...slender five-footer who parts his hair squarely in the middle a la Rudolph Valentino, Sobel, 74, is one of the oldest and best-known of 5,000-odd U.S. teaching pros, who make their living by selling clubs, balls and assorted haberdashery, and by giving lessons-mostly to amateurs, but often to the big-name stars of the tournament circuit. Arnold Palmer still takes lessons from his dad, a teaching pro at Pennsylvania's Latrobe Country Club, and Jack Nicklaus polishes his game under the watchful eye of Jack Grout at Miami Beach's La Gorce Country...

The slender Aussie had only a bit more trouble in the semifinals, polishing off the U.S.'s top-ranked Dennis Ralston, 22, in four sets...
