Show ft m Page B — The Herald Journal Logan Utah Monday March 8 1999 Elkington seizes opportunity MIAMI (AP) — Steve Elkington has won 10 times on the PGA Tour but never quite like this In a span of two hours he three-putte- d the 18th green on the Blue Monster kicked in the side of a sewing trailer watched the back nine from his room at the resort warmed up for a e check playoff and then accepted the for $540000 without hitting another shot The Doral-RydOpen might not have had the array of stars it usually gets but it rarely lacks drama Sunday was no exception “How about that?" Elkington said Sunday afternoon long after his 64 was in the books and his FooUoys dented the trailer Despite a bogey on the final hole Elkington won the Doral in a thrilling finish that he never saw He was on the practice ranging preparing to go buck out to No 8 for a playoff when the toughest closing hole on the PGA Tour swallowed up Ernie Els and Greg Kraft “Thank goodness they had to play that hole" said Elkington who finished at 275 for a victory over Kraft “It's a very dangerous hole” And it almost always decides the champion at Doral first-plac- cr 1 cr one-stro- on the PGA Tour He caught Elkington with a 12th gave one back birdie on the 603-yar- d from the bunker on No 13 and rejoined the birdie on 17 lead with a the fun began Then Els who was pulling everything left on Saturday when he pieced together a 70 to remain two shots back of the lead was haunted by the swing flaw at the worst possible time With just 154 yards to the flag his turned left and nearly went in the water instead hanging in the clumpy rough near the red hazard line Needing to get it dose to save par and force a playoff the chip failed to get up the hill and tridr-le- d backdown in virtually the same position "I was just thinking to get it on the damn green" Els said of his chip “I can't believe the shots I played” in his hand Next came Kraft With a Kraft had only one thing on his mind “I was thinking birdie the whole time” he said “I even told my caddie ‘Let's try to end it now' And 1 did" He caught the ball so fat that his eyes closed with disbelief Mark McCumber almost lost his ball in a palm tree before he found it 40 yards away and salvaged a bogey to win by one stroke in 1985 Four years ago Nick Faldo hit the most of his career to save par givheroic him a victory when Greg Noring man pulled his approach into the water All but 12 tournaments at Doral have been decided by a single stroke since it began in 1 962 the year Jack Nicklaus turned pro Elkington was well aware of this when he stood over a putt fur par trying to cap off a 63 that he felt certain would be enough to win “1 wanted to send a message" he said “I didn't want them to see them go ‘Oh he bogeyed the last That's good' I didn't want to leave any crumbs out there” But he did and it wasn't long before Els and Kraft scooped them up Els trying to win his second straight event on tour scrambled from the sand for one pur after another before converting one of only three birdie attempts on the back on No 17 to pull into a tie nine a 1 Kraft in the group behind kept himself together while trying for his

Vegas 400 into family affair LAS VEGAS (AP) — The first Las Vegas 400 ended up being a Ford affair Jeff and Ward Burton turned the rerun into a family affair The racing brothers went in the closing laps Sunday with Jeff Gordon trailing close behind for good measure before 125000 screaming fans at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway When it was over Jeff Burton outlasted his brother taking the lead for good 10 laps from the end and finishing 1 074 seconds ahead of Ward to win this gambling city's second Winston Cup race “It's a little racing against your brother" Jeff Burton said “It complicates the
