IN THE MEMORIAL STUDENT CENTER
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Bob
Tway holed a bunker shot on the
72nd hole and beat collapsing Greg
Norman by two strokes Monday in
the day-late windup to the 68th PGA
National Championship.
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

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. The meet at London’s Crystal
Advertising in The Battalion
is as
Good as Gold!
