Iverson, who never before had even qualified for one of the worlds four major championships, was tied at 139 three under par on the 6.8)2 yard Canterbury Golf Club course by Mason Rudolph. Rudolph, a veteran of 15 years on the pro tour h has drifted back into the ranks cf qualifiers, managed a "0 in the mild, cloudy weath- er The softly draw lrng Rudolph, a 1971 Ryder Cup member, replaced A1 Geiberger as Iverson's Geiberger went from an opening 67 to 76 for 143, well back in the tightly bunched pack Lurking just one stroke off the leaders shoulders was the most feared competitor Jack Nicklaus. Nick-lauwho said he benefitted from a lucky break, was rewarded with a big hug bv four year-olson Gary after he finished with a 68 for 140. He was tied at that figure with Gibbv Gilbert and Dan Sikes. Gilbert had a 70 and Sikes matched Nicklaus best round of the day with another 68 games Tom Weiskopf, who has won the British and Canadian Opens and three other titles m his last nine starts, matched par 71 on the hilly old layout and was tied at 141 with former PGA champion Dave Stockton and Englands Tony Saturday Morning, The Mountain Dell golf course, showing off it' cansunshine, yon greenery in the bright, played host last week as Bev Nelson and Marcia Thayne Page 29 g City Parks title competed for the Ground squirrel, raced everywhere, using their swift, churning movements to clash across the fairways High above the course, diesel trucks rumbled past on a modern freew ay In the mid.'t of this both primitive and civilized setting. a "sttange" round of golf was taking place. Strange? Well yes. in the sense that Bev and Mama were finally meeting in match play and. contrary to expectations for a close contest, one of them was winning easily. Strange? Well, yes, in the sense that this was it. the championship match in the City Parks tournament, and the two opponents were grinning, laughing, applauding one another for a tee shot vv You would have thought the scene was a women s dub luncheon with Marcia and Bev exchanging pleasantries over a cup of tea Not a trace of main could be found The U'Ual elements of an athletic contest, the tanal distress when something goes wrong, the evil little smile that breaks through when something goes nght. were confrontation.

For instance, if Bev happens to be hard its putting. I cant say to myself. Okav. now. miss tins one. When the match ended abruptly on the 13lh hole. Bev and Marcia wore the same blank expressions that had been there at the outset. It was like a conditioned response, almost Pavlovian in nature. Who had won and who had lost was anybodys guess, based on their straight faces. Still, it told you something about the two champions. Neither one of them would want a little thing like a golf tournament to get in the way of their friendship Special to The Tribune One last point Bev. the winner, ottered Marcia, the loser, a ride back to the clubhouse in her golf cart.

Just joking, of course Parks Success Citv With the compelling feature of match play adding a little sparkle, the City Parks meet itself worked out just fine. Normally, womens golf to.rnaments are played before a gallery of a few reporters and photographers. But a squadron of golf carts and many fans on foot followed play in the final match I said something beiore about the ladies events Amabeing antichmactic with the passing of the State teur.

Jan, a striking blonde who strolls around the course barefoot, won the championship flight consolation title and hence, achieved some success on her own. Prior to the tournament, Jan was known only as Miss Thaynes partner in the best ball golf meets.

Rocky Grauberger is a lady softball pitcher who hurls for the Law Equipment team of Denver, Colo. Now, parents, that doesnt mean you should immediately name your newborn daughter Rocky. I wish someone would throw the word superstar out of the English vocabulary. It seems that Nolan pitcher who still has trouble Ryan, the double no-h.500 was called a superstar by a record, maintaining some nitwit the other day. The term Is meaningless and it doesn't apply to Ryan, not yet anyway.
