Palmer still king,
says competitor
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Arnold
Palmer, breaking into the PGA Se
niors Tour victory circle after a
three-year drought, was the class of
the field, one of his chief compet
itors says.
“The king is back,” defending
Crestar Classic champion Larry
Mowry said Sunday after Palmer fin
ished the three-day tournament with
a 203 score, one stroke shy of the re
cord for the 6-year-old event. “Long
live the king.”
Palmer, 59, led from Friday’s
opening birdie and closed with a 70
to win by four strokes over Mowry,
Jim Ferree, Lee Elder and George
Canning. Canning, who began the fi
nal day 11 strokes back, had a clos
ing 64 to set a tournament record
over the 6,644-yard Hermitage
Country Club course.
“When you haven’t won in a cou
ple of years, a lot of things go
through your mind,” said Palmer,
whose last win came in the Senior
TPC in June 1985. “You wonder
why you haven’t won, if you’re ever
going to win again.”
But Palmer shot a 65 in the open
ing round and a 68 on Saturday. Af
ter that, he said, “I felt confident,
like I was playing well and felt physi
cally well. I wanted to win very badly
and I felt if I didn’t make any bad
mistakes, I could.”
Palmer, who has 61 PGA Tour
victories, including four Masters
wins, picked up $48,750 here. It was
his 10th Senior PGA win, but he has
played in only 13 events this year.
Still, he has earned $115,366.
“Sometimes you get so wrapped
up in business,” said Palmer. “My
golf, even though it’s First, some
times gets second billing.
“On the other hand, I never
thought I’d be playing as much se
rious golf as I am now.”
Palmer last won at the Senior
Tournament Players Championship
in 1985. But he captained the victo
rious U.S. team at the Chrysler Cup
team competition in 1986.
The Army, Palmer’s legion of
fans, hasn’t diminished in size or
dedication. Palmer said he gets a lot
of inspiration from his loyal fans.
“To see them out there gives me
so much of a boost,” he said. “The
galleries have been so fantastic over
the years.
“Call it an army or gallery, they’ve
just been so good to me over the
years and it means so much to have
them there cheering me on.”

mania. No, Evans said, she was not
overly impressed with the strength
of the Eastern Europeans.
“They’re just ordinary people,
and I train just as hard as them, so I
don’t see why I should be intim
idated,” she said.
She had an easy time, winning in 4
minutes, 37.76 seconds, well off the
world record of 4:36.10 by Petra
Schneider of East Germany but bet
ter than her own American mark of
4:38.58.
Lung was second in 4:39.46, and
Daniela Hunger of East Germany
won the bronze in 4:39.76.
Biondi thought he had won his
race, the 200-meter freestyle, but
Australian Duncan Armstrong rode
Biondi’s wake to a world record time
and the gold medal.
“You know, I feel really good
about what happened,” Biondi said.
“I swam my race. ... and that’s what I
needed to do here. And I think I
swam good enough to win. Ob
viously, it wasn’t good enough.”
Armstrong’s time was 1:47.25,
bettering the world mark of 1:47.44
by Michael Gross of West Germany
in the 1984 Olympics. Anders Hol-
mertz of Sweden won the silver in
1:47.89, and Biondi finished in
1:47.99. Gross was fifth.
On Tuesday, he was timed in
53.46, edging out Gross in the same
butterfly heat. Gross’ time was 53.78.
American boxers lost two of their
best fighters in two days — Kelcie
Banks on a first-round knockout
Sunday and Anthony Hembrick on
Monday when he missed his bout
with South Korean Ha Jong-ho. Ha’s
hand was risen in victory just as
Hembrick and Coach Ken Adams
came rushing into the boxing arena.
Adams took the blame for the mix
up, similar to one that cost two
American sprinters a chance for
medals at the 1972 Munich Games.
Adams said he thought Hembrick,
the team captain, was fighting 11th
in the morning session. He was actu
ally up fifth.
“We had no idea it was that close
to the time,” Adams said.
Making matters worse, Adams
said, they were prevented from
boarding a bus to the venue because
it was full.
Jim Fox, executive director of
USA-Amateur Boxing Federation,
said when Hembrick and Adams got
to the 10 a.m. bus, they were told to
wait because it was full. The next bus
came in a half hour, and they got to
the ring five minutes after the South
Korean had been awarded the vic
tory. •
Two South Koreans acting as bus
dispatchers said it was not true that
the boxer and his coach were pre
vented from getting on the bus.
“They say different things with
the one mouth,” dispatcher Gae
Hee-pai said. “They were late be
cause they got to the bus too late.”
An appeal of the decision was
turned down by the International
Boxing Federation.
Louganis
(Continued from page 12)
The judges responded with 87.12 —
the highest score awarded in the
competition.
His entry into the water was near
perfect and whisper-quiet, some
thing that must have been a source
of great joy at the moment, some
thing that must be a source of great
strength whenever Louganis re
members how he came into this
world.
and adopted soon after by a couple
from nearby El Cajun, Calif., Louga
nis was a tap-dancing virtuoso at 6,
an accomplished gymnast and diver
at 10, but a difficult and withdrawn
dyslexic only a few years later.
For if champions must know ad
versity before they know success,
then this champion was primed
from childhood.
Born 28 years ago to an unmar
ried pair of San Diego teen-agers
By the time he reached junior
high school — his problem still un
diagnosed — he was struggling
mightily inside the classroom and
outside it, taking solace in drugs and
sips before lunch from a bottle of li
quor hidden in his locker.
But there was always the pool and
its diving board, the place where he
could slip those troublesome bonds,
the place Louganis still refers to as
“my sanctuary.”
