...belongs to an exclusive minority-he is a lefthanded golfer on the U.S. pro tour. That alone is enough to make him the hero of 400,000 amateur lefties who wire him encouragement and even dip into the cooky jar to bet on their boy against the likes of Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Those bets have begun to pay off. Last April Charles became the first left-hander ever to win a major pro tournament when he took the $10,000 top money in the Houston Classic. Last week, at Britain's Royal Lytham and St. Annes Golf...
...long enough to wangle some concessions on NATO or nuclear arms control; then Mao would step in and together they would demolish the free world. Today it is inconceivable that the quarrel is merely an act. In fact, there is a growing vision-shared by such disparate prophets as Arnold Toynbee and Charles de Gaulle-of Russia and the West some day standing together as allies against China. Stranger things have happened in history. Yet the vision has its dangers...
Less than two months ago, his game in tatters, golf's No. 1 money winner, Arnold Palmer, quit the pro tour to think things over at home. "Every time I turned around," he complained, "somebody was writing my obituary." But last month, rested and relaxed, Arnie beat Paul Harney in a play-off at New York's $100,000 Thunderbird Classic.

For his work, Arnie collected $23,400 -$22,000 for winning the tournament, $550 for finishing fourth in a prelimi nary pro-amateur, plus an $850 cut of the play-off gate receipts. All told, in three short weeks Arnold Palmer had earned a cool $54,000 in official purses and had already broken his record ($81,448 in 1962) for money winnings in a single season. Pro golf's top ten, with six months still to go on the tour: Tournaments Dollars Won Won 1. Arnold Palmer...
...calmly along, clicking off his drives, punching his irons low into the roaring wind, taking a bogey here and there, but mostly getting his par. After 72 holes he was nine over at 293. No one did any better. With Brookline's bogeyman making their lives miserable, both Arnold Palmer and Jackie Cupit also wound up with 293. And so the Open went into a three-way playoff...
