"Not my favorite course” Langer said of the controversial new layout that is being played in this tournament for the first time “I think some things are overdone The bunkers are too severe Often you can't see the pins for the jumps and bumps I think it’s too difficult” Langer said But he avoided most of the trouble off the and by using tees and got in with a round that ranked as the best score on that course this week It included a well UTEP Edges CSU On Late Basket FORT COLLINS Colo (AP) -Chris Blocker’s three-poiplay with four seconds left boosted Texas-E- I Paso to a 3 victory over Colorado 90-7- 94-8- 2 State in Western Athletic Conference basketball here Friday night The Miners who held leads as large as 16 points twice during the second half fell behind with 29 seconds left on an eight-foo- t jumper by Colorado State’s Pat Durham down and it was a tie game "Fatigue and lack of depth because of illness has really taken its toll” Arnold concluded Cougar Coach Ladell Andersen is not talking the Rainbows lightly — slide fadespite the team’s tigue or illness “They'll come to play two nights I'm sure and put it all on the line They’ll play us hard here and then again on Feb 28 in Honolulu for ob- reasons’’ Andersen t i Vl NBA Tipoff nUIUTAH wm Jon vs Sours Tonight at Hemlsfolr Arena 6:30 pm VST KLUB-A(57) jazz Rodio Network Chonnel 5 Jazz Glance — The Jazz conclude their road trip ot the seoson tonight After this they play 14 of ttielr next 19 at home Says Karl Malone “This Is a real big game If we'd won the first three on this trip then maybe It wouldn't be that Important But now It's Important I consider It a must-wi- n gome We need to switch the momentum around before we go home" It might not be easy The Jazz hovent won on the road since Dec 22 Spurs Glance 4- - The Spurs have struggled Only the Clippers have a worse record But San Antonio has played more rood games (23) than any team In the NBA And this game starts a stretch In which San Antonio plays 16 of Its next 21 at home Another hopeful sign?

only 22 of 35 (63 percent) from the tout line "I think some of our guys are playing tight” Layden suggested “You Maybe we figured they had some guys hurt and it was going to be easy” Nothing however has been easy for the Jazz recently Tliey’ve lost to Seattle t Jazs shouldn't miss that many free throws It’s a sign of playing too tight” One Jazzman who isn't playing nervously is Malone He had 27 points against the Suns and) in the last seven games he hasn't scored less than 22 The only blemish on his performance recently is the fact he’s shooting a lot to get his points The Mailman hasn’t taken less than 16 shots in the last seven games and he’s taken as many as 29 Still he’s making them During his hot streak he’s made 81 of 152 field goal tries That's 54 percent “I'd say I’m playing OK” Malone said “But personal goals don't mean much if you aren’t winning and right now wb’re not winning” The Jazz though aren’t worried either Not yet (127-11- Portland (121-11and Phoenix on this road trip And only once — against the Trail Blazers — did they play reasonably well “We didn't play too bad in Seattle” noted Layden “And Portland if we make a shot here or there we could have won But Phoenix was a disaster” Layden pointed out the Jazz had control early leading 6 after the first quarter But then the Suns went on an 11-- 0 run against the Jazz’s bench and took control of the game 33-2- “Our second unit" said Layden "didn’t produce That hasn’t happened very often" Another sore spot for the Jazz was their free throw shooting They made string of three consecutive birdies all on putts of 5 feet “Surprise surprise" he said after completing 54 holes of this five-da- y tournament in 202 14 under Scotland: strong gusty winds and unusually cold temperatures in the 30s and 40s most
