...pros did their bit to beat themselves at Hot Springs. Texas' Mickey Wright, looking for her fifth Open title, shot an 80 in the second round; Louise Suggs, a two-time winner, pulled to within one stroke of Catherine-only to overshoot the green on the par-five, 534-yd. 16th hole and take a double-bogey seven. Playing methodical, unspectacular golf from tee to green and putting superbly, Catherine opened up a seven-stroke lead that put the tournament safely out of reach, despite a case of last-round jitters-six bogeys in seven holes. Finishing with...
...Nicklaus, 27. When he was only 20, he went through the World Amateur Team championships at Merion Golf Club in Ardmore, Pa., in 269-the lowest score ever recorded by an amateur in major competition. Two years ago, he smashed the Masters record with a 17-under-par 271. He set pro golf's alltime official money-winning mark with $140,752 in 1965, and he is one of only four golfers (Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan and Gary Player are the others) who have won all of golfs top four tournaments: the U.S. and British Opens, the Masters...

...hole from 12 ft., the fourth from 4 ft., the fifth from 14 ft., the seventh from 22 ft., the eighth from 4 ft., the 13th from 4 ft., the 14th from 5 ft. In all, he used only 29 putts. With a four-stroke lead and only the par-five 542-yd. 18th left to play, Jack decided to take no chances and hit a No. 1 iron instead of a wood off the tee. The ball sliced into the rough; Nicklaus pitched out-and reached for the No. 1 again. This time he belted it a full...
Leading that quartet is captain Keith Colburn, middle distance and distance runner par excellence. Colburn will run the 880 in the English meet. In an exhibition race during the varsity's meet with Army, he turned in a staggering time of 1:49.3, which would have broken all existing Harvard University and stadium records if it had been run in an official race...
