EVEN in the little things, George McGovern has luck. Way back in January, the Democratic party staged a "hotel draw" for Miami Beach's elegant Doral On-the-Ocean, the first headquarters choice of several of the contenders. McGovern got the second straw, right behind John Lindsay, and thus will be ensconced with his entourage in 235 rooms at the Doral. With success has come additional need: he holds 299 rooms at eight other hotels as well. Hubert Humphrey (450 rooms) will be at the Carillon, Edmund Muskie (470 rooms) at the towering Americana in Bal Harbour. George Wallace...

...something special. First of all, J.C. (for Jesse Carlyle) Snead, 29, a nephew of Golfing Great Sam Snead and a onetime minor league outfielder who was No. 112 on the P.G.A. money list last year, made himself $52,000 richer by finishing No. 1 in both the Tucson and Doral-Eastern Opens. Then Brian Allin, 26, a redheaded rookie who weighs all of 145 Ibs., won the $38,000 top prize in the Greater Greensboro Open. Hubert Green, 24, yet another rookie, made off with $25,000 by winning the Houston Invitational...

...first pro victory came last month in the Andy Williams-San Diego Open. On the final hole, a 501-yd. par five, he sank a 25-ft. putt for an eagle three that earned him $30,000. When he bogeyed the 72nd hole to lose the $100,000 Doral Open last week, Weiskopf shrugged off his $8,000 blunder with the casual comment: "I had a bad day at the office." Second place was still worth $12,000, which boosted his 1968 winnings to $46,242-tops on the tour...

...became the first player in 54 years to win the U.S. Amateur on his first try. Bob plans to get married next month because "the tour is no place for a bachelor." Last week, outfitted with a new set of irons, Murphy won $2,100 in the Doral Open and announced: "I'm playing with more ease every week...

There are times, too, when even a tough course gets the tenderizing treatment. The rough is crewcut, sand traps are covered, pins are set in the fattest parts of the greens, and the course may be deliberately shortened. For the Doral Open in Miami, the Doral Country Club's "Blue Monster" was cut from its nor mal length of 7,002 yds. to 6,652 yds., prompting Nicklaus to grouse: "We're playing from the ladies' tees." (They were.) The theory is that low scores attract fans. "People don't pay three and four and five...
