...will not be easy to win any or all of the upcoming tournaments. Golfdom's perennial Big Four?Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player and Billy Casper?are still potent, and the sport has a host of other aggressive young stars (see box) who in any given week can run off with the big money. Clearly, though, no other golfer is about to match Trevino's record in 1971. At 31, he is in his prime?and is working through the hottest streak of his career.

"See Diane Patterson," blurbed the promoters, "a former flying-trapeze artist turned golfer." See Sandra Palmer, "a Texan who is only 5 ft. 1½ in. tall but can belt the ball a mile." See Donna Caponi, "a young lady who plays a mean game of golf during the day and cuts an equally mean watusi at night." And see Pam Barnett, "a North Carolinian who throws her wig instead of breaking...
