Pro golfer returns to alma mater
By Steve Mims
Ot^fori IX-*^y limefakl
The groat cut golfer in the Uni
versity's history returned to
Eugene Wednesday to try and
sell a few books.
Peter Jacobsen. who was in
town to sign copies of his new
book /tuned hex Tall Tales and
True Stories from the PGA Tour.
said Eugene has changed little in
the 15 years since he graduated.
"Eugene is pretty much the
same," Jacobsen said. "The only
thing is that there is more
grunge than when I was here.
The kids are the same; college is
the lime of your life when you
can let your 'Freak Flag Fly'. I
think the band Nirvana has had
a big impact on college kids, but
that's OK."
Jacobsen played on the Ore
gon golf team from 1973-76 and
was a three-lime All-American
for the Ducks. Jacobsen won the
Pacific-8 Conference champi
onship in 1974 and 1976, and
lias had more success on the
PGA Tour than any other golfer
to come out of Oregon.
"The four years 1 played golf
at Oregon were some of the
greatest years of my life," Jacob
sen said "1 still follow the Ore
gon golf team closely every
year."
Jacobsen has also taken an
active role for the Ducks by
helping the men's and women’s
golf teams with instruction and
fundraising, as well as donating
equipment.
Jacobsen's new book is filled
with stories and anecdotes about
his IB years on the PGA Tour.
He said he tried to make the
book as funny ns possible, rather
than fill it with dirt on other
players on the Tour.
"If people want dirt they
should rend the National
Enquirer, The Sun or People
magazine,** Jacobsen said "The
book has been doing well and
I'm happy with it."
Jacobsen is coming off a tough
1992 season when he came
down with a mysterious illness,
followed by the death of his
father in the summer. This year
Jacobsen is playing on the Tour,
as well as announcing tourna
ments for ABC. Jacobsen is also
busy running his golf course,
The Oregon Golf Club, and his
promotion company. Peter
Jacobsen Productions.
"I^ast year I had a crazy illness
where I was very disoriented,"
Jacobsen said. "Whenever I
would walk or hit a golf hall 1
became dizzy: I found out it was
a dairy allergy. The first six
months of last year I was off my
game, and then when my dad
died in July. I was not able to
rebound."
Jnr.obsen said that writing the
book helped put his life in per
spective, and made him realize
how much he loves golf
“You see a lot of problems in
sports today." Jacobsen said.
"The reason baseball is dying is
because players don't rare about
the game, they care about their
contract We don't have con
tracts; you get paid by how well
you score The guys I learned
the gome from talk about the
game - they don't care about
how much they get paid - they
just love the game."
Jacobsen's hook is filled with
many stories, hut the one that
has received the most attention
is about his brother. Paul, who
died of AIDS in 1988. Jacobsen
said the loss of his brother has
made him more aware of AIDS
and how people approach the
topic.
“When my brother died, AIDS
was not as topical as it was
today," Jacobsen said. "Now it
has become newsworthy. In
1988 me and my brother David
did not want to talk about Paul's
death because of our children
and the stigma that can go along
with it. Kids can be cruel and I
did not want this to fall back on
them.”
Jacobsen said that he hopes
his health will allow him to play
golf for the rest of his life.
"Maybe I will play another 17
years." Jacobsen said. "Then I
will have played 34 years and 1
will probably die from clogged
arteries caused by eating too
many Big Macs and french fries.
I plan to play until they don't
play anymore or until ! drive
everyone crazy."
McHale’s career ends in Charlotte
CHARLOTTE. N C. (AI») —
After four seasons of failure and
frustration, the Charlotte Hornets
are finally gutting to savor their
first taste of playoff success.
The Hornets eliminated the
Boston Celtics and ended the
career of Kevin McHale with a
104-103 victory Wednesday
night, moving them Into the sec
ond round of the playoffs.
Alonzo Mourning. Charlotte's
No. 1 draft pick last June,
returned the biggest dividend in
Hornet history by sinking a
jumper from the top of the key
with 0.4 seconds left for the
game-winner.
"1 don't think anything can
compare to this." said Mounting
when asked if he could remem
ber a bigger moment in his career.
"The only thing that compares to
this is rue getting the chance just
to play the game of basketball. Me
being blessed with this body, this
mind and these talents."
After losing the first game of
the lrest-of-5 series, the Hornets
came liai k to win the next three
in their first-ever playoff appear
ance.
The dramatic loss marked the
end of McHale's 13-year career.
One of only two players from the
Celtics' championship teams of
the 1980s who's still with the
team. McHale. a seven-time All
Star, played a reserve role in his
71 games this year

Ht> finished with 19 points and
six rebounds Wednesday, and
Mourning and several Hornet
players hugged him once the
game ended.
And what an ending it was.
Mourning, who scored 33
points and made 15 of 1H free
throws, took an inbounds pass
from Dell Curry, dribbled once
and swished a shot from behind
the college 3-point line, setting
off a midcourt celebration.
Mourning had made only 11 of
42 3-pointers while at George
town.
"The play was designed to go
to Dell, but we couldn't get it
inbounds." Mourning said. "So
I just spread it out. took one drib
ble. squared up and took the shot.
Fortunately, the hall fell through
the hole. I ( all it a lucky shot."
Lucky, yes. but not the last
shot lust enough time remained
on the clock to give Boston one
last chance.
From midcourt. McHale tossed
an alley-oop pass toward Dee
Brown, but Brown's shot glanced
off the side of the rim.
"It was definitely them."
Boston coach Chris Ford said
"We ran that lob three times dur
ing the game and it was there all
three times. We had great execu
tion on the play.
"The inboutids pass was per
fect and Dee was in the right posi
tion," Ford said, "it just didn't
go. End of story."
It was the end. except for a
vehement protest from Ford and
the Celtics, who claimed the shot
had been goaltended by Kendall
Gill. Television replays seemed
to support their claim.
The Celtics took a 103-102 lead
when Sherman Douglas stripped
Mourning and raced in for a
layup with 42.7 seconds to play,
capping Boston's comeback from
a 19-point fourth-quarter deficit.
