...Thunderbird Classic at Westchester Country Club two weeks ago, Nicklaus was one stroke behind Gary Player with four holes to go. So on the next hole, a 454-yd. par four, he banged his No. 3 iron second shot to within 15 ft. of the pin, canned the putt for a birdie three-and went on to a two-stroke, $20,000 victory. He made it two in a row at the Philadelphia Golf Classic. Locked in a four-way tie for the lead with two holes to go, he unlocked the tournament with an eagle three (including...
...dropped from a crane last month. In the trials, Musson was fourth (at 113.5 m.p.h.) among twelve qualifiers-far behind the record-setting (120.3 m.p.h.) Miss Exide.

...Norway, miniature tiger tails fluttered from scooters and sedans last week, and the signs along the highways struck a familiar note: Putt en tijger pa tanken. In Western Germany, it is Pack' den Tiger in den Tank; in The Netherlands, Stop 'n Tijger in uw Tank; in France, Mettez un tigre dans votre mo-teur; in Italy, Netti un tigre nel motore; and in Britain what else but "Put a tiger in your tank."
