Texas’ Mays hurt;

AUSTIN (AP) — Texas Long

doubts guard Travis Mays will be
ready to play against Houston
Tuesday night.
Mays, Texas’ all-time top
scorer who leads the Southwest
Conference with a 24.8 average,
sat on the bench with an injury to
his shooting hand as his team
mates struggled past Rice 96-84
Saturday night.
Mays hyperextended his right
index finger when he tried to
brace a fall just before halftime in
Thursday night’s 109-100 loss to
Arkansas. He sat out the second
half against the Razorback$, fin
ishing with one point.
“His hand is better, but it’s still
sore,” Penders said. “I seriously
doubt he will play Tuesday.”

shirt and a Panama hat, Mays

Armour sizzles in Phoenix, wins U.S. Open
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) —
Tommy Armour III, the husky
grandson of one of golfs legendary
figures, scored a five-stroke victory
in the Phoenix Open on Sunday for
his first PGA Tour victory.
The younger Armour, who led or
shared the lead all the way, quickly
made the tournament a race for sec
ond place with his 3-under-par 68
over the final 18 holes at the TPC of
Scottsdale.
He led by three strokes when the
day’s play started, by four after two
holes, by five after six and held a
minimum five-shot lead over the
back nine.
Armour, 30, who played around
the world in the six-year period he
was unable to qualify for his Ameri
can playing rights, had a 267 total,
17 strokes under par.
The victory — only his second in
10 years as a professional — was
worth $162,000 from the total purse
of $900,000.
It was, by far, the largest check of
a career that included non-winning
three-season stints on both the Asian
and European tours. His only pre
vious professional title was the 1983
Mexican Open.
Armour’s grandfather, the great
Silver Scot, won the U.S. and British
Opens and the PGA between 1927
and 1931 and was one of the game’s
premier teachers and club designers.
Success did not come easily to his
namesake grandson, however.
The younger Armour, who said
he met his famous grandfather only
once, lost his Tour playing rights
due to lack of performance after the
1981 season. He played in dozens of
countries in Asia and Europe before
regaining his PGA Tour card in
1987.
His best previous American per
formance were a pair of runner-up
finishes, one in 1988, one last year.
But there was little doubt about
this one.
Armour, trailed by wife Helena
and infant son Tommy IV, played
the front side in a blistering 31, four
under par.

By tne
the turn, only one man, Jim Thorpe,

away leader.
At that point it was no longer a
question of “Who?” but “How
many?” and, with the Super Bowl
telecast a couple of hours away, hun
dreds of spectators began to stream
through exits to the parking lots.
Armour’s only lapse came on the
16th hole, where he was bunkered,
came out long and two-putted for a
bogey that made no difference at all.
quarter to earn yet another spot in
the record book.
Fullback Tom Rathman also
scored twice, on runs of 1 and 4
yards. And Roger Graig had a 1-
yard TD run.
In fact, just about everything [fiat
happened had some historical signif
icance.
Rice’s three touchdown catches set
a Super Bowl record and gave him
four overall, tying Franco Harris of
those great Steeler teams for career
touchdown catches in a Super Bowl.
Rice’s three touchdowns also tied —
who else? — teammate Craig, who
had three in the 1985 game.
But none of that was new for
Denver, which two years ago lost to
Washington in a game in which the
Redskins set a record for setting re
cords. This year, Denver ap
proached that — the 24-point half
time margin was the second largest
only to the 35-10 margin by which
the Broncos trailed Washington two
years ago.
Not that it wasn’t expected, al
though San Francisco’s win was the
first since 1973 over Denver in a
game that counted.
