Watson breaks 3-year dry spell
with Nabisco Championship win
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —It was,
Tom Watson said, the most difficult
victory of his career.
“Winning your first tournament is
tough. The comeback is tougher,”
Watson said Sunday after he battled
quivering nerves and an elite, 30-
man field of golfs greatest players
for his first victory in more than
three years.
It came with a last-hole birdie
flourish in the Nabisco Champion
ships of Golf, the richest tournament
the sport has ever seen.
“Walking up 18, I’m thinking two
things — wondering what kind of
putt I have, and can I get it down in
two,” Watson said.
Then he saw the 8-footer and
“I’m thinking, what the hell are you
doing trying to two-putt from 8 feet.
Knock it in.”
He did.
And he was a winner again, end
ing one of the most puzzling slumps
in the game’s history.
Watson, a five-time British Open
champion and holder of a record six
Player of the Year titles, had not won
sincejuly 1984.
“Desire, talent, putting, all were
tied together” in that slump, he said.
“But I never gave up on myself. I
knew I’d win.”
Then he flashed that boyish grin.
“Well, maybe I had some doubts
about a year ago,” he said. Then he
was called to a telephone for a call
from wife, Linda.
“Whaddaya think?” Watson said.
“We did it. Yeah, we did it.”
But it wasn’t easy.
Although he led all the way and
was armed with a four-shot lead on
the back nine, he admitted he felt
the pressure.
“The nerves took hold,” he said.
“When I was winning all the time,
I’d be expecting to win in that posi
tion. Today, I was hoping to win.
“I was nervous. I was pacing, like
a leopard in some hunter’s gun-
sights.”
The victory was the 32nd of Wat
son’s PGA Tour career, a total that
does not include his five British
Open titles.
“I’m about the happiest guy in the
whole world,” he said.
“After three years of frustration,
three years of questions, three years
of dealing with the questions and
frustrations, dealing with the inter
nal questions . . . .”
They all ended with his hard-won,
final-round 2-under-par 68 and a
268 winning total, 12 shots under
par, for a two-stroke victory over
Chip Beck.
It was worth $360,000 from the
enormous purse, plus $24,000 from
the Grand Prix.
“The money never was a factor.
The victory is much more impor
tant. That’s what I’m out here trying
to do, win golf tournaments,” Wat
son said.
The tournament carried a $2 mil
lion purse, plus another $1 million
for the Nabisco Grand Prix of Golf,
which also ended in this tourna
ment.
Despite finishing dead last, Curtis
Strange took the season’s money
winning title with a record $925,941.
But the honor he wanted —
Player of the Year — eluded him.
That went to Paul Azinger, a three
time winner like Strange this season.
In a tournament that offered al
most 10 percent of the total tour
purse for 1987, the Player of the
Year title turned on scoring average,
Strange’s 293 total for this event
knocked him out of the Top 10 in
scoring average and handed the title
to Azinger.
No one handed the title to Wat
son, however. He was never headed,
never tied. But it was not easy. It was
a grim, tight-lipped struggle with
himself over the last few holes at the
Oak Hills Country Club course.
Armed with a four-shot lead, Wat
son began to struggle on the 14th
hole.
He missed the green on the next
four holes, bogeying the 16th. On
the I4th, 15th and 17th he put his
new-found confidence in his putter
to the test. And it was not wanting.
Spurs' Robertson, Berry exchange blows
when practice confrontation escalates
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — San An
tonio Spurs players Alvin Robertson
and Walter Berry fought on the way
to a road game after a squabble
erupted into violence, the San Anto
nio Express-News reported Sunday.
Neither player was hurt seriously
and both were expected to play Sun
day in the team’s final exhibition
game against the Sacramento Kings
in Shelby, Mont., General Manager
Bob Bass said.
Witnesses said that during the
fight at the Red Lion Village Inn in
Missoula, Mont., Berry picked up a
kitchen knife and reportedly threat
ened Robertson with it.
The fight was fueled Saturday
morning when Robertson, a 6-foot-
4, 190-pound guard, chided Berry
for sitting out the practice. Berry, a
6-8, 215-pound forward, iced down
his right knee during the workout.
The kidding later erupted into vi
olence in Berry’s room and out into
the second-floor corridor about 15
minutes before the team bus was
scheduled to depart for Great Falls.
The players were pulled apart by
another team member.
The tension between Berry and
Robertson was evident as the players
boarded the team bus, the San Anto
nio Express-News reported.
Bass had to stand between Rob
ertson and Berry on the bus as the
two players exchanged further re
marks.
“He pulled a knife on me,” Rob
ertson said.
“My face is all right. I’m still pre
tty,” Berry said.
Bass said he calmed both players
by warning them that they could be
fined or suspended if the incident
was escalated.
The newspaper reported that
Bass held all the players on the bus
for about six minutes at Great Falls
and warned them about making any
comments to the media.
“This was a major incident,” said
Bass. “It was a token type thing until
it escalated into a real problem. I
don’t know how many punches were
thrown.”
“The knife was not a weapon, a
switchblade, it was just a kitchen
knife that was on the table. This can
be a very divisive incident, but I still
believe the two can play together,
Bass said.
The pair will be assessed minor
fines for “horseplay,” Bass said.
Spurs coach Bob Weiss said he did
not plan to investigate the incident.
“I don’t want to know any of the
gory details,” Weiss said. “I just want
it over with.”
