...Purcell festival. The public library and the University of Missouri sponsored a symposium on the composer's works, and the Kansas City Star published a picture of Purcell (1659?-1695) under the title Man of the Week. For one society ball, a local combo called Bill Brewer and the Nogales Brass, in 17th century costumes, played jazzy variations on Purcell themes. The result: another successful blow for culture...
...hardly the word these days for Gay Brewer Jr. A 34-year-old Texan with the face of a Boston terrier, Brewer has been a regular on the pro golf tour since 1956. He has won eight tournaments and $208,000, but most of his triumphs occurred in such obscure events as the Mobile Sertoma Open and the Hawaiian Open. Actually, Brewer's main talent is for losing-the hard way. He has finished second twelve times, and he has lost three out of five playoffs during his pro career. Now Gay has set some sort of record...
...place and $8,300 in the next day's playoff. In last week's Tournament of Champions at the Desert Inn Country Club, Gay had a five-stroke lead with only 18 holes to go, and Las Vegas bookmakers were offering 7 to 1 that even Btfsplk Brewer could not blow that $20,000 title. They should have known better. Palmer shot a spectacular 69-eagling the 586-yd. fifth hole when he knocked his No. 3 wood second shot to within 8 ft. of the pin-and Gay ballooned...
...playoff was almost anticlimactic. Now the 8 to 5 favorite of the bookies, Palmer birdied the very first hole; by the end of the first nine, he was already two strokes up. Rattled, Brewer drove into the rough on the par-five tenth, dubbed his second shot, knocked his third 20 ft. over the green, chipped 12 ft. short of the hole and missed the putt. He wound up with a 73, and Arnie's second straight 69 gave him a four-stroke victory. Gay tried hard to live up to his name as he accepted the second-place...
...Brewer, the match was over quickly: he three-putted on the second hole, wound up with a 78. Jacobs' undoing was the tenth: he chipped short, two-putted for a bogey. That gave Nicklaus a stroke-which he increased to two by rolling in a 25-ft. birdie putt on the eleventh green. Finally, only the tree-lined 18th was left. "Two shots can disappear awfully fast," Nicklaus reminded himself, and he decided to play it safe-aiming his drive straight into the jampacked gallery on the left. Then he hit his only really bad shot...
