...trying, Jack had never won the Crosby. When he stepped up to the first tee last week, he had not swung a golf club professionally for a month. So on the first tee at Pebble Beach he belted an iron shot 220 yds. straight down the center of the fairway. He hit every green in regulation figures (one stroke for parthrees, two for par-fours, three for parfives), fired a three-under-par 69 that he called "one of the best rounds I have ever shot in this tournament...
Yovicsin looks back in nostalgia on his position as head coach at Gettysburg. "Boy, I guess I'll never live like that again," he says smiling, shaking his head. "Our home was adjacent to the fourth hole of a golf course, and right across the fairway was a lake stocked with bass...
...contention. The tournament be came Sanders, Thomas and Nicklaus, all tied at one under par. Sanders and Thomas finished early, with scores of 283, and sat around the clubhouse waiting for slow, methodical Jack. Out on the battlefield, Nicklaus slammed a perfect drive down the middle of the 17th fairway, then hit a magnificent iron to the green within 15 feet of the cup.

Taking her deep breaths like Mickey told her to, she rolled in a 20-ft. birdie putt on the fourth hole, canned a 25-ft. putt for another on the seventh, chipped in from 15 ft. for still another on the 14th, and drilled a perfect 3-iron to within 18 in. of the cup to set up a fourth birdie on the 16th. She sank a seven-foot putt on the 17th...
...16th tee, and proceeded to bounce his drive off a tree into the high grass. His second shot, a No. 3 iron, crawled less than 100 yds. through the rough. He had to hit a No. 9 iron just to get the ball back on the fairway. A stray No. 3 wood left Arnie trapped just off the green; he had to explode to within 4 ft. of the rim and sink the putt to salvage a six-"the greatest six I ever made." Another birdie by Casper cut Palmer's lead to one stroke, and that stroke vanished...
