PGA Tourney PAGES 1 lo 8 SKCTION n Palmer, Nicklaus Play Together By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sporti Editor Newtown Square, Pa. -4UPI Arnold Palmer weni after his "three-quarter" slam today and the betting was 2-1 that he will accomplish it by win ning the PGA golf champion ship. Palmer, the overwhelming favorite, was scheduled to play with U.S. Open champ ion Jack Nicklaus and Dave Marr. It was the luck of a "blind draw" which put Pal mer and the second choice, the 3-1 Nicklaus, in the same threesome. They also had played to gether in the first two rounds of the U.S. Open last month and then in the Western Open. There was some eyebrow raising when it was learned that Palmer and Nicklaus had been drawn to play to gether again. "It makes no difference to me,'' said Palmer, who has won the Masters and the Brit ish Open championships, and just missing winning th U.S. Open which he lost in a play off with Nicklaus. "I enjoy playing with the big dude.'' Nicklaut Happy Nicklaus was happy about the pairings too. "I think Arnie is the great est and when you play with him head to head - well you know just where you stand. You are playing with "v. guy you know you have to beat." Bob Rosburg, one of the former 13 PGA champions in the field, shuffled the entry cards from which Palmer and Nicklaus were drawn. "Believe me, I shuffled them well." said Rosburg, "no . t A ft -t t'frSXf a fn 4 Ti.'W ttt vs. one could have been more surprised when the draw came and Palmer and Nick laus were in the same three some." Be that as it may, - and it is certain to be a crowd pleas er in the opening round of this four day tournament -there were 168 other golfers in the field in addition to Pal mer. Nicklaus and Marr. De fending champion Jerry Bar ber, who said he had "two chances'' in this big one, and little South African Gary Player, were quoted at 5-1 followed by Billy Casper at 61, Dow Finsterwald at 8-1, former U.S. Open champion Gene Littler at 10-1 and dark horse Phil Rodgers at 15-1. Says Chances Slim Barber described his two chances as "very slim and none at all." "I just can't hit with the big boys." he explained "And 1 can't putt with them either. That Casper - he's the best putter in the business. And Palmer is right up there, too. That's why he's winning so much." But Barber didn't putt bad ly last year when he won the PGA title. He sank putts of 20, 40 and 60 feet on the last three greens to lie Don Jan uary and then went on to beat him in the playoff. Barber plays with January - another freak in the "blind draw" - and Jackie Burke, a former PGA king. Player plays with Rodgers and old Sam Sncad. trying for his fourth PGA title. Cas per goes off with Art Wall, the former Musters champion, and Tommy Boll, a former U S. Open tilleholdcr. Palmer, playing in the heavy rain which swept the 7.040-yard Aroniniink golf course Wednesday, warmed up with a one under par 69. Snead w-as three over.

GARS and TRUCKS Newtown Square, Pa. lUPP -His best trick shot, Paul Hahn admits, thrilled the spectators hut he had to Rive it up be cause "it scared the hell out of me." He pulled il off more than 2.000 limes without a miss in rxhihitinns around the world. A volunteer would lie flat with the ball sitting up on a Ice held between the teeth. Then Hahn would swing with deadly concentration -sending a half pound of club head against the ball at a speed of 1 10 miles per hour. The handsome, black-haired Hahn's beautiful wife was his steadiest assistant. But he did the trick on many courageous volunteers who know of his fantastic prowess in the trick shot department. One such, on television, was Garry Moore Hahn's insur ance company caught the how that night and cancelled his protective poliry. Moore's wile saw it. too. "You don't." Mrs. Mnore said in a quick and frantic call to the studio. have lo do that to make a living. We can sell apples." People Bugged Him Then it got to the point where people, as Hahn says, were "bugging ' him about the dij-asJrous possibilities should he miss Even Ben Hngan told him it was too dangerous. Hahn believed it. too. when in an exhibition at Augusta somebody spoke as he was starting the down swing and momentarily broke his enn crniratinn. "I knew I out of the groove." he said grimly. "And when I helped my wife up, she said 'My lip is numb'." It cost him his confidence and he started lo "top" the ball which, at least, was much better than taking a dental divot. But finally he gave il up. Hahn's show is exceptional without it, as he proved in one of the features preceding the PGA golf championship at Aronimink Golf Club Good enough to put him. it is es timated in the $150,000 a year income bracket. He also flies his own plane and has made four trips around the world with his one-man show. I Which isn't bad for a man , who, before putting together I his profitable specialty, tried I the pro tour for two years, i "and didn't make enough j money to mark my ball." The difference between t Hahn and the touring pro is i that the personable Paul keeps up a running dialogue with his shots while the aver age pro freezes if a bee belches. People ak him how j he can hit the ball while talk ing and his answer is that he j can't hit it if he doesn't i They also ask continually i why he gave up his most (a 1 mous trick of hitting the hall off a volunteer's fare "I've got a four-word an swer," he admits with a grin t which lacks conviction. 'I i lost my guts " i And. this being the 13th year in which he has been on I the trirk shot circuit, he isn't j likely to try it again now.
