Nicklaus Stuns Crowd
With A Tune-Up 62
By JOHN G. GRIFFIN
DPI Executive Sports Editor
SPRINGFIELD, N.J. (UPD—
A fabulous 62 in bls final tuneup
made Jack Nicklaus the favor
ite and an aching hip made
Arnold Palmer a question mark
today as a field of 150 teed off
in the first round of the U.S.
Open golf championship.
Nicklaus really stunned his
rivals Wednesday when he shot
that fantastic eight-under-par 62
—“the lowest round I’ve ever
shot in the United States”—in
his final workout over the 7,015-
yard Baltusrol golf course.
Palmer, ■who played alongside
Nicklaus but didn’t keep a score
himself, came back reporting
that he is having “a little bit of
trouble” with his right hip.
“I’ve got a little muscle
spasm in my right hip,” said
Palmer. “I’m hoping it will be
nothing by the time the
tournament stars. I’m takng
tournament starts. I’m taking
heat treatment, and it should be
better by Thursday.”

But there was absolutely
nothing wrong with Nicklaus
Wednesday and the “baby bull”
from Cleveland, Ohio, had his
rivals worrying about whether
big Jack is better than ever.
Nicklaus had eight birdies, six
of them in a row, to go with 10
pars as he matched the best
score of his career, a 62 in a
round in Australia. Folks have
been asking, “what’s wrong
with Nicklaus?” around golf
tournaments for months and
Buckeye Jack obviously was
delighted to set the rumors at
rest.
Actually, he said, he re
vamped his game after his huge
disappointment at the Masters
tournament in Augusta, Ga., in
April when he failed to make
“the cut” after two rounds.
“I decided to go back to
playing the way I did when I
was growing up, when I was
first successful,” Nicklaus ex
plained. “In those days I shot
mostly left-to-right (fading shots
slightly to the right). Starting in
1963 I taught myself to shoot
right-to-left (hooking slightly to
the left) because I thought it
would help on a couple of holes
at Augusta, i wish I had never
learned.”

staged one of golfing’s most
dramatic finishes to beat

CONCENTRATION has always been the key to golf
success for Ben Hogan, who is after his fifth United
States Open championship this weekend. Bantam Ben,
now 54, still shows his intensity while belting a prac

Braves Blister
Phillies, 16-7
PHILADELPHIA (UPD—The
Atlanta Braves are known as a
power - club, and Wednesday
night they showed why.
The Braves pounded five Phil
adelphia pitchers for 16 hits—
including three home runs—in
a 16-7 victory over the Phillies.
Cl e te Boyer connected for a
grand slam homer, Henry Aaron
hit his 17th and little Tito Fran
cona had his first of the year.
Boyer’s grand slammer, the
fourth of his major league ca
reer, opened up a scoreless duel
in the fourth. The Braves added
two in the fifth and seven in
a wild sixth inning rally that
saw 11 men go to bat.
• Francona’s two- run homer
, was a bitter blow for the Phil-
• lies, since they just traded him
to Atlanta last Sunday.
Braves starter Ken Johnson
’ got the win although he allowed
( 11 hits, including a three-run
homer by John Callison in the
sixth.
Braves Catcher Joe Torre was
spiked in a seventh inning run
down and is expected to be out
of action for a few days.
The loss went to Philadelphia
I starter Larry Jackson, his
I seventh in his last eight games,
i Boyer, who almost missed the
; game because of an upset stom
ach, hit his homer after the
17
bases were loaded by an error
on Felipe Alou’s grounder,
Aaron’s double, and an inten
tional walk to Torre.
