SAY YOU SAW IT HERE! . One thing you can say about an egoist - he never goes around talking about other people! * One thought comes to mind when the PaineWebber Invitational Golf Tournament being played here this weekend is mentioned. It’s, can Arnold Palmer weave the same magic he did back in the 60s when he electrified the golf fans around the world? If Palmer can regain his confidence, he’ll become the 1985 champion of the popular event. Prter Thomson is the defending champ, but Jim Ferree will be the ranking favorite when the 50-player field gets under way at Quail Hollow early Thursday morning. The “Egg® event has a purse worth $200,000. The tour’s hottest player in recent months, Lee Elder will offer a serious challenge to the winner. Elder, who joined the seniors in the final half of the 1984 season, won a total of $378,820 in about 16 months:. He has iwMwl go,097 so far this year and is second to Thomson’s $301,166. Charlotte native Charlie Sifford will also compete in the seniors tournament. He’s 14th among the leading money winners. me Fame Webber Invitational format includes 72 boles, rather than the 54-hole sequence the seniors generally play. Following a practice round on Wednesday, the tournament opens with 18 holes on Thursday. General admission is $8 for the first and second rounds and S10 per person for the third ahd final rounds. Premier rookie Pat Ewing is seeking a 10-year pact that will pay him more than $2 million a year for 10 years.
