Big One;
MINNEAPOLIS UP1 Bob
Rosburg, the new PGA champion
who finally won "the big one
I've been looking for," wasn't
sure today whether his triumph
came on merit or "little Jerry's
mistakes."
Little Jerry is the 43-year-old,
five-foot, five-inch, 138-pound Jer
ry Barber, who blew the PGA
championship Sunday when he
begeyed the last two holes.
"1 gave the tournament away."
Barber said. "When I put my
approaches on the last two holes
in sand traps, I blew it."
But he didn't take anything
away from the bespectacled Ros
burg, who with three children,
ages eight, seven and six, wanted
to win "a big one" in the hope
he will get a good job with a golf
club so he will be able to spend
more time at home, rather than
travel the tournament golfing
trail. .
"When you shoot a 66 like Bob
did, you deserve to win," Barber
said. "But when it looked like I
had frosting on the cake going to
the 17th hole, it turned out to De
only dough."
. Started Strakts Behind -Rosburg,
who bas been making
his living playing golf since he
turned professional in 1953, was
hit six strokes behind the leading
Barber going into Sunday's final
round. But that four-undcr-par 66
gave him a 72-hole total of 277,
one stroke better than Barber and
Doug Sanders. ' Sanders, one
stroke behind Barber ping jnto
the final round, carded a two-over-par
72 for the second place
champion Dow Finster
wald was fourth at 280. He shot
a fourth round par 70. Tied for
fifth at- 281 were the favored
Mike Souchak, whose nutter failed
him again. Bob Goalby and Ken
Venturi. Next at 282 came Sam

Souchak 'Come in with a t hoover-par

players left in the field, there
were only . three golfers in the

Sanders, who was in the tour

round 72. He lost his chance when
he three-putted from 22 feet on
the 17th hole. - . .

when he bogeyed three of the
first four holes: '

Bevos Bounced From
fop By Double Loss
By United Press International
The Portland Beavers, who had
a brief look at first place in the
Pacific Coast League during the
weekend, returned home tonight
to open a series against red-hot
San Dieco.
Portland went into first place
by one percentage point Saturday
nicht by walloping Salt Lake City
15-5 In a game which saw the
Beavers score nine runs in the
first inning. '
But the Beavers.were dumped
out of the top spot Sunday by
losing a double-header to Salt
Lake City, 6-1 and 4-1. Portland
is now 14 games behind pace
setting Sacramento.
San Diego defeated Vancouver
twice Sunday 3-1 and 5-4 to move
its winning streak to nine straight
Sacramento moved back into first
and Phoenix took Seattle 5-4 in
the other game.
George Perez held Portland to
three-hits in the first game and
Hugh Pepper scattered 10 hits to
the Beavers in the second at Salt
Lake Sunday.
The Portland pitching losses
went to Tom Gorman and Art
Houtteman.
San Diego, which once was at
the top of the PCL before crash
ing ' to seventh place on the
strength of two months of brutal
baseball, is now only three and
a half games back in a tie for
fifth place with Phoenix. Seventh
place Spokane is only five off the
top.
Steve Jankowski and Dee
Fondy provided the Padres with
the batting punch that enabled
them to sweep their pair with
the Mounties
The Solons banged out 12 hits
off five Spokane hurlers in re
gaining first place. Bob Perry
