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.
