...Chief. Thus, says Moody, as he trudged through the final round last week, he kept repeating a verse from Philippians: "I can do all things through Christ." Other contenders muttered less inspiring words. Al Geiberger rallied with a string of birdies but failed to sustain his charge. Bob Rosburg lost the lead on the 18th green when he blew a 4-ft. putt.
