Prince Edward County, Va., a tobacco and wood-pulp center in the heart of the Old Dominion, is the only county in the U.S. without a single operating public school.

Laotians reverently brought thousands of gifts to accompany "the King to nirvana, including a box of U.S. laundry detergent to keep him clean.

When a tee shot went awry on the 9th hole, he sliced a spoon shot out of deep woods 250 yds. to the green. On the 520-yd., par-five 15th, his second wood overshot the green, but a spectator batted it back. "You people around here," grinned Player, "treat us foreigners very well." With a sparkling 69, Player became the first in Masters history to stay under 70 for the first...
