Other contenders muttered less inspiring words. Al Geiberger rallied with a string of birdies but failed to sustain his charge. Bob Rosburg lost the lead on the 18th green when he blew a 4-ft. putt.

With more than $103,000 in advance sales already made, Hillard Elkins is living the producer's dream-which is not to give a four-letter word about the critics' reviews.
