Price takes British Open title 75-foot eagle putt on 1 7th gives win over Parnevik Wmm 1 Monday •July 18, 1994 TURNBERRY, Scotland (AP) — Nick Price rolled in a 75-foot eagle putt on the 17th hole Sunday to win a British Open championship that only moments earlier seemed to be in the hands of Jesper Parnevik. Price, twice a runner-up in the British Open, appeared headed for a second-place fin ish when Parnevik birdied five holes on the back nine to get to 12-under par after No. 17. But the 29-year-old Swede bogeyed the 18th when he mis takenly thought he needed a birdie on the final hole to win. He found the rough twice and missed an 8-foot par putt, giv ing Price his chance. Parnevik then watched on television as Price rolled in his long eagle putt, burying his head in his left hand as the ball dropped. Price then got the par on 18 that eluded Parnevik for a 4- under-par 66 on the day and 12-under-par 268 for the tour nament, one stroke better than Parnevik. It was the same score posted by Tom Watson when he won the British Open on this Ailsa Course at Turnberry in 1977. Watson’s determined drive for a record-tying sixth British Open championship ended with consecutive double bogeys at Nos. 8 and 9. He shot a 4-over-par 74 and finished at 4-under 276, eight strokes behind Price. Fuzzy Zoeller, trying to be come one of only nine golfers to win three different major championships, was third at 271. It was sweet revenge for Price, who twice had a chance to win the world’s oldest golf tournament only to finish be hind Watson in 1982 and Seve Ballesteros in 1988. “I waited a long time for this,” the 37-year-old native of Zimbabwe said. “I guess 12 years now,” since the 1982 loss. “I’ve been patient,” he said. “In the back of my mind I al ways thought I would have a chance. I hit some squirrelly shots. But I played well when I needed to.” He did it with a round of two bogeys, four birdies and the ea gle at 17 that seemed to take forever to get to the hole.

But what happened before the Dallas Cow boys’ annual Blue-White scrimmage Sunday gave Barry Switzer his biggest fright since he became head coach. “It scared hell out of me,” was Switzer’s re action to a bizarre accident on the St. Ed ward’s University campus before the scrim mage at nearby Nelson Field. Running back Emmitt Smith, the NFL’s Most Valuable player and Super Bowl MVP, suffered a slight head injury in an accident involving a John Deere semi tractor four-wheeler called a “Gator Buggy.” Smith went to a local hospital for treatment and missed the scrim mage, He was later released and doctors said he was fine. Smith was dumped hard on the ground when the rig driven by full back Tommie Agee hit Ray Jones, the 63-year- old unofficial mascot of the Cowboys called “Crazy Ray.” “Emmitt’s deal gave me a big scare,” Switzer said. “We had a great scrimmage today and the only one who got hurt was on one of those Gator things. It was a good day except for that.” Quarterback Troy Aikman showed he was in mid-season form on his first pass, connecting with Alvin Harper on a 44-yard pass on the first play from scrimmage. Aikman later threw a five-yard touchdown pass to tight end Jay Novacek. The offense pro duced only one other touchdown on a one-yard run by rookie Tony Richardson of Auburn. “Troy showed what kind of a player he is,” Switzer said. “He was just great.” Aikman said “I think we got a lot done for a scrimmage this early. Blue-White scrim mages in the past were usually pretty ugly for the offense. We certainly have a lot of room for improvement and I think we did OK.” Aikman said the Smith incident gave the team some concern. ‘Emmitt is going to be fine,” Aikman said. “I hope we’ve seen the last of the injuries from those Gators. Now we know why they call “Crazy Ray, Crazy Ray.” Aikman said the warning on the Gator should slow his team mates down when they drive them. The warning says: “Rid ers can fall off and be killed.” “We’re going to have to take some precau tions,” Aikman said. One of the biggest plays of the day came from rookie running back Mark Mason of Maryland, who cut loose for a 60-yard run. “That’s what rookies have to do, come out and prove themselves,” Aikman said. “It’s important for guys to take advantage of the chance they’ve got. Mason did. It was a tremendous run.” Astros blank Pirates Eight run third fuels Houston blowout For Rent For Rent For Rent .^OQD [a * Large 3 Bedroom/2 Bath * On Shuttle Bus Route Close To A & M Consolidated * Quiet Wooded Setting * Adjacent to Parks * Beginning at $900/Mo.

Services PITTSBURGH (AP) — Steve Finley’s grand slam featured an eight-run second inning and Shane Reynolds pitched seven scoreless relief innings after Doug Drabek was injured, lead ing the Houston Astros to an 9- 0 victory Sunday over the Pitts burgh Pirates. The Astros couldn’t win Fri day despite a seven-run first in ning, but there was no Pirates’ comeback this time as Drabek and Reynolds (7-4) combined on a five-hit shutout. The Astros split the four- game series despite losing the first two games, including the 11-8 Ipss on Friday that saw them blow an eight-run edge. Drabek, a former Pirate, had pitched two scoreless innings before being hit by Paul Wagn er’s fastball just above the right elbow while squaring to bunt with Orlando Miller on first in the third.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Dave Stewart, struggling with a 9.42 ERA over his previous three starts, shut down Texas on four hits over seven innings Sunday night to send the Toron to Blue Jays to a 3-1 victory the Rangers. Stewart (6-8) snapped a per sonal three-game losing streak, retiring the first 13 Rangers be fore Juan Gonzalez hit his 14th homer into the upper deck in left. Darren Hall pitched the ninth for his ninth save. Stewart struck out eight and didn’t yield a walk, helping the Blue Jays to their first victory ever against Rangers starter Kenny Rogers (10-5). Rogers en tered the game 6-0 in 32 career appearances against Toronto. Rogers, who’d won eight of his previous nine decisions, al lowed two runs and five hits over seven innings. He struck out seven and walked three.

As manager Terry Collins and trainer Dave Labossiere rushed to the batter’s box, Drabek clutched his elbow for several seconds before picking up his batting helmet and slamming it to the ground in disgust. Pirates manager Jim Ley- land argued briefly that Drabek, a former Pirate, swung at the pitch by bunting through it. But home plate umpire Dana Demuth awarded Drabek firifles^ 1 Drabek (10-5), an All-Star, had pitched two hitless in nings.

Despite its growing populari ty, soccer still has many critics who consider the game too slow. Guerrieri said the games’ critics do not know the game. “Most of the people bashing the sport are those who have never watched a game,” he said. “Everyone I’ve talked to said they are pleasantly surprised with the World Cup. They actu ally enjoyed watching the games.” The Cup’s popularity may have spilled over into the U.S. In April a new professional soc cer league will begin play in the United States. Guerrieri said the timing is right for the new league. “If there is any time to start a new league, this is it,” Guerrieri said. Night work, 2am-8am, $5.50 to start.

It was interesting to have some of their big people come and talk to us.” The only other parts of the new conference that are finalized are football and basketball league-divisions. There will be two divisions in football and bas ketball. One division will be the northern teams. The other will be the four former Southwest Conference schools (A&M, Baylor University, the University of Texas and Texas Tech Universi ty), Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. A&M’s new football schedule will include eight conference games, five against division teams and three against teams in the northern division. Groff said in a 4-year span every team in the new conference will come to Kyle Field at least once. Other issues, such as a foot ball playoff, a post-season bas ketball tournament, schedules for all sports and revenue-shar ing are still on the table. Groff said the agenda for the August meeting of athletic direc tors includes making football schedules, marketing and the bowl-coalition situation. The re cent decision by the NCAA to limit the number of New Year’s day bowl games to four could have an effect on the decision to stage a Big 12 football champi onship game, Groff said. “The general feeling right now is that we won’t have a playoff in football,” he said. “If both the Cotton and Orange bowls make it, we could be sending two teams to major bowl games every year. It’s best not to have a playoff so we can have more teams qualify for a national championship.” The amount of negotiations and work involved with creating the new conference is worth it, Groff said, because the move to the Big 12 is a totally positive change for every program on campus. He said all the coaches were enthusiastic and that he has not heard one bad thing. “This new league could easily be the best in the country,” he said. itotorc Drabek leaves game with arm injury in third T his we< from a carefre After ridi: motorcycle f about two w< future held i inly problen 1 have £ balance whil loncrete, so ■ a motorcycle focus.
