M. Two weeks ago Trevino was just another name among the Golf pros just trying to make a Greenback. When the biggest tournament in Golf the United states open Encl ocl a week ago sunday sitting on top of the Heap four strokes up with a record tying 275, was the tequila swigging a Horatio Alger Story just Over a year ago Trevino was a $30 a week Golf assistant now in four Days he picked up a $30,000 first prize plus several Hundred thousand to come As the result of endorse ments and appearances. Trevino May be the new Golf Star of the decade. Or is his Victory just a one shot Deal now that Arnie Palmer is having the worst troubles of his career can Trevino move in and become Golf s no. 1 attraction there s no doubt that the texan has a lot going for him. Besides his compact game he has personality and wit to go with it. Golf fans like nothing More than to have an unknown come out of nowhere and win a major tournament and talk to them while winning is a talker. Constantly bantering with the gallery on would get the idea that Trevino could t keep his , he does. If i Don t talk to the Gal Lery then i talk to myself tre Vino said during the tournament. Bout stopped after 2nd round frailer hammers out Tel Over Ramos retains i new York a Joe Fra Zier staggered in the first round retained his share of the world heavyweight title by Stop Ping Mexico s Manuel Ramos atthe end of the second round at Madison Square Garden Mon Day night. The 6-foot-3 mexican had Bee dropped for the second time late in the second round. There was some confusion As referee Art Mercante stopped the fight. Mercante said he had counted to seven when the Bell sounded and there was some indication he had had enough but i would have stopped it the Bell rang when Ramos was beginning to get up but in the referee s judgment he had enough. Lee Trevino no golfer has come up with a group to match Arnie s Nicklaus Bill Casper and Gary player have never been Able to pick up a name following. Just to look at Palmer would make one join his army. Whence hitches up his pants when he hits with Tierce determination when he walks his Manly stride. No wonder they flock wit him. Despite their Many major victories and winnings. Nicklaus and Asper just Don t have it gallery Wise. But it seems Trevino has some of the Palmer s not powerfully built like Palmer but he has a personality and probably More wit thai. Palmer Nicklaus and Casper combined. When Trevino returns to the tour next week maybe hell havea group following him calling themselves Lee s ban Dos taking in his latin american ancestry a More appropriate name would be Trevino s yes speaking with his pronounced mexican accent Trevino if he can continue to win seems destined make a bigger name in open achievement just did t come from being Lucky. Anybody i Don t care in what business or profession does get Vahai he accomplishes without hard work. Nothing but hard work put Trevino where he is now. One Elpaso buddy said he has seen when Trevino s hands were raw from hitting practice balls for seven or eight hours. Texas ilorseapples9 there is quite a comparison about the muscular forearms of Trevino and Palmer. Palmer developed his around the Coal min ing Region of his Hometown of Latrobe pa., while Trevino said his were developed on Grapefruit sized Texas any texan knows that a Holseapple is a knotty Green vegetation that horses and cattle eat but not for human consumption. When he was a kid Trevino use to throw them at rabbits then later split them in two hitting with a five Iron. On the farm where he grew up Lee dug two holes in the pastureland put two Sticks in them. Then he would hit his five Iron Back and Forth Between them and even putt with the the name Trevino is in the record books. What an amazing contrast that the Brilliant Sam Snead has never won a . Open in his Long storied career and Trevino won it after less than one year on the tour that it was his first tournament Victory As a pro. And More amazing that s what makes Golf the most interesting game in month at Carnoustie Scotland the scots will be anxious to see Trevino in years ago they saw another Little texan shatter the Carnoustie course and win the British open with a record breaking score. That was Ben Hogan and they immediately tagged him the wee iceman because of his unshakeable nerves. It will be interesting to see How they react to Trevino and his quips. One thing for sure Trevino will talk which is something Hogan never has done on a course. For us hackers it s great to see somebody like Trevino common the scene. He was one of us at one time. Now he is a King.
