...Norman Vincent Peale. South Africa's Gary Player carries a copy of The Power of Positive Thinking around in his golf bag - and over the years has won the U.S. Open, the British Open, the Masters and the P.G.A. The newest advocate of Peale Power is Texan Gay Brewer Jr., 35, whose major claim to fame is that he has found more ways to lose tournaments than any other player in the game...
...swing ("I'm not forcing the ball any longer, I keep within myself") and a new philosophy: "I used to think negatively about my game. I don't have that complex any more. I play offensive golf. I think positively." Tuning up for the Masters, Gay had won the Pensacola Open for the second year in a row-impressively this time, firing a record 61 in the third round.

He was 24 strokes behind Gay Brewer, who shot 66, 64, 61 and 71 for an improbable...
...collar the greens," says Executive Director Joseph Dey Jr. "We want our tournament to be a true test of skill." That it is. The lowest score ever in the Open was the 276 shot by the magnificent "Wee Ice Mon," Ben Hogan, in 1948-14 strokes more than Gay Brewer took at Pensacola last week. Dey complains that the rash of low scores in P.G.A. tournaments "cheapens the concept of par." Both he and Jones insist that fans prefer to watch a golfer battle the hazards of a tough, demanding course-such as Georgia's 6,980-yd. Augusta...
