...When a tee shot sank in a sand trap during the final round at Rochester, N.Y., fortnight ago, the bold blonde pulled a real surprise out of her bag. As a stunned gallery watched, and a SPORTS ILLUSTRATED photographer snapped away, JoAnne blasted her way out of the trap with-for heaven's sake-a No. 5 wood, instead of the normal wedge.

About that same time, Jack caught the eye of Jack Grout, then a pro at Columbus' Scioto Country Club. Recalls Grout: "I smoked a good one off the tee at No. 16, over the hill in the fairway. I hit onto the green with a 7-iron. Just after I started walking toward the green, a ball came whizzing by me. I looked around and I couldn't see anyone.
