Canadian noting the nickname Ben Hogan hung on the 6998-yar- d course "bit back Chen took what the Taiwan golfer called a "double par" eight on the par-- 4 fifth holevThat obliterated a lead 'or four shots over North that once looked'like money in the bank "TC opened the door for a lot of us" North agreed “It was a freaky thing that has happened to all of us — unfortunately'’ A double hit on a chip from the rough giving Chen a penalty stroke plus a missed putt contributed to the eight He bogied the next three holes but North helped Chen come 457-ya- rd UPI ‘i Tze-Chun- Chen's smile lasted until the final day of the US Open g US Open three shots down with a his own run of bogies "It was all No 5T' the weakly smiling Chen explained "I really not complain I Just played bad pitiful golf

and Hale Irwin ehot in 1949 and 1979 respectively became the 15th from three-hol- e st US Open double winner The 8103000 first prize was considerably more than North won last year (822131) when he came back from elbow aurgery But despite only three victories North has a cumulative 81039206 in winnings that makes him the 52nd player to earn 81 million from golf tournaments Once North got the lead from Chen he lost it y stretch before briefly during the shooting back into a tie with Barr and Chen via a birdie putt on the par--3 three-boge- 10-fo- ot 172-ya- rd 13th “I hit a (to within) about 10 feel" he said "It was really the shot I needed at that point" North said there were similarities Sunday to his 1978 win when he also closed with a 74 "I played poorly in the middle then got my act together in 1978" Open victor: ‘Finally got the monkey off my back’ - Seven years BIRMINGHAM Mich (UPI) without a victory much of that time spent in pain can really hurt a guy On Sunday big Andy North said he "finally got the monkey off my back" In a scene chillingly reminiscent of his last victory North gamely held on to win his second US Open by a single shot despite a bogey on 74 the final hole and a closing “There were some days I wondered if I'd win again" North said referring to the right elbow that troubled him for several years and sorely hampered his game "But I’ve always been a survivor I believe if you work hard enough good things will happen "I worked hard last fall every day and I got stronger When you’re playing well and feel good it has a snowballing effect in a positive way When you don't feel good and you’re not playing well and you don’t want to go to the golf course it snowballs the otner way" North underwent surgery in the fall of 1983 to remove a huge bone spur from his right elbow but still suffered through his worst year in 1984 earning only 822131 But earlier this season he tied for sixth in the Hawaiian Open and he is now playing without pain for the first time in about seven years North las' Tour victory came at the 1978 Open On that occasion at Cherry Hills in Denver North also bogeyed the final hole also had a final 74 and ilso won by one shot "To finally win any tournament and it’s Just great to get the especially the Open off said North who is back" my monkey and 200 pounds "I'm tired of answering questions why I'm playing so terrible "This is a step in the right direction but it's still hard to make up for 820000 years Uncle Sam didn’t send me any get well cards" The North who lives in Madison where he serves as a volunteer coach to the Wisconsin football team started Sunday’s final round two ahota behind leader Chen He immediately lost another stroke with a bogey on the opening hole He waa trailing by four ahota at the fifth hole when Chen made a quadruple bogey allowing North to move into a tie for the lead "TC (Chen) opened the door for a lot of us" North said "It's a freaky thing that happens I've done it too many times" StiU North had trouble taking advantage He wasn’t playing well missing nine of the first 10 fairways (and aU but four for the round) and he bogeyed three consecutive holes starting at No 9 to fan back into third place But a good aand wedge on the 12th hole suddenly turned his game around despite a bogey on the hole and he birdied the 13th with a putt — only his second birdie in two Wis Tze-Chu- 10-fo- ot rounds Following that North said he felt comfortable with his game and believes his 13 years on the Tour helped him to the championship "It wasn’t only the Open experience (of 1978) but having the chance to win other times and screwing up" he said "I probably had five or six good shots to win and I've managed to mess V one way or another" The victory was worth 8103000 to North and pushed him over the 81 million mark in career earnings with 81039 206 North also is the 15th man to win at least two Opens Oddly he has won only one other tournament the 1977 Westchester Classic and because of this his credentials as an Open champion were questioned "The players never questioned my winning" North said "This wUl take the heat off from other quirten"
