...Pacific at 40 m.p.h., bending flag sticks over until the tips touched the ground. Nicklaus double-bogied three straight holes in the wind, and groaned: "I don't remember doing anything like that since I was ten years old." He still managed five birdies and a one-over-par 73 to hold the halfway lead by a comfortable two strokes. Every pro golfer has his own notions about what makes a good golf course -and few of them apparently agree with famed Architect Robert Trent Jones, who designed Spyglass Hill, the third course on which last week...
Goodbye, Arnie. On opening day, Palmer shot a one-over-par 72, six strokes off the pace-and was never heard from again. After two rounds, Casper was deadlocked at the top with Florida's Dan Sikes; Harney was a stroke back in third. A third-round 68 shot Paul into the lead, and the rest was easy-with a little bit of luck. Harney's wild No. 2-iron second shot on the par-five ninth hole barely missed a boundary fence, scooted through a crowd of fans in the rough, bounced into another crowd around...
...first day, a cruel wind whipped across the open fairways at 60 m.p.h "I couldn't keep my footing," complained Nicklaus, who at 205 Ibs. is one of golf's best-anchored pros. He three-putted six greens, settled for a 76. Lema, who weighs in at 180 Ibs., shot a one-over-par 73, two strokes off the pace set by Ireland's Christy O'Connor and France's Jean Garaialde, and pronounced himself satisfied. "There is nothing comparable to putting in this wind," he said. "Let me tell you something about golf...
Firing a remarkably steady 72-67-72-70 for a one-over-par 281, Hebert laid a five iron 8 ft. from the pin on the 71st hole, sank his putt for a birdie, and coasted to the clubhouse, victor by a stroke over 45-year-old Jim Ferrier. His prize: a record $11,000, wrested from the nation's best pressure golfers...
...very first hole, Arnold Palmer splashed into the water, and the 1960 Open was suddenly turned from a one-man romp into the most dramatic in history. With his pre-tournament perfection gone, Palmer labored like a Sunday duffer. His drives wandered about the fairways, his putts tantalizingly lipped the cup. Only his famed talents for "scrambling" kept him in the tournament at all. After the first 36 (of 72) holes, Palmer's one-over-par 143 tied him for a sorry 15th behind the surprise leader, Mike Souchak...
