Sutton thankful to Bear for title
Martin, Hill escai
United Press International
PACIFIC PALISADES, Calif.
— The ghost of two weeks past
hovered over his shoulder and
forced Hal Sutton to remember
the most miserable experience
of his golfing career.
It was in July in Williams
burg, Va. at the Kingsmill Golf
Club. Sutton rode into the final
round of the $350,000 tourna
ment with what seemed to be an
unbeatable six-stroke lead. He
then folded quicker than a lawn
chair, handing Calvin Peete the
victory.
Sunday, in the final round of
the 65th PGA Championship,
Sutton surged to a five-stroke
lead with seven holes left. And
once again, he began coming
apart at the seams. Three con
secutive bogeys cut his advan
tage to a mere stroke over the
charging Jack Nicklaus.
“Hard to swing a golf club
with one hand wrapped around
your throat,” a press tent obser
ver laughed.
This time, however, the 25-
year-old Sutton had the last
laugh.
He regained his composure
and parred the final four holes
and won the biggest tournament
of his life by a stroke.
“I thought about Williams
burg all week,” Sutton said.
“And I really thought about it
after the third straight bogey to
day. But I just told myself that it
wasn’t going to happen to me
again.”
Sutton’s final-round 71,
even-par over the tough Riviera
Country Club layout, gave him a
10-under-par 274 for the tour
nament and made him only the
fifth wire-to-wire winner in the
tournament’s history. Nicklaus
began the final round a whop
ping six strokes behind the lead
er but closed with a brilliant 66,
forcing Sutton’s blood pressure
sky high.
As Nicklaus made his charge,
pulling within a shot with a bir
die on No. 16, the gallery re
sponded with deafening cheers
that rolled across the fairways
and collided with Sutton’s ears.
“The crowd wasn’t the only
one that knew the Bear was com
ing,” Sutton said. “I didn’t need
them to tell me that. The fact
that it was Jack making a move
really had me concerned.”
Sutton blamed his near
collapse to a sub-conscious
change in tactics.
“I went from playing aggres
sively to playing conservatively
and it got me three straight
bogeys,” he said. “I didn’t intend
to do that, but I had a five-shot
lead at the time and I think I let
up a little bit.”
“I want to thank the PGA and
all the volunteers and members
of Riviera who let us play their
course,” Sutton said afterward.
“And I also want to thank Jack

Matthews, who hit .301 and

the Phillies following a trade

year-old left fielder had been in

four hits as the Phillies extended
their winning streak to five and

Schmidt slugged a pair of
home runs following singles by
Matthews to take over the ma

26.
“I’ve been thinking a bit too

In the only other NL game,
surging New York edged Mon

The Phillies pounded reliever
Cecilio Guante for five more
runs in the fifth as Bo Diaz sing
led home a pair, Maddox
stroked a two-run double and
Ivan Dejesus doubled home
another run.
At Montreal, rookie Darryl
Strawberry tripled in the 10th
inning and scored on reliever
Jeff Reardon’s errant pickoff
throw, leading the Mets to their
fourth straight victory. With one
out, Strawberry tripled to deep
center and Bob Bailor was
walked intentionally. Reardon,
5-6, tried to pick Bailor off first,
but his throw sailed by A1 Oliver
and into the Montreal dugout as
Strawberry scored.
Schmidt added a three-run
homer in the seventh after a
Dale Berra throwing error and
Matthews’ fourth hit. Pittsburgh
scored in the sixth on Thomp

Wynne homered in the eighth
for the Pirates’ final run.

Tampa Bay’s Williams may

For years, Doug Williams was
known as the fastest “gun” in the
National Football League. So it
seems only appropriate that the
rifle-armed quarterback may
soon be an Outlaw.

announce the signing of Wil

reported to the Tampa Bay Buc
caneers’ training camp due to a
contract dispute.
Williams came to Tampa Bay
from Grambling University, and
prospered, becoming the only
starting black quarterback in the

United Press International
SAN ANGELO — At 6-foot-3
and 275 pounds, professional
football is probably the only
place Houston Oilers offensive
guard Mike Munchak might
have trouble getting respect.
But in only his second season,
the Penn State product is
already being touted as an all-
pro player by his teammates.
Sixteen-year veteran defen
sive end Elvin Bethea said only
half jokingly: “The kid’s got no
respect for age. As a rookie last
season, he wanted to show he
could play. I wanted to show I
could still play at my age.
Bingham has had plenty of
chances to line up against Mun
chak in training camp.
“Most guards feel like if they
op you, that’s enough,” Bing-
said. “But Munchak hits
you, keeps his legs moving and
drives through you. You have to
use every available resource or
he’ll run right over you."

“Right now, Munchak’s an

Some people think Munchak
is already one of the finest — if
not the finest — offensive
guards in the game.
Head Coach Ed Biles com
pares his the prize lineman to

“I think he’s (Munchak is)
further along at this stage of his
career than Hannah was. Mun

said.
“I’ll be very disappointed if
he doesn’t make all-pro within
two years,” Oilers middle guard
Mike Stensrud says. “He’s got
