Tway, usually a self-contained, al most stone-faced young man, leaped high into the air, punching his right fist into the air in delight as his shot fell inter the cup and deprived Nor man of his second Grand Slam title this summer. Tway, in only his second season on the PGA Tour, won the last of the season’s four majors, with a scram bling final-round 70 and completed the 72 holes in 276. That’s eight shots under par on the Inverness Club course that did not yield a subpar total for 72 holes in the four times it hosted the U.S. Open. Norman, the British Open cham pion and all but conceded this title when he took a four-stroke lead through 54 holes, saw probable vic tory turn to grim defeat for the third time in a major this year. After Tway’s dramatic shot on the 18th, Norman missed a chip from the deep greenside rough that would have tied him for the lead, bo- geying the hole and finishing at 278. The wheels simply came off for Norman who had played so well so often this season and had gone through the first three rounds of the PGA with only two bogeys. It was a struggle throughout the final day as Norman finished with a 5-over-par 76. The victory, Tway’s first in a ma jor, was worth $140,000 from the to tal purse of $800,000 and lifted his season’s earnings to $600,005 for the year. That’s still second on the money winning list to Norman, who has earned $644,729, but it made Tway the first four-time winner this year and put him in position to challenge See Tway, page 8 Former Ag wins 100 butterfly Former Texas A&M swimmer Chris O’Neil won the 100-meter but terfly competition at the United States Swimming Long Course Championships Friday night in Santa Clara, Calif. O’Neil, who will act as an assistant coach at A&M this year, won the event with a time of 54.69 seconds to claim his first national title. In an upset, Aggie signee Susan Habermas of Gaithersburg, Md., won the 200 freestyle in 2 minutes, 2.52 seconds. A&M Swimming Coach Mel Nash said her time was a full six seconds faster than her pre vious best, and would have been just 0.1 seconds off the clocking needed to make the World Games team. Habermas finished third in the 200 at the U.S. Olympic Festival. Another A&M signee, Michelle Chow of Monroeville, Penn., placed 13th in the 50-meter freestyle with a 26.86. Nash said that time was 0.6 quicker than her previous best, which is a significant drop in such a short race. A&M junior David Kohel finished 23rd in the men’s 200 with a 1:54.53. He later swam a 1:54-13 in a time trial, which would have been good enough to make the consolation competition. Aggie Notes. . . The city of Hunt sville, Ala., will be celebrating “Chris O’Neil Day” Friday in honor of its hometown four-time All-America. A&M's Heard grabs 200 win Texas A&M sophomore sprinter Floyd Heard began another 200-me- ter dash win streak, over the week end as he took the event in the Inter- national Amateur Athletic Federation Grand Prix track meet in London Friday. Heard, who had a four-win streak in the 200 snapped by Houston’s Kirk Baptiste in the U.S. Olympic Festival, beat Canada’s Ben Johnson to the tape with a time of 20.77 sec onds.
