Venturi Still on Top Augusta, Ga. (U.P.) Ken Ven turi, a San Francisco amateur with a heart as stout as a giant redwood, lost a four-stroke lead to Cary Middlecoff Saturday but grabbed it back in a near gale to go into the final round of the Masters golf tournament still very much the top boy. The wind was blowing 40 miles an hour but neither storm nor the terrific pressure on the tortuous Augusta National back stretch dismayed the 24-year-old Californian. He saved his lead with a 75 although he had jump ed up to 40 on his first nine. And in the end it was Middle coff who cracked, coming up to the 18th hole after a labored round and needing only a par to stay within hot breath distance of Venturi in tomorrow's payoff. Instead, he miserably three putted after getting out of a trap for a double bogey six and again fell four strokes back. Middlecoff also wound up with j a 75 although he had gone out in I 35 to Venturi's 40 and early in ! the second nine was tentatively I two strokes ahead. .
