CANADIAN OPEN GOLF TOURNAMENT (CBS, 4-6 p.m.). (Concluding on Sunday, same time.) The five finishing holes of the last two days of the $125,000 Canadian Open Golf Tournament, at the St. George Golf and Country Club, Toronto. Defending champion is Billy Casper...
...costlier (by about $20-$45 for a full set of woods and irons) than steel, aluminum-shafted clubs have received impressive testimonials from the pros. Arnold Palmer used them to win this year's Los Angeles and Tucson Opens, is now marketing his own line of clubs. Billy Casper, Sam Snead, Gary Middlecoff and Julius Boros all are experimenting with aluminum clubs, and George Archer claims that his new aluminum-shafted driver gives him an extra 15 yards of distance on every tee shot. That, says Archer, helps account for the fact that...
...mounted 19 color cameras atop a 250-ft. crane, in trees, behind bunkers and in a blimp, which allowed panoramic shots of the entire course, as well as close-ups of snaking putts that seemed to drop right into the viewer's martini. At one point, when Billy Casper and Arnold Palmer were tied for the lead, Arledge split the screen and showed them putting simultaneously on different holes-a touch of drama that neither the golfers nor the gallery could savor.

The son of a Port Arthur lumber dealer, Fleckman became the first amateur in 34 years to lead the Open after 54 holes when he fired 67-73-69 for a one-stroke margin over Nicklaus, Palmer and Billy Casper. Then out for the last round came the four contenders-and a physiognomist could have picked the winner. Fleckman was visibly nervous; Arnie was intent; Casper stood trancelike on the first tee, gazing vacantly at the sky. Nicklaus was smiling and strutting like a sergeant major...
Playing It Safe. For 18 wondrous holes, while Casper sprayed his tee shots, Fleckman blew sky-high and Palmer could not buy a birdie putt, Nicklaus was magnificent. He birdied the third hole from 12 ft., the fourth from 4 ft., the fifth from 14 ft., the seventh from 22 ft., the eighth from 4 ft., the 13th from 4 ft., the 14th from 5 ft. In all, he used only 29 putts. With a four-stroke lead and only the par-five 542-yd. 18th left to play, Jack decided to take no chances...
