Peete, Haas, Diehl shoot 66
during first day at Disney
United Press International
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.
— Galvin Peete says the reason
he’s playing so well on the PGA
tour this year is because, “I’m
fired up and I’m confident ab
out my game.”
Peete, who has won four
tournaments this year, birched
the 18th hole Thursday to create
a three-way tie for the lead going
into today’s second round of the
$4()0,()()() Walt Disney Classic,
the last stop on the 1982 tour.
Playing on three different
Disney courses, Peete, Jay Haas
and Terry Diehl all carded first-
round, 6-under-par 66s.
Peete, winner of last week’s
Pensacola Open and fourth on
the money-winning list, birched
all five par-5 holes, despite
tricky, blustery winds. In addi
tion, he knocked in a 148-yard
iron shot for an eagle two on the
par-4 ninth hole of the Palm
course.
“I didn’t hit the ball that well,
but it went in the hole, just bare
ly,” said Peete, who could finish
the season in second place on the
money list with a victory in the
Disney Classic.
“The wind was tough, espe
cially on shots not hitting that
solidly. The eagle on No. 9 was
against the wind and that was
tough. But I got a few breaks

and made some putts.
“I’m as pumped up as I can be
with the way I’m playing lately.
I’m really fired up and I’m con
fident about my game. I hope I
can continue.”
Haas, a two-time winner this
year, picked up birdies on the
third, fourth, sixth, seventh,
1 1th and 16th holes on the par-
72 Magnolia course.
Diehl, who hasn’t won a tour
nament in eight years, played
the 72-par Lake Buena Vista
course and also had six birdies
against no bogeys.
One stroke behind the leaders
at 5-under-par 67 were Steve
Hart, Barry Jaeckel, Howard
Twitty, J.C. Snead and Bob
Murphy.
Ten golfers, including Dan
Pohl, Larry Mize and Keith Fer
gus, were at 4-under 68 and
seven players were grouped at
3-under 69. Nearly 60 golfers
were under par after the first
round.
The Disney Classic, which was
formerly a team championship
tournament, is following a for
mat similar to the Bing Crosby
Pro-Am. More than 320
amateurs will team with 132 pro
fessionals for the first three
days, with the final 18 holes Sun
day for pros only.
Peete, the son of a Florida
migrant worker who didn’t pick
up a golf club until he was 23,
said the only way he could hold
on to win the tournament would
be “to go out and be as aggres
sive as I can and continue trying
to make birdies.
Peete said: “I don’t play to
win. I go out there and try to
keep the ball in play.”
Dukes’ Crandall carries
out duties without fuss
by Milton Richman
UPI Sports Editor

Pat McKernan was born
soft. He’s one of the gentlest
souls you’ll ever meet m your
life. He never gets loud, never
gets into arguments, never
gets his Irish up. Unless you
start talking to him about his
manager.
That’s when you suddenly
see him burn. Like one of
those rolling forest fires. He
gets so mad sometimes that he
can hardly get the words out
of his mouth.
McKernan is president and
general manager of the Albu
querque Dukes in the Pacific
Coast League and his mana
ger is Del Crandall, quite like
ly the most successful mana
ger in the minor leagues.
Crandall, a four-time All-
Star as a catcher with the Mil
waukee Braves, is something
of a fixture in Albuquerque,
the Los Angeles’ Dodgers’
Triple A club. He won a pen
nant there in 1970 when the
club was still in the Texas
League, and has guided it to
PCL championships the past
three years.
During his time with the
Dukes, Crandall has helped
develop many players for the
Dodgers, players like Pedro
Guerrero, Bobby Welch, Ron
Roenicke, Mike Marshall,
Mike Scioscia, Alejandro Pena
and Tom Niedenfuer to name
only a few. He also had some
who made it with other clubs
like Rick Sutcliffe, Rudy I .aw,
Bobby Castillo, Mickey Hatch
er, Rafael Landestoy and Bob
by Mitchell.
The Milwaukee Brewers
gave him a chance to manage
in the big leagues in May
1972. Crandall took over a los
ing club from Dave Bristol
and finished sixth with it that
year. The best the expansion
Brewers could do under
Crandall was fifth the next
three years and after being
fired at the end of 1975, he
has never been given another
chance by any big league club.
That’s what’s got McKernan
so fired up.
“I’d like to know what the
rap is against Del Crandall?”
McKernan fumes. “What
have they got against him? Ev
ery day, 1 see where big league
clubs hire guys who aren’t half
the manager he is, but he
keeps getting passed over. For
no reason that I can see. All he
does is win.
“I’ll tell you what his prob
lem is,” continues McKernan,
who once owned the Pitt
sfield, Mass., club in the East
ern League and the Gastonia,
N.C., entry in the Western
Carolinas League and also was
president of the
League.
"His problem is thaikts
a member of the'goodoli
fraternity.'He’s a (reratni
tactician, he develops
players and he's a wii
manager, but nobody it
big leagues wants him.
I’ll tell you why: beam
this society of ours, \fbfli
many play a role and
phony, he doesn’t andlie:
11 e’s a professional, and
fact he does his job wit
much fuss or fanfare a
some people to t
aloof.”
It is something of an 1
