...record and the advantage of playing on their home course, Penn never held a large advantage on the Crimson. Third man Tommy Wynne was within striking distance on Penn's Larry Yohe through the entire match, but he finally went down 2 and 1 on a three putt 17th green. He beat Columbia's Bob Bly 1 up on the 18th...
...shoulder and saying, "Move over, Dad." This spring, as never before, professional golf has been invaded by an army of ambitious newcomers who can belt a ball every bit as far as their elders (or farther), dig divots on the greens with the bite of their approach shots, and putt as if the cups were canyons. Their dedication, determination and disrespect ("Arnie who?") underline their promise. Five of the best...
...Like Nicklaus, an alumnus of Ohio State University, Weiskopf earned $40,069 last year without winning a single tournament. His first pro victory came last month in the Andy Williams-San Diego Open. On the final hole, a 501-yd. par five, he sank a 25-ft. putt for an eagle three that earned him $30,000.

Twice in the next eight holes he hung birdie putts on the lip of the cup; on the 15th, he blew an easy 41-footer and took a bogey. But he birdied the llth, and 13th and the 14th, and on the 495 yd., par-five 17th, he collected his second eagle-covering those 495 yds. with a drive, a No. 4 iron and a 12-ft. putt. With a par on the 18th, Jack was finished. His score: 33 on the front...
