"Man, I'm uptown now," said the popular young Puerto Rican after winning his first cham pionship on the pro tour. lie had just stormed from three strokes back of third round leader Dave Hill to post a one-under par 69 Sunday and capture the Denver Open with a 276, four under par. Earlier in the week, when Ro driguez was still just one of the contenders, he said he had a secret of power hitting which he would reveal in a book only after he had won a champion ship on the PGA tour. His vic tory at Denver County Club, after a three-year drought on the . circuit, paid Rodriguez $5,3'X). It boosted his year's money winnings to about $15, 000. aon-Yard Drives Chi Chi consistently gets off drives over 300 yards when he needs them, although he carries only 120 pounds on a five-foot, seven-inch frame. He pointed out with pride that two of his four birdies in the final round of the 72-hole tourney were scored on the long holes where his driver made the difference. Rodriguez bested 30-year-old Bill Eggers of Henderson, Nev., by two strokes. Eggers, who had a 278, received $3,400 as much as he had won on the tour all year long. Sharing third place each with Hill were AI Gciberger and Jay Hebert. Each had 279. Rex Baxter Jr. followed with a 280 to pocket $1,500, as Jim Ferree and Bob Rosburg scored 281's for $1,350 each.
