game since September of 1981, although they have lost some Amateur Cup games to Alemannia This season, Linda Davis has been the top scorer while goalie Marie Midboe has had an excellent season. Other top players on the team include Julie Brunsman, Dorte Carlson, Suzanne Ivey and Crystal Tyrer. How does the team get its players? Mostly, word of mouth," says Brad "People who are new in the area see soccer and ask around Oth-SePage , Column e D-6- 1 i i , |
