United Press International
HARRISON, N.Y. — With
trofessional golfs U.S. Open
mly one week away, there are
ionflicting views on how best
o prepare for the national
thampionship.
Tom Watson, who will be
I defending the Open crown he
re>n at Pebble Beach, and Jack
■licklaus, a four-time Open
hampion, are taking this
/eek off so they can get in
Wicklein,ii xtra practice rounds at Oak-

itofaresti slayers, however, are taking

hester Classic, starting today,
kbout the only other excep-
ons of note were Hal Sutton,
ho is second on this year’s
iarnings list, and Calvin

tedinseiii ',687-yard, par-7 1 Westches-
er Country Club can serve as
in excellent preparation for
he Open. With its tight fair-
rays, deep rough and numer-
ms doglegs, the Westcheser
ayout places a premium on
iccuracy, always a necessity in
he Open.
The tournament is known
s the Manufacturers Hanov-
r Westchester Classic.
“I know every U.S. Open
I ourse will have narrow fair-
rays, high rough and fast
[teens,” said Seve Ballesteros,
wice the winner of the British
)pen and the current Masters
edonajoE hampion. “It’s like the golf
ourse here and I feel it will be
;ood preparation for the

Following his appearance
in Wednesday’s Pro-Am,
Craig Stadler remarked at the
condition of the rough.
“I’ve never seen it this
high,” he said. “This definite
ly will help us get used to play
ing in the rough.”
However much this week’s
work will help him at Oak-
mont, Stadler said he wasn’t
looking ahead to the Open
“because if I do that I’d see no
reason to play this week. I
want to worry about this tour
nament this week.”
No one appreciated the re
turn to Westchester as much
as Bob Gilder, who fashioned
a memorable double eagle on
the final hole of the third
round last year. Gilder went
on to post an incredible 19-
under-par score of 261, the
lowest PGA total in seven
years.
“I know there’s going to be
a little more pressure on me to
play well, but it’s a special feel
ing to come back to a place
where you did so well and
were received so well.”
Following the fiasco of last
Sunday at the Kemper Open,
when the final threesome was
more than three holes behind
the group in front of it, PGA
Commissioner Deane Beman
said he was concerned about
slow play and was considering
several recommendations to
solve the problem.
“We have to come up with a
better solution,” Beman said.
“We cannot live with what we
have now. It’s a very compli
cated issue and we’re looking
at a lot of different options.”
Breaking tradition
Cubs continue record streak with 2-1 defeat of NY Mets
United Press International
The Chicago Cubs, who ha
ven’t won the National League
pennant since 1945, at least
partly due to their punishing
schedule of summer day home
games, are on their best streak in
more than five years.
Keith Moreland singled in
Leon Durham with two out in
the bottom of the ninth inning
Wednesday to cap a two-run ral
ly and lift the Cubs to their
seventh straight victory, a 2-1
decision over the New York
Mets.
The win gave the Cubs their
longest winning streak since late
May 1978, when they won eight
straight.
“When you’re winning, that’s
how things go,” said Chicago
Manager Lee Elia, whose club is
unbeaten June. “We used all 27
outs they gave us. That’s how it
goes when ypu’ve got
momentum.
Durham walked with two out
New Cub Ron Cey
and took second on a wild pitch
by loser Mike Torrez, 2-7. Ron
Cey then was walked intention
ally before Moreland lined a
shot to right-center.
“I was fortunate. We’re win
ning so the momentum is with
us,” Moreland said. “Give credit
to Torrez. He pitched a whale of
a game.” ^
Torrez was on the verge of
his first shutout in three years,
but Ryne Sandberg hit his
fourth home run of the season
with one out in the ninth to fie
the game t 1-1.
Moreland’s hit one out later
gave Chicago the victory.
“You give it the best you
have,” said Torrez, who also
helped himself out with some
good fielding plays in the game.
“I pitched well, we lost. What
else can you say?”
DODGERS 11, BRAVES 5 —
At Atlanta, Fernando Valen
zuela, 7-2, homered and drove
in wo other runs for Los
Angeles, which also got homers
from Dusty Baker, Rick Monday
and Pedro Guerrero.
EXPOS 5, PIRATES 4 — At
Montreal, A1 Oliver singled
home runs in the first and third
innings to help hand Pittsburgh
its seventh loss in its last eight
games.
PADRES 5, REDS 3 — At
Cincinnati, Dave Dravecky be
came the NL’s first nine-game
winner and Kevin McReynolds,
Terry Kennedy arid Sixto Lezca-
no homered for San Diego. The
Reds lost their fourth straight.

HOUSTON — Phil Garner
drilled reliever Gary Lavelle’s
first pitch into left to score Omar
Moreno with two out in the bot
tom of the 11th inning to give
the Houston Astros a 1-0 victory
over the San Francisco Giants.
With one out Wednesday,
Moreno blooped a single to
short center. Terry Puhl sacri
ficed him to second and Dickie
Thon was walked intentionally.
Garner then singled to send
Moreno home.
Garner said he has been un
happy with his hitting of late.
“I haven’t been swinging the
bat well lately and consequently
I haven’t hit the ball well lately,
he said.
Reliever Bill Dawley pitched
the final inning for his fourth
win in five decisions. Lavelle, 3-
1, was the loser.
“I was in the right place at the
right time,” Dawley said. “I’m
thankful the Astros gave me the
ball in the late innings. The key
in that situation is to throw
strikes.”
Through the sixth inning
both starters were in command.
Houston’s Joe Niekro gave up
six hits but allowed only one
runner to reach third. San Fran
cisco’s Andy McGaffigan
allowed only two hits and pitch
ed to only 19 batters.
Both pitchers escaped jams in
the seventh. Niekro allowed a
lead-off double to Tom O’Mal
ley but worked out of trouble.
McGaffigan struck out Ray
Knight with runners at second
and third to end the seventh.
McGaffigan pitched nine in
nings and allowed four hits.
Niekro pitched 10 innings for
Houston, allowing 10 hits, walk
ing one and striking out seven.
“The key to my performance
tonight was that I threw strikes,”
Niekro said. “I got fastballs, slid
ers and knuckle balls over the
plate.”
Giant first baseman Darrell
Evans said his team made too
may goofs.
“We made too many base run
ning mistakes tonight,” he said.
“You can’t afford to make mis
takes when you’re having trou
ble scoring runs like we are. You
can’t win tough games like this.”
The Astros raised their re-
icord to 26-30 with the victory
over the Giants. Houston is in
fifth place in the National
League West, ahead of Cincin
nati and 11 1/2 games behind
the league-leading Los Angeles
Dodgers.
The Giants will face the
Astros again tonight in the
Astrodome. Game time is 8:35.
