With the temperature hovering
around 32 degrees this past Mon
day, the Texas A&M men’s golf
learn qualified for the Pan American
Intercollegiate Tournament to be
held today through Saturday in
Monterrey, Mexico.
The tourney, held at the Club
Campestre, begins the 1985 season
for the Aggie hnksters under Coach
Bob Ellis. Ellis said consistency will
be the key to his team’s success in
Mexico.
The tournament field features
Southwest Conference foes Arkan
sas and Texas, along with Lamar
and Houston Baptist — teams all
ranked in the nation’s Top 20. The
Traditional SWC power Houston,
ranked No. 1 in the country, will not
compete in the tourney. Ellis’ Aggies
are ranked No. 18 in the polls.
“Our conference is so strong that
we can go out and finish fourth in a
tournament and still have played de
cent,” said Aggie golfer Randy Wy
lie.
Leading the team in to its first ma
jor tournament of the year is junior
Jorge Coghlan. Coghlan, a native of
Mexico, was a member of the 1984
All-America Honorable Mention
team and was named to the All-
Southwest Conference team last sea
son. Ellis said Coghlan is the team’s
most consistent player.
Freshman Flint Nelson, from
Houston, was close to winning a few
tournaments this past fall and
should continue to show im
provement this spring, Ellis said.

SANTA CATERINA, Italy — Di-
ann Roffe, a 17-year-old from Wil
liamson, N.Y., became the first U.S.
womkn ever to win a gold medal in
World Championship Alpine skiing
Wednesday, capturing the giant sla
lom in 2 minutes, 18.53 seconds.
The first-place finish by Roffe
and a third place for teammate Eva
Twardokens gave the U.S. team its
best performance ever in a single
World Championship event and
broke the Swiss hold on the races so
far.
Roffe also became one of the
youngest women ever to win a gold
medal in World Championship Al
pine skiing.
Elistibetn Kirchler of Austria was
second in 2:19.13, as her nation’s
once-mighty team has been held to
only four silver medals. Debbie
Armstrong, the Olympic giAnt sla
lom gold medalist in Sarajevo, came
in fourth in 2:19.26, adding to the
American euphoria. Twardokens’
time was 2:19.21.
“It’s just ^ matter of getting in
there and nailing it,” Roffe siid after
a flawless second run down the 343-

Hawaiian Open Renner's nemisis
Associated Press
HONOLULU — Jack Renner
takes a placid, almost fatalistic view
of his role as a central figure in the
dramatic conclusions of the last two
Hawaiian Open golf tournaments.
“Things seem to happen to me in
this tournament,” Renner said be
fore a practice round for the
$500,000 event that begins Thurs
day on the 6,861-yard, par 72 Waia-
lae Country Club course.
It was something of an under
statement.
Two years ago, Renner was check
ing his card in the scoring tent, as
apparent winner of this title, when
he became the victim of one of the
more dramatic shots of the season.
Isao Aoki holed a full wedge shot
from the rough on the 18th for an
eagle-3 that deprived Renner of the
victory.
Then, last year, it was Renner’s
turn. Wearing his trademark white

a 144-man field that is headed W
Aoki, Levi and 55-year-old Anrf
Palmer, who said he plans to devoi
most of his playing time to theSf
niors Tour this year
“Obviously, in 1983, it simply was
not meant to be,” Renner said.
“And last year it was meant to be.
“You can’t control the actions of
someone else. You have no control
over his game.
“All you can do is play your own
game, play as well as you can for as
long as you can, and then, when you
finish, see where it puts you.”
Among the other leading con]
tenders for the $90,000 first priiij
are Mark O’Meara, winner ol
weekend’s Bing Crosby Pro-An]
Tom Watson, Craig Stadler, Larr
Nelson, Andy Bean and a couple#
former U.S. Open champions, Hall

Last season it put him on the road
to the most successful money-win
ning season of his eight-year pro ca
reer, $260,153. He has played only
twice this young season, with his best
performance an eighth place finish
in the Bob Hope Classic.
