THE BATTALION
Palmer
MEXICO CITY CP)—-The de
fending champion U. S. team of
Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer
is paired with Ireland’s Ryder
Cuppers, Hugh Boyle and Christy
O’Connor, Thursday in the open
ing round of the 15th World Cup
golf competition.
The millionaire Americans
jetted to the scene Tuesday in
their private planes and found
themselves rated solid 2-1 favor-
Nicklaus Ready For World Cup Competition
ites against 39 other hand-picked
teams from throughout the world.
Nicklaus took a quick explora
tory swing around the 7,216-yard,
par 72 Club de Golf Mexico, but
Palmer delayed his first practice
until Wednesday.
The length of the course, the
longest over which this tourna
ment ever has been played, and
the fact that the ball flies farther
in the IV2 mile-high Mexico City
altitude has made the two long-
hitting Yanks almost prohibitive
choices.
Both are expected to reach the
par five holes easily in two shots
and reduce many of the par fours
to simple wedge approaches.
Chief threat to the Americans
is the South African pair of Gary
Player and Harold Henning, who
swept both the team and indi
vidual titles in 1965.
Player was the individual
winner, rated 6-1 in the informal
and non-betting odds.
Also rated highly are Canada’s
George Knudson and A1 Balding;
Australia’s Bruce Crampton and
Allen Murray and all of the four
teams from the British Isles—
Wales, Ireland, Scotland and
England.
The latter teams are made up
of seasoned Ryder Cup players
who have just finished battling
the U. S. top pros in the biennial
international series at Houston,
Texas. O’Connor and Boyle will
be among the toughest.
Knudson, the Canadian, is de
fending champion in the indi
vidual competition, having beaten
out Hideyo Sugimoto of Japan in
a playoff in Tokyo last year.
Palmer has shared in five team
championships, three with Nick
laus, but never has taken the
individual crown. Like the
American PGA title, it is an
honor he is eager to grab before
his career ends.
Nicklaus, who has held every
other major pro crown, has won
two individual championships in
the World Cup in addition to
sharing in the three team titles.
The two golfers are looked on
as the best of the current pro
fessionals and both rank as all-
time greats. They have both been
involved this season on adding
another record to their already
mammoth list.
Nobody has ever won $200,00(1
on the pro golf tour up to this
year. Both Palmer and Nicklaus
are expected to break that covet
ed mark before the year is out.
