when the pressure is off but
can’t pull out the “big one.”
Despite winning 70 tourna
ments worldwide, Norman’s
trophy case is filled with just
two major victories, the 1986
and 1993 British Opens.
Nine times in his career
Norman has finished second
at a major tournament.
He also has the dubious
distinction of losing playoffs
in all four major champi
onships.
Add in a dysfunctional fami
ly and an eyeball gouging or
two, and the poor guy is a
Greek tragedy just waiting to
happen.
The Masters has proven to
be the most frequent site of
the “Shark’s” nosedives.
Three times Norman has
led going into the final round
at Augusta, and three times
he’s collapsed, unraveled, fall
en on his face and pulled the
of choke-a-roo.
Harsh words, I know, but
painfully true.
In 1986, Norman led by one
stroke going into the last day
of play only to lose by a stroke
to Jack Nicklaus.
The following year Larry
Mize broke Norman’s heart
when he holed a miracle, 140-
foot chip shot on the second
playoff hole.
Those second place finish-

last weekend, defeating the
Homed Frogs 13-3, 16-7 and 8-7.
They are hitting .339 for the sea
son and are fielding at an im
pressive .960 clip.
The Aggies have two players
hitting above .400. Junior Johnny
Hunter is leading the team with a
.486 average and freshman Jason
Tyner is second with a .415 mark.

you know, getting so close to Om
aha and having that taken away
in two or three innings.”
While Petru said he wouldn’t
want to be playing baseball
anywhere else, his family does
not share quite the same
sentiments.
“My whole family is total
Longhorns,” Petru said. “Every
one from my uncles to my grand
parents, they’re all Longhorns.
es are almost forgivable, al
most make you feel sorry for
the guy. But this time, Nor
man was the lone captain of
his ill fate, the master of his
doomed soul.
To be specific, he turned
the gun on himself at holes
eight through 12.
Norman’s miscues over
that four-hole stretch pushed
him from three strokes ahead
to two behind.
From there, Dr. Faldo per
formed surgery on the most
difficult course on the planet
— playing his precise, con
trolled, cold-blooded type of
golf for a final round 67 and
his sixth major championship.
The two friends embraced
after the 18th, and Faldo
whispered a few kind words,
which Norman refused to re
veal afterwards in his press
conference.
It was a class move by Fal
do and bit on the dangerous
side — Norman’s luck may be
contagious.
It was painful to watch a
great golfer like Norman have
such a miserable day, and I
sincerely feel for the guy.
However, he can console
himself with the fact that he’s
golf’s greatest money winner
and has millions coming in
from endorsements.
For me, Norman’s frustra
tions are further proof that
the golf is a rotten sport
that should only be played
with a bunch of high school
buddies and a couple of cool
ers full of brew.
Tyner said that the Aggies’
five-game win streak has helped
the team to stay focused on its
remaining games.
“Every game is important right
now, so we’re just taking one
game at a time.” Tyner said. “I
think we’re a little more focused
right now because we know we
only have 13 games left, and we
know we need to win those.”
A&M will return to action
Friday when they travel to
Houston for a three-game series
against Rice at Cameron Field.
We’ve never had an Aggie in the
family at all. I had a choice to
come here or go to Texas, and I
chose here because I really liked
Coach Johnson and the coaching
staff, and the atmosphere when
I came to a game here I thought
was just unreal.
“Just being out here at Olsen-'*
Field with the fans, it just looked
like what I wanted to be a part of.
I thought it was the best thing for
me. When I was growing up, I
wanted to be a Longhorn, then I
came to A&M and saw how every
thing was, I realized this is where
I need to be.”

Traditional Rocket-killer Gary Payton
scored 31 points in Seattle’s win Monday
HOUSTON (AP) — Gary Pay-
ton scored 31 points and had three
steals in the final 1:13 as the Seat
tle SuperSonics beat the Houston
Rockets for the ninth straight time
in the regular season, 112-106
Monday night.
The loss prevented the Rockets
from catching the Los Angeles
Lakers for the No. 4 playoff spot in
the Western Conference and home-
court advantage in the first round
of the playoffs. The Rockets trail
the Lakers by 4 1/2 games with
three games to play.
The Rockets were behind most
of the game but trailed only 106-
104 with 1:13 to go when Payton
grabbed an errant pass and went
the length of the court for a layup
and a 108-104 lead.
He got another steal with 35
seconds to go. After Detlef
Schrempf hit two free throws for a

110-104 lead with 30.6 seconds
left, Payton got the last of his six
steals on an inbounds pass intend
ed for Sam Cassell and drove for
the basket with 26 seconds left.
The Rockets fought uphill most
of the game but finally took the
lead at 97-96 lead with 5:25 to play
on a layup by Hakeem Olajuwon.
It was Houston’s first lead since
3:34 of the second quarter.
Clyde Drexler led Houston with
26 points. Olajuwon had 25 points
for the Rockets, who took their fi
nal lead at 100-99 with 3:45 to go.
