Trevino leads Masters
Scores opening round 67 after missing cut in ’88
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Lee Tre
vino left the Masters last year hang
dog and bitter, and returned Thurs
day the life of the party he dislikes so
much.
Trevino, who has never played
well at Augusta National Golf Club,
shot an opening round 67, 5 under
par and his best round in 18 Masters
appearances.
“If a man came up to me this
morning and offered to bet me I
couldn’t break 76 today, I wouldn’t
have taken one quarter of it. And
fmabetting man,” Trevino said.
He was not alone. He had only
several dozen followers as he and
Jose Marie Olazabal of Spain teed
off, but by the time he finished the
front nine at 4 under par, his follow
ing had swelled to around 15,000.
A year ago, Trevino shot 81 and
83, missed the cut, and a handful of
reporters who saw him off heard
him say he hoped he was not invited
back.
But his on-again-off-again
relationship with the course he re
fused to play in 1970 and 1971 — to
his later regret — changed quickly.
When he got this year’s invitation,
he said, he “returned it the same
day."
Trevino, who still changes his
shoes in the parking lot because he is
uncomfortable with the elitism of
the venerable club, said he still feels
the same way as always about the
course.
Augusta National favors big hit
ters off the tee and right to left shots.
He has never been a long driver, and
he cuts the ball, making for a left-to-
right flight.
“Jack (Nicklaus) was always telling
me I could play this golf course. I
told him once I’ll play you for a
$1,000 Nassau, and you playmy tee
ball and I’ll play yours. He never
said another word,” he said.
Trevino has twice won the other
three major golf tournaments — the
U.S. Open, the British Open and
PGA.
His previous best finish here was a
tie for 10th in 1975 and 1985.
Trevino cited a variety of factors
for his inspired performance in the
opening round, including a happy
family life, the realization that his
Masters qualification via his 1984 vic
tory in the PGA runs out after this
year, and his goal to play more and
better golf in preparation for the Se
nior Tour, which he will join next
year after turning 50.
He said he did not practice put
ting and played only the back nine
during a practice round.
Trevino found a groove, he said,
by hitting 2,000 practice balls and by
seeing a 20-year-old picture of him
self putting that served as a re
minder to keep his right elbow in.
Still, he said, at 49 he must battle
mental lapses, such as hitting shots
on 17 and 18 without factoring in
the strong wind at his back.
“I’ve gone to old addresses before
... forgot that I moved,” Trevino
said.
His previous best round in the
Masters was a 68 he shot in the open
ing round in 1984. He finished 43rd
that year.
Trevino said this year, he is pre
pared for a change of fortune.
“I may come back with three 80s,”
Trevino said. “But this is a confi
dence builder. I did it on a golf
course that has never been suitable
to my game.”
Trevino, of Mexican ancestry and
the only American minority in this
year’s tournament, was oblique in his
general references to the elite Au
gusta National, mindful that he had
said things before he was sorry for
later.
Trevino said he was entertaining
no thoughts about winning the tour
nament.
“If I’m leading Saturday night, 1
might not show up,” Trevino said. “I
might have a heart attack.”
Texas leads

HOUSTON (AP) — Kyle Jerome
shot a three-under-par 69 Thursday
to lead the Texas golf team to a
seven-stroke lead after the first
round of the 35th Annual All-Amer
ican Intercollegiate Invitaional at the
Bear Creek World of Golf.
Ulfar Jonsson of Houston Baptist
also shot a 69 to tie Jerome after the
first day of the tournament.
The Southwest Conference is us
ing the event, along with the Harvey
Penick and Border Olympics tour
naments, to determine its regular-
season champion. Texas leads the
points-system competition with 170
after winning the Border Olympics
tournament and placing third at the
Harvey Penick.
Arkansas and Texas A&M are
tied for second with 135 points.
The Longhorns posted a total of
288 Thursday, with Oklahoma State
and Texas Christian tied for second
at 295. Texas-El Paso is fourth at
296, while Houston and Houston
Baptist are tied at 297.
Arkansas’ Chad Magee, Zoran
Zoric of Houston and TCU’s Kirk
Johnson shot one-under-par 71 to
tie for third place.
Arkansas and Southern Methodist
are tied at 305, followed by Texas
A&M at 308, Baylor at 311, and Rice
and Texas Tech at 314.
Prep hurler uses both arms equally well
FLORESVILLE (AP) — While
mowing down high school batters,
Floresville High School pitcher Billy
Flores pretends his victims are major
leaguers.
“I act like every pitch is like I’m
pitching in the World Series,” Flores
said. “1 get ahead on the count and
just want to strike the batter out.”
But never in his wildest imagina
tion did Flores believe he could turn
in a performance like his 101-pitch
masterpiece March 29, when he
struck out 21 San Antonio Cole bat
ters in a 4-3, seven-inning triumph.
Only two SA Cole players made
outs where they made contact with
the ball. There are only 21 outs in
seven innings, but two batters
reached base on passed balls after
strikeouts.
The victory over Cole was Flores’
fifth straight after a loss to Devine in
the Tigers’ first game of the season.
Flores’ ERA for the season fell to
1.84 after the game. He had 75
strikeouts and 24 walks in 38 in
nings, allowing the opposition only
13 hits.
“I just went out there and
pitched,” Flores said about his per
formance, which raised his strikeout
total for the year to 46 in three 7-in-
ning games.
As amazing as Flores’ strikeout
performance is the fact that he is
also a right-handed throwing fielder
on the days when he doesn't pitch.
When Flores is rested, he is a
right-handed throwing first base-
man or center fielder. Against five
hitters this year, he even pitched
righthanded, although he says he
cannot throw nearly as well that way
as he can left-handed.
“We like to take some of the wear
off of his arm when he’s not pitch
ing,” Floresville Coach John Baker
said. “I’ve talked to him and we don’t
like for him to throw right-handed if
we can help it. But sometimes we’ve
been in jams and had to use him.
He’s almost as consistent with his
right hand as he is with his left.”
The root of his right-handed
TANK M c i\AMAltA
throwing came during his peewee
career when coaches thought Flores
should throw right-handed.
“When I was 9 or 10 years old, my
cousin took me to the tryouts,”
Flores said. “He didn’t know I was
left-handed, so they made me throw
right-handed. I guess it all started
there.”
Flores learned to toss with either
arm, but still feels more comfortable
throwing left-handed.
“He has a good fastball at about
82 or 83 mph, but what really makes
him effective is his breaking pitch,”
Baker said. “I’ve never seen it move
like it did (against Cole).”
