Astros’ Dave Smith says
he’s ‘feeling stronger’
four-run fifth inning that won
the game for the Astros.
For a hitter who spent the
better part of the early season
hitting in the .220 to .240
range, Puhl has now lifted his
average to .294.
Thanks partly to Puhl, the
Astros have won six of their
last seven games and im-

Montreal catcher Gary Car

“You have to give the
Astros credit,” he said. “Their

Garner and Puhl is really on a
streak.”
Brewers’ rookie
enough runs to
Porter gets
beat
United Press International
ARLINGTON — Mlwaukee
rookie righthander Chuck Por
ter, who recorded his first major
league victory in a defeat of the
Texas Rangers, said he wanted
to share his bottle of champagne
with his teammates.
That news came as a surprise
to some people since the 27-
year-old had been all but de
serted by his team’s offense in
his five previous starts.
“We finally got some runs for
him,” said Milwaukee manager
Harvey Kuenn after the Brew
ers and Porter defeated the Ran
gers 9-2 Tuesday.
“He’s kept us in every game
he’s pitched,” Kuenn said. “And
it’s tough to go nine innings in
the heat here, but Chuck was
throwing well, even into the
ninth inning.”
Porter, 1-4, said he was very
pleased with his control as he
held the Rangers in check until
the Brewers began unleashing
an 18-hit barrage against three
Texas pitchers.
“I was more consistent in get
ting the ball where I wanted it.”
he said. “In my last start, against
Cleveland, my location was off.
“It was frustrating that I had
to wait this long to get my first
major league win, but it never
bothered me when I went out to
the mound and started the
game,” he said.
“I wasn’t feeling any pressure
and I never thought I was a
jinxed pitcher. Remember, I’ve
pitched against some guys
who’ve thrown some very good
games against us>”
Rangers second baseman
Wayne Tolleson agreed that the
rookie had excellent location.
“He didn’t give us too many
good pitches to hit so you have to
give him some credit,” said Tol
leson. “And he had a lot of
offensive backing.”
Cecil Cooper’s three RBI led
the “name” players for the
Brewers, but it was little-used
utility infielder-outfielder Ed
Romero who led Milwaukee’s
reserves in the lineup with four
hits, two RBI and two runs
scored.
“When I get to the park and
find out my name is on the
lineup card, I just get ready to
play the best way I know,” said
Romero, who appeared in only
his 13th game of the year. I
didn’t want to put any pressure
on myself.”

United Press International
BIRKDALE, England — All a
golfer has to do to win the 112th
British Open Golf Champion
ship, which starts Thursday, is to
hit the ball straight and putt
well.
To put it another way,
straying off the rough-lined
fairways spells disaster at the
par-71 6,968-yard Royal Birk-
dale links course, which has
undergone a few changes since
Johnny Miller won the last Open
here seven years ago.
After his only pre
tournament practice round, Lee
Trevino, the 1971 champion-
,suggested the alterations made
little difference. That might
have been because he came
straight from a 3-shot victory at
the Canadian Open in fine
form, untroubled by his peren
nial back problem, and played
an encouraging round.
When Trevino, 43, is his old
self on the course, the jokes,
perhaps a little old themselves,
come rolling out.
He left the course intending
to rest Wednesday -“I might go
to the beach and get a tan” be
fore launching his challenge at
the $465,000 tournament
Thursday.
Trevino will be faced by the
45-yard first, a par 4 that pro
vides a tough start, and probably
All a golfer has to do to

ship is to hit the ball

will set the tone of the round for
many players.
The second, a 423-yard par 4,
offers the first opportunity for a
birdie, but there is willow scrub
behind the green waiting for the
overhit approach.
The third and fourth prob
ably will play to their respective
4 and 3-stroke pars, while the
fifth, 343 yards, has a righthand
elbow, but offers a birdie chance
after a well-placed iron off the
tee.
By the time a golfer reaches
the sixth tee, he should know
how well he is playing on the
day. Once he has hit his drive at
the sixth, he will know how accu
rately he is playing.
There is a dogleg to the right,
and now a small gap for the
ambitious, accurate driver to
aim at. Most will opt for safety
off the tee, Jack Nicklaus among
them.
Seven years ago, the Golden
Bear’s last-round challenge en
ded in a six at the hole, which is
widely regarded as the most dif
ficult on the courjse.
Correct judgment of the wind
offers a birdie chance from an
elevated tee at the par-3 150-
yard seventh, while the eighth
oilers a chance for long driving
to claim a par 4.
The 4 10-yard ninth should be
played down the right, with an
accurate approach. Any error
would leave par 4 to complete an
outward par 34 very difficult to
retrieve.
The 12th can be a fine friend
or a fierce foe.
The next hole starts the long
slog home, although the three
par fives — the 13th, 15th and
17th — offer birdie chances.
There are dunes, bunkers and
ditches to be overcome.
With the clubhouse in sight,
any player needing to match par
4 on the 473-yard 1 8th has plen
ty to think about. The tee has
been moved to the right, creat
ing a right-hand elbow in the
fairway. A player must decide
whether to go for position and a
longer approach, or carry a
bunker on the right, flirting with
an area out of bounds, to shor
ten the shot to the green.
