...three days the marine tramped bootless through Viet Cong territory. Except to offer him food or water, Dodson's escort ignored him. By day his hands were bound in green nylon cord; at night he was tied hand and foot to a bamboo rack. Passing through villages, people turned out in droves to gape and offer water, candy, cigarettes and bananas. Only in a recently bombed hamlet were the villagers hostile, pushing close in an angry, chanting crowd until the chief arrived to disperse them. Four times, English-speaking Vietnamese appeared. Each asked Dodson's name and told...

He bogeyed the hole, and lost two strokes when Casper curled a downhill, 30-ft. putt smack into the center of the cup for a birdie...

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 when Arnie missed a 10-ft. putt on the 17th...
