MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOHD. OREGON WEDNESDAY. JULY 18. 1962 Palmer Favored lodgers Attracts Support For PGA Championship By LEO H. PETERSEN UP1 Sporti Editor Newton Square, Pa.-UOT-The oddsmakers made Arnold Palmer a 2-1 favorite today to win the PGA golm champion ship but there was surprising support for a 15-1 shot in the field ruddy-faced Phil Rodg ers. The cocky redhead from California has been coming close, but up to now never has been able to catch the favored Palmer in a big one. Rodscrs finished two strokes behind Palmer and Jack Nick laus in the U.S. Open last month and last week tied for third in the British Open seven shots behind Palmer. Nicklaus, who beat Palmer in a playoff for the U. S. Open title, was the second choice in the field of 172 golfers at 3-1. Behind him and ahead of Rodgcrs came defending champion Jerry Barber and Gary Player at (5-1), Billy Casper (6-1), Dow Finstcrwald (8-1) and Gene Littler (10-1). "I don't think that in a field like this one any golfer Is good enough to be a 2-1 shot," Palmer said. "But 1 1 they arc high on the 24-year-sure hope the oddsmakers are old Rodgcrs is that nothing right.' Palmer had a 74 Tuesday in round over the 7.040 yard Aronimink course with its pari of 35-35-70 while Nicklaus j fired a two-under 68. I j rtoagers was late miuwiiik up and planned to piay nis first and fin;il practice round today. But Rodgers j doesn't worry about things like that. I He wasn't even concerned when it took him four strokes i to get his ball out of a fir tree in the Open at Oakmont last month. He came into the press tent the next day and a golf writ er suggested he had tough luck. "What was tough about it." he asked. "Why just a couple of hours ago I four-putted the 10th green-from eight feet." And he lost the title by two strokes. "I'll make up for it some day." he promised. The golfing pros think he could do it here. One reason seems to disturb him even four-ovcr-par ' 'hose two disastrous holes at a practice Oakmont. you do or you don t. is his philosophy of the game. Has Worked Well So far it has worked well. He made his first appear ance as a professional in the 1961 St. Paul Open. In less than a full year on the tour, the confident kid front La Jolla which had produced such golfers as Cas per. Littler, Don Whitt and Mickey Wright, the leading money winner among the gal pros has won two tourna ments, the 1962 Los Angeles and Tucson opens. That is better than any first year pro ever has done. In addition he placed in the top five in five other tournaments and is seventh on the money winning list with a total of $28,091.90. A victory here, with its first place money of at least $11. 000, would jump him into fifth place behind Palmer, Littler, Casper and Nicklaus.
