PGA Champion Gary Player To Seek 'Golfing Grand Slam' By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Spoilt Editor Newton Square, Pa. - il'Pli Gary Player, the new PGA champion, had one more championship to go today to achieve his golfing amition. When the 26-year-old 5-foot 7-inch South African shot an even par 70 Sunday to win the PGA title it left him only one more crown to go for his own "golfing grand slam." "When I started out in this business of being a golf pro fessional nine years ago," Player said, "I had one goal. That was to win the four big ones. Now I've got three of them-the Masters, the British Open and the PGA. "All I need now is the U.S. Open and I am going to go out and get it next year." Wears Black Clothes The black-clad Player, who chews raisins to keep his strength and wears black be cause it makes him feel "warm and strong," finished eighth in the U.S. Open this year in which Jack Nicklaus beat Arnold Palmer for the title in a playoff. His best showing in the biggest one of them all the U.S. Open was in Tulsa in 1958 when he fin ished second four strokes be hind the winner, Tommy Bolt. Player was the first foreign er to win this tournament since Australian Jim Ferrier won it in 1947. "Now as a foreigner I have won them all except the U.S. Open. Last year I was the first foreigner to ever be your leading money winner. Now I want to win the four big ones." He can't make it this year, for the $13,000 he picked up Sunday by winning the PGA gave him him a total of $41, 513.35 leaving him $30,000 behind Palmer. Palmer Ties for 17th Palmer picked up only $966 in finishing tied for 17th place ten strokes behind the winning player. It was a heartbreak for Palmer who was going for a "three-quarter slam." He had won the Masters and the Brit ish Open this year and his golfing ambition is to win all the four big ones in one year. That would be the U.S. Open and the PGA in addition to the titles he now holds. "I've been hearing ever since I won the Masters in 1961 'What's happened to Gary Player." "Well, I let them know yes terday I was still around." His 38-34-70 over the 7.045 Aronimink course with its par of 35-35-70 was Rood enough to give him the PGA championship by one stroke over Bob Goalby, a former University of Illinois foot ball player. Goalby started out the day four strokes behind Player and one stroke behind Doug Ford, the second round lead er. He made a good run on it finishing up with a 35-32-67 for a 279 which was just one shot away from Player and gave him second place money of $6,700. Next came U.S. Open champion Jack Nicklaus and George Bayer, who were two strokes off with their totals It v. ' This summer will be published Watch tor II AUGUST 5th with your Med;ord Mail Tribuna next ISSUE I august sth of 281. Nicklaus had a final round of 69 and Bayer a one over par 71. One stroke behind them came Ford, who slipped to a 71 for a total of 282 which was worth $2,900. Bobby Nichols was next in line with a 283 and at 284 were former U.S. Open champion Jack Fleck, long hitting Paul Harney and Dave Ragan. Jay Hebert. the 1960 champion, came in at 285 while at 286 . -f at - 'TV, - - " t v, t "ft, tiAi,.,lii- .itw) LETS OUT A YELP Gary Player, front runner going into the final day of PGA Championship Golf play at Aronimink Golf course, Pa., Sunday, lets out a yelp after sinking a 38 foot putt for a birdie out of a sand trap on the fifth hole. (UPI) Major League Baseball 36 Homers Hit in By MILTON RICHMAN Who says never on Sunday? No matter who does, most major league hitlers vigorous ly disagree because that's the day they generally pick to break out in a wild flurry of home runs. Maybe it has something In do with displaying that old Sunday punch, but a total of 36 homers were hit in the majors Sunday-19 in the Na tional league and 17 in the American-with some of those blows bringing joy, and others sheer despair. Four of those homers, for example, made it a wonderful day for the tenth-place Wash ington Senators, who swept a doublcheadcr from the league leading New York Yankees, 3-2 and 8-3. Two other homers enabled the struggling Cleveland In dians to end a nine-game los ing streak with a 7-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels, while still another homer all but broke Casey Stengel's heart and gave the Cincinnati Reds an 11-4 and 4-3 sweep over his New York Mets. Home runs figured promi nently in the majority of Sun day's games. Giants Blast Four A pair of them helped the Los Angeles Dodgers retain their two-game lead in the NL with a 13-6 victory over the Chicago Cubs, while the San Francisco Giants hammered four homers in a 5-4 decision over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Seven homers were hit as Milwaukee took two from Philadelphia 11-10 and 5-2, and St. Louis beat Houston. 3-1, in the only major league contest that was homerlcss. Baltimore snapped Minne esota's six - game winning streak, 8-6. the Chicago White Sox bumped the Boston Red Sox, 7-3, and the Kansas City A's routed the Detroit Tillers, 11-3. Harry Blight's three -run homer in the first inning plus the four-nit pitching of rookie Dave Stenhouse gave the Sen ators their opening game vic tory over the Y'ankees. The loss halted a nine-game Yan kee winning streak and the Senators saw to it that the Yanks didn't get another one started by beating them in the nightcap on homers by Jim King. Chuck Ilinton and pitcher Bennic Daniels. Two-run homers by Willie Kirkland and Jerry Kindall off Don Lee of the Angels pro vided the Indians with their first victory in 10 games Jim Perry (8-7 1 was the winner although he needed Gary Bell's help after Billy Moran homered in the seventh Mali Blow Lad The poor Mets jumped to a 4 0 lead against the Reds in their opener but Cincinnati came up with a six run rally in the sixth to clinch that one. Joe Nuxhall. the winning pitcher, celebrated his return n the Reds by pitch:? thr-e MEDFOHD MAIL were former PGA champions Dow Finsterwald and Chick Harberl. former U.S. Open champion Julius Boros and Bob McAllister. Then at 287 came Cary Middlccoff and Doug Sand ers and in the group at 288 along with Palmer were Sain Snead, who has won this three times; Jackie Burke, another former champion; Frank Stranahan; Billy Far rell and Australian Bruce !kt' v scoreless innings and hitting a two-run double. The blow that hurl Casey most, though, was a pinch homer by Mary Keough in the, ninth inning of the night cap. II came off reliever Rog er Craig, snapped a 3-all tie and ran the Reds' winning streak tn five games. Vada Pinson also homered for Cin cinnati. Frank Howard and Larry Bui-right hit homers for the Dodgers against the Cubs and Willie Davis helped matters along by driving in four runs with a pair of triples. Reliever Ed Roebuck was the winner in a game cut short by rain in the seventh. Ernie Banks and George Altman homered for the Cubs. Juan Marichat scored his 13lh victory for the Giants with a seven-hitler over the Pirates. Felipe Alou hit his 17th homer and also doubled home the winning run in the fifth. Willie Mays hit his 28th homer and Jim Davenport and Jose Pagan also connected. The Braves rallied for sev en runs in the fourth inning of the opener to beat the Phil lies, who led, 8-1 after two innings. Then, rookie Denny Lemaster scored his first maj or league victory in the night cap with the aid of Joe Ad cock's lfilh homer. Tony Gon awaii, Vancouver End Game By United Press International If anyone says the Hawaii Islanders belong to the jet set today they would probably get and deserve - a clout over the left field fence. The Islanders were 10 in nings at Vancouver Sunday night before a pre-arranged curfew ended the game in a i 4-4 tic. The deadline was set because the Hawaii team had to catch a plane back to the i Islands. i Vancouver was leading 4-2 1 ; In the ninth inning when Ha- ! waii's Stan Palys tied the i score on a two-run homer. The i game will have to be either 1 replayed or resumed from the j 10th in Hawaii because the schedule for the Islanders at i ! Vancouver is completed The Islanders now hold a , 21 record in their series with j the Mounties-with the fourth ' game dangling. The Portland 1 Beavers play at Honolulu to- night and the two teams won't hav'e to worry about plane I reservations until next Sun day. In Pacific Coast league dou bleheaders Sunday night, the i first olacc San DicEo Padres squashed Potland. 6-4 and 13-3. and the Tacoma Giants split with Spokane winning the first. 81 and losing the second. 5-2 Seattle's Blly MacLeod held the Salt Lake City Bees TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON Crampton. Player, who says he never likes to be in the lead, was only worried today at one time when he three-putted the seventh and eighth holes. "Then I decided I had to be Gary Player and not to worry about Goalby or any one else," he said. "So I went out and played my own game." It was good enough. Those two three-putters on the seventh and eighth gave him his only bogeys of the round. To match them he birdied in the fifth and thir teenth holes with putts of 30 and 40 feet. "That forty-footer on the thirteenth did it. Then I got thinking 'This is Gary Play er, and I am going to play like him the rest of the day and not have people say I choked up.' " From the thirteenth on he played even par. "I know how Goalby was doing because I was playing with him. Then when I found out that Bayer had bogeyed the 18th I figured I was in so I played the 18th safe but I still had a problem there. "I was on the green 85 feet away and Goalby was on only 25 feet away. I want ed to make sure to get my first putt close for then even if Bob sank his long one 1 still would tie. But Bob went past the cup, just like I did and we both sank our putts coming back. And believe me, that two and one half foot putt looked awful big." Which is a real success story. And yet, John Barn um, the giant from Michigan who shot a course record of 66 in the first round, had to settle for success in reverse. He finished with an 81 dead last. Sunday zalez hit a homer for the Phils in each contest. Bob Gibson gained his 13th victory for the Cardinals al though Lindy McDaniel had to nail down the final out of the game when the Colts put two men on base in the ninth. The Cards scored all three of their runs off Bob Bruce in the second on doubles by Ken Boyer and Charlie James, a walk and singles by Gibson and Julian Javier. Jim Gentile drove In two runs with his 25th homer and Jackie Brandt collected four hits, including a homer, as the Orioles beat the Twins. Harmon Killcbrew hit his 25th homer for the Twins and Bernie Allen also connected. Robin Roberts (6-3) was the winner and Camilo Pascual (14-6) was the loser.
