...British may get some help from the U.S. Lawn Tennis Association, which has yet to decide just where it stands. "I am against dishonesty," says President Robert Kelleher, "but I stop short of any abolition of all distinction between the amateur and the pro." Kel leher has promised to test U.S. re action to the British proposal in a poll of his membership next February...
...first time in 91 tournaments. Jack Nicklaus bravely played on: "All I need is a 48 to win," he said, after a third-round 73 that put him twelve strokes behind. And who should be leading but a couple of patty-cake hitters from abroad: Kel Nagle, who at 44 admits in Australianese that "I'm growing a little long in the tooth," and South Africa's Gary Player, 29, a 150-lb. peanut who does push-ups so he can play with the big boys. In 15 years of trying, Nagle had never won a tournament...
...feel awful," said Kel. "So do I," commiserated Player, who became the third man in history (the others: Ben Hogan, Gene Sarazen) to have won all four of pro golf's top titles. Gary donated his whole purse to charity: $5,000 to the Cancer Fund, $20,000 to the U.S. Golf Association, "because I am so indebted to this country." He also gave his caddy $2,000.

In the backstretch, Carry Back began to challenge, but Kelso moved alongside-and Carry Back wilted. Valenzuela clucked to Kel so, and the champion went after Never Bend. For a few brief seconds the two horses raced head to head. Then Never Bend bent. Without ever feeling the bite of Valenzuela's whip, Kelso drew away, galloped to an easy, 31-length victory. The richest horse racing anywhere in the world...
...hole final day, Palmer turned on the steam. He opened the third round with a flutter of birdies, carded a 69. Henning fell five strokes back, last year's champ, Australian Kel Nagle, six. Palmer's greatest challenge came from Rees, a plucky, 48-year-old veteran who has futilely pursued the Open title for a quarter of a century. But Rees slipped a stroke behind with a 71 in the third round, could only match Palmer's final round of 72 to lose...
