...Firestone Country Club, he was leading Geiberger by two strokes, Nicklaus and Casper by four. So what did Gene do? He shanked a little pitch shot into a water hazard, took a double bogey, and dropped back into a tie with Nicklaus-who sank a nine-foot putt for a birdie. When Al Geiberger birdied the par-four, 465-yd. 18th, the match wound up in a three-way tie. Littler, Nicklaus and Geiberger all headed back to the 14th hole for a sudden-death playoff. Big Jack excused himself instantly, bouncing his tee shot off a tree, running...
...totals do not include unofficial tournaments and sundry additional enterprises that can add another $50,000 to $250,000 to a golfer's take-home pay. The tally does decide who is the 1966 P.G.A. money champ. And in the approach to that pin, Nicklaus is only a putt or so away.

Taking her deep breaths like Mickey told her to, she rolled in a 20-ft. birdie putt on the fourth hole, canned a 25-ft. putt for another on the seventh, chipped in from 15 ft. for still another on the 14th, and drilled a perfect 3-iron to within 18 in. of the cup to set up a fourth birdie on the 16th. She sank a seven-foot putt on the 17th...
...than 100 yds. through the rough. He had to hit a No. 9 iron just to get the ball back on the fairway. 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 hole. Both golfers parred the 18th, and for the 24th time in 72 years...
