Tit Fifth Quarter Sports by Mike Oths For all my complaining about television sports and the overglut of "gala" events, I think the U.S. Open Golf Championship is one of the highlights of the television sports year. 1 know, 1 know, golf on television is about as exciting as watching paint dry. Believe me, I've heard all the comments, and normally I agree w ith you But in the case of the U.S. Open, where the golfers are asked to exhibit more than just their putting skills, golf on T.V. is O.K. The Open stands above the crowd first of all, because of the pressure that it puts on the players. To win the Open is to prove oneself as a pressure player. Golfers who can thread the needle with a club and ball better than most of us could throw it have tx-en known to shank a few shots in the Open. (Witness this year's 72nd hole, where Greg Norman hit a near shank from a perfect lie to a wide-open green. ) Winning the U S Open can guarantee a playeer s career for the next ten years, or longer, players are exempted from qualifying for ten years, which means a great deal to marginal players (or used to It also seems like the truly great players have used the Open as a springboard to success. Just in the last twenty years, Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller and Lee Trevino have made the Open their first championship. It is interesting to watch a person who wouldn't otherwise be near a television, viewing the Open. The innate drama of the tournament seems to shine through, and not just because of the sometimes melodramatic comments of the television announcers. I'd often wondered whether the Open could really ! appreciated by non golfers, but 1 think that the good theater of a I'SGA Championship makes it possible. One thing I've always wanted to do was to get an opportunity to play a round on an Open course under Open conditions, from the back tees. Fully realizing that the result could traumatize my game for a couple years, I think that such a round would only serve to further make me appreciate how difficult the conditions are during the Open. I can't help recalling the story told about Oakmont the year Johnny Miller won Supposedly, a player marked his ball with a nickel, only to have it slide off the green. A bit of an exaggeration? Probably. A gross exaggeration? Probably not. It 's no coincidence that a guy like Fuzzy Zoeler would do well in a U.S. Open. He seems so loose that you wonder if he has any nerves at all. As good as Thomas Hearns is, it's hard to watch Roberto Durun getting thoroughly thrashed. The second-round knockout should be the end of the long career of the man called Stone Hands. Have you noticed department: can you name the leading pitcher in the National League? Charlie Lea of the Expos is 113. While you're at it, check the stats on Alvin Davis, the super rookie from Seattle. If he keeps it up I may have to take back my comment about the M s being the boringest team in baseball the Yankees are closing fast.
