JACK NICKLAUS WINS MASTERS
WITH 286 CARD; LEMA SECOND
By MILTON RICHMAN
UPI Sport, Writil
Augusta, Ga. - MPI) - There
is no rest for the weary, so
it'll be more' golf today for
Master! champions Jackie
Nicklaus. who lias chased all
those "butterflies" in his bei
ly but now has a "grand slam"
on his mind.
Still weary from his spec
tacular $20,000 one-stroke vic
tory over the muddy Augusta
National Golf Course, the
blond, heavy-set 23-year-old
Nicklaus will keep a date to
play in a pro-amateur tour
nament at nearby Atlanta to
day.
Confessing to nervousness
and butterflies in his stomach
before he fired his final round
72 for a winning 286 total
Sunday, Jackie came up with
a auick quip regarding his
possibility of a grand slam
this year.
"I guess I'm the only one
who has a chance to win it,"
he said.
He hit that, like most of
his Ice shots, right on the but
ton inasmuch as a golfer must
win the Masters, the U.S.
Open, the PGA and the Brit
ish Open to complete a grand
slam.
Palmar Finishes Ninth
Arnold Palmer, who finish
ed in a ninth place tie in the
Masters Sunday, has been try
ing for thai elusive slam scv'
eral years now but never has
made it.
The majority of golf cx
perts feel Nicklaus can, how
ever.
"If that 86 I shot in tile
second round wasn't my best,"
he grinned, "it sure is pushing
Ihc leaders."
It followed h first round 74
and tied young Jack for sec
ond place with Jay Herbert
after 36 holes. Then, when
virtually all the other leaders
faltered in the heavy rain and
mud of the third round, Nic
klaus took a onc-slroke lead
with a 74 and maintained it

throughout the pressure-packed
final round.
In addition to being the
youngest player over to win
the Masters, the Ohio shot
maker also was the first reign
ing Open king to lead home
the field in this tournament.
Possibly the two biggest
Masters surprises were 29-ycar-old
Tony Lenia of Oak
land, Calif., who finished sec
ond with 287 even though it
was his first appearance in
II, a nvnnl Mill I'.lfl y.HH !),:.(
tied 51-year-old Sammy Sncad I
for third place with Julius I
Boros.
"I kept looking at Tony be
cause I knew lie was even
with par all day," Nicklaus
admitted, "and I could tell
by the scoreboard Sam was
doing all right, too "
Naads Final Par
When Lema, who finished
with a two - under - par 70,
birdicd the 18th, Nicklaus,
coming up two twosomes be
hind him, knew he would
have to par the 18th, a par
four 420-yarder, or face a
playoff.
I didn't try lo play con
servative golf at any time,"
Nicklaus explained, "but nei
ther was I about to get reck
loss on the 18lh.
"This was no time to flirt
with the trees on the right so
I aimed my Ice shot lo the
left," he went on. "The ball
landed in sand and mud and
1 got a free drop.
"I dropped the ball in a
muddy He, then went for my
lx Iron. I sure wasn't going
to bo short."
He wasn't.
The 205-pound Ohioan put
all his muscle and might into
that six iron shot and belted
the ball onto the green about
30 feet past the flagstick.
Ball Passes Cup
Faced with a downhill putt.
Jackie studied the green close
ly. He then stroked it three
feet past the cup. His second
putt made it.
Snead gave the final day
gallery of 30,000 a thrill by
blrdylng the 14th and 15lh
holes to pose u serious threat
to Nicklaus and even raise
the possibility lie might be
come the first tour-time win
ner in Masters history instead
ot ralmer.
It wasn't in Ihc cards,
though, as Sambo honeyed
two of the last throe holes
and finished with a 35-36-71
llial entitled him lo divide
third place money with war
horse Boros, who shot a
37-35-72.
Palmer never really got off
the ground although he gave
It a good try with birdies on
the first two holes. Ho carded
respectable 34-37-71 for a
2D1 total thai was five strokes
off the pace.

Al Dark Doesn't
Seem Inclined To
Break Up Winner
(The following is ona of
20 dispatches on the 1963
prospects of major league
baseball loams.)
By SCOTT BAILLIE
Phoenix, Ariz. -I1IP1I- Alvin
Dark, manager of the Nation
al league champion San Fran
cisco Giants, expects that the
flag will go up this season to
the team that wins 08 or 90
games.
So how many does he figure
his Glams will win?
That little trap doesn't
work cither and the cautious
Dark merely says, "We're the
same club that won the pen
nam last year.. We also arc
well balanced and know each
oilier very well. But I don'l
know where we'll finish."
However, he lists his Gi
ants, Los Angeles, Cincinnati
and St. Louis as the top con
tenders. This is not his prob
able order of finish.
Virtually ihc same team
thai battled the New York
Yankees down to the seventh
game of the World Series is
on hand again and Dark
doQSn't s c e in inclined to
break up a winning combination'.
All the regulars picked up
raise, including first base
man Orlando Ccpeda who bul
lied a cut and then held out
until he got a token boost ol
about a thousand dollars. Or
lando didn't sign until March
12 then checked in at a time
when the rest of the squad
had been working oul for 24
days.

The same goes for pitcher

Dark looks for a better
season from Cepeda, whose
impressive figures of a .306
balling average, 35 homers
and 114 runs batted in mask

feels lhal he earned his boosi

into their successful playoff
victory against Los Angeles?
"I think I had a fine sea

.304, hit 49 homers to lead the
majors and drove in 141 runs.
Then he adds, "What's there
