Then he will come Down with some decisions. Its Good that hell be coming Down Here because then we can ask him some  Gansl cry a first worry is about Fla Mango a Long time brazilian powerhouse which is coming off a 7-0 Victory in Tokyo Over Spanish club real Socia dad. Quot we have drawn a tremendous opponent a Gansler said. A the Way they played last week is an indication of their  from Page 21 time the pea was played at Shoal Creek. Most of the other pros agreed with Wadkins some in much stronger More colourful language. V a you go into that locker room and you re going to hear some powerful bitching a said Tim Simpson who was no happier about the greens than the rough. A a in be been on the tour for 14 years and in be never seen harder greens than these. A 16-Pound shot put  Dent  the combination of extreme rough and hard greens proved too difficult for some of the biggest names. Take Hale Irwin for example. The three time . Open Winner Long noted As a Man who plays his Best on the More difficult courses thrashed his Way to a 77. Greg Norman who leads the american tour in scoring average also shot 77. Ditto for Mark Calcavecchia and seve Ballesteros and Lee Trevino who won this title on this course with a 15-under-Par total six years ago. Jack Nicklaus who counts five pea championships in his record collection of 18 major professional titles and who designed this course had a 78, including a fat 40 Over the front nine. Curtis strange and Toni Kite golfs two most prolific Money winners in recent years each took a 79. And Arnold Palmer at 60 making a 33rd run at the one major championship that has eluded him had an pm harassing 81 that included two triple bogeys one an 8 on the 11th Hole. I he golfer s most common Nemesis a wind a was no fac Tor. Little More than a Balmy summer Breeze stirred the tree leaves. Weather was no problem. There was no rain and temperatures were in the Low 80s. It was the rough a deep enough to Swallow a Ball and hide it take it completely out of sight Only a few inches from the Fairway deep enough Wadkins figured to hide his 6-month-old son Casey. A i think ill bring him out Here put him in the rough and see if i can find him a Wadkins said. Verplank can testify too after his trek through Trees and trouble on the 17th Hole. He too was 4 under until he hit a shot deep into the Woods. A i hit one bad shot and i could have had anything a said Verplank who eventually made double bogey-7. No one else broke Par. And that a the Way the pea wants it Stewart said. A a it a like the Urga likes to see the pea wants to see the winning score somewhere around Par a he said. Stewart who chased Faldo to the British open title and has won twice in the United states this year is one of the More outspoken critics of the severe rough. The pea insists it was Cut to vhf inches. A a in a like Pat Rielly to take a ruler out there a Stewart said referring to the pea president. A a it a like this a he said and he held his hands 8-10 inches apart. A i agree you should be rewarded when Vou hit the Ball in the Fairway and penalized when you hit it in the rough. But you ought to be Able to play the All out of the rough. You ought to be Able to get a club on it. �?o1 had a pretty Good group a said Stewart who played in a threesome with Faldo and Irwin a and anytime we got it in the rough it was automatic you Jerk out the Sand wedge and chop it Back to the  Jim Thorpe the Only Black in the pea Field drives through the tourneys controversy on  from Page 21 played. By 1975 Thorpe earned his tour card but promptly lost it by winning Only $2,000 in the season that followed. Three years later he was co medallist at qualifying school and it was another eight years before he won his first tournament by out dueling Jack Nicklaus Down the stretch at the greater Milwaukee open. He won a second time in 1985, again in 1986 and has t won since. He underwent surgery on his left wrist and thumb in 1987 and missed most of the 1988 season. And so As Thorpe plotted a course out of the rough and through the Trees along the right Side of Shoal creeks first Hole some people gathered to see a curiosity others to see the Man they Felt was carrying the bag for an entire race. But Jim Thorpe Felt As he always does like he was carrying the Flag for himself. His hard times Issue from a Lack of control Over that Little White Ball not from the Whites who decide where he plays it. A i can to really think of a club that has discriminated against me Quot he said during a practice round wednesday. A a in a quite sure that the Guys that broke the color Barrier like Charlie is lord encountered racist problems. I never have encountered  his line chosen Thorpe walked Back toward the Ball and playfully cuffed a Black boy scout working nearby As a spotter. Blacksmith sized forearms winding quickly he lashed an Iron to within 40 feet and got Down from there for Par. The Hole turned out to be a mini series of the rest of the round. Drive it off the Fairway Hack it out of Anllo Tough rough scramble. He went double bogey at no. 2, recouped the strokes with birdies at nos. 3 and 5, bogeyed the sixth and made the turn at 37. Most of the few Black spectators stayed with him until the bitter end which on this Day turned out to be 77. What Little sustenance he got usually came from Miles Collins an aging Black Man who caddies frequently for Hall Thompson and seemed to shout on every Hole a Good out Jimmy  keeping score for Thorpe a threesome was sue fort who happens to be Hall Thompsons sister. The temptation of course is to think of this As ironic though Thorpe might have thought of it As fitting somehow. A i wish they d lighten up on him a Little bit a he said of Thompson. A tin sure if he could pull that breath Back he would. In be hit a it it a of balls out of Bounds i wish i could pull  to err is human to forgive a in this Case anyway is Jim Thorpe a right
