...getting to be par for Palmer's course. It all started last year, when Arnie won the Masters, and visions of a grand slam were dancing before his eyes. So off he went to the U.S. Open at Oakmont, Pa., a course he had played at least 200 times before-and what happened? Nicklaus beat him. Jack did it again in the World Series of Golf, that time for $50,000, the biggest prize in the game. But last week's blow was the hardest of all.

His biggest competition, the early favorite Sir Gaylord, was out of the race -he had pulled up lame the day before-and the smart money figured Ridan at 2 to 1. Breaking perfectly, the horses pounded around the fading arc of the clubhouse turn, fought for position on the rail. As they swept into the back stretch, Hartack might have permitted himself a grim smile. Up ahead, Ridan refused to obey the commands of Jockey Manuel Ycaza and spurted into a three-length lead.
