Sports Editor It came down to two men and one tough golf course in RockrHle, Md., Tuesday, and Ronnie Parker was worried. ; ..... , . Parker was hoping that the Tar Heels Marty West could hold on to his one-stroke lead to win the ACC .individual .championship, and that the Washington, D.C. native could gain ten strokes on Duke's Dave Lind to wrap up third place for Carolina. The Woodmont Country Club was wearing out the conference field. Out of over 120 rounds played during the final two rounds of the tournament, only 36 broke 80, and the yellow brick round to par 72 was getting more hazardous by the minute. ' West equalled par 36 on the front side to stay a shot ahead of Wake Forest's feared Lanny Wadkins, and Lind shot a 40. "Well, that's four strokes,M Parker thouit, "and he needs to make up five more for us to tie Duke for third. On this course ..." Lind finally came in beaten and battered, and with another 40 on the back side. "West needs a 34, of all things, to win it for us," Parker thought, and asked the Blue Devil how Marty was doing. , . - "He's right near the hole on 17," Lind said, "two under par on the back side." And Parker learned the meaning of blind faith. . , West's 28 beat Wadkins by five strokes, with a 72-72 at Aiken, S.C. in April and a 73-70 at Rockville. He conquered higjh rough and strangling length with his rare ability to Puike p. mails to play every kind of shot, while the US. Amateur was shooting 150 for his two Woodmont rounds! Now Marty prepares for the NCAA championships June 21-26 2t Tucson, Ariz. West was tenth in the NCAAs last yearxtied with Bm Calfee from Maryland Assistant .coach Dave Robinson has been toying with a possible list of eight Southeast schools that can be invited to the nationals. Wake Forest, which won the ACCs by 24 shots over Maryland, which in turn was 20 ahead of UNC, is sure to get a bid along with Florida, Georgia and Maryland. Tennessee, Memphis State, Florida State and the Tar Heels are also on Robinson's tentative list, but Carolina didn't get invited last season as a team and the coach isn't counting on anything yet.' Head coach Ed Kenney and Robinson nurtured an outstanding team this year, one that went 5-0-1 in dual matches, finished second in the Big Four tourney, third in two . other events, and fifth in two others. West, Joe Hackler of Wilmington and Steve Wright of Winston-Salem are seniors, while John Vanderbloemen of Lenoir, Jack Hooks of Goldshoro, Lytton Perritt of New Bern, and Parker of S wansboro return for their senior years in 7 1 -72. Hackler finished 20th in the ACC with a 304. Wright's four-round score was 305, while Hooks had 307, Parker 309, Vanderbloemen 3 1 1 and Perritt 313. . West also had a steady 73-stroke average this year, with Hooks and Hackler also under 74. The Tar Heels also shot under-par rounds in the practice before the Cape Coral Tournament in Florida during spring, break, and renowned Houston coach Dave Williams was getting worried. . ' "How many of . these boyd have scholarships?" Williams asked Kenney, expecting an answer of maybe four or five. "None," Kenney replied, sending Williams' blood pressure a little higher. T "We stayed close to them for two rounds, Robinson recalls. "Then Houstc;i : ot 15 under as a team and we shot 15 ever, losing 30 shots. We eventually finished f;fihj- Kenney and Robinson both have responsibilities around Fiiley Golf Coun; thit keep them from tutoring their players on the practice tee as much as they woo! J l.ke. The phlegmatic West keeps cranking out those long tee shots and precise putts anyway, but other players have had trouble on foreign courses. -The Fintey layout itself hurts the Heels when they go on the round, but Wjke Forest has come to Chapel HOI twice in the last two years without ictery, A me J.ccre .shot will usually find its way into good position on Finley, especially uhen the course is "baked out." Other teams don't get the good kicks. "We can beat just about anybody here when we're playing well. Hooks eats this course up," says a Finley aide. Then on the road, when shots are forced to carry themselves to the target, Carolina's chances are dimmed. Robinson's confident that West can duplicate his NCAA finish of last year, and alio thinks Wake has a chance to win the whole thing. "They've been close the last three years, and Wadkins has a way of playing well when he wants to. Wake's man to beat right now is freshman Ed Pearce, who nonchalantly won the North and South amateur in Pinehurst a couple of weeks ago. As for West, "he's got a good head on his shoulders," says Robinson. Two more good heads followed him around in RockviIle-c!d teacher Fred MacLeod, who won the VS. Open in 1908, and his father. West will be claimed by the VS. Army after graduation, but the history major wants to tie golf into his future plans somehow. A high finish, plus respectable Tar Heel scores in Tucson, could send Marty on his way to future successes, and the Carolina golf program into more serious competition. by Howie Carr , Sports Writer ' DURHAM-The Carolina lacrosse team ended its 1971 season on a winning note Wednesday, defeating ; Duke 7-4, in a sloppy, hard-fought game. The Tar Heels jumped out to a 5-0 halftime lead, but Duke scored four times to edge within a goal with 7:05 left.in the fourth period. Carolina then managed to recover its poise, though, and goals by Mike Tiernan and Bruce Ledwith gave the Tar Heels their final 7-4 margin. Carolina jumped off to a quick 1-0 lead with 3:57 gone in the first period when Tiernan, slammed home a pass from senior attackman Ray Seipp, who finished with a goal and four assists'in his last game for Carolina. . .. . Glenn McKenzie and Phil Sasser got Carolina's other two first quarter goals on "assists from Seipp. - f. ' " Scoring " on k feed from 'Ledwith, attackman Bob Cox ran the Tar Heel lead to 4-0. Seipp got the final goal of the first half when he came from behind the goal to "backhand" a shot past the frustrated Blue Devil goalie. ' . Duke controlled trie- ball for- most of the third period, and goals by Rob Rice, Gary Townsend and Skip Walters cut the Tar Heel lead to two goals. - - - Duke's final score came in the fourth period when Carolina was. playing two men down. Two minutes later, however, the Blue Devils found themselves one man short, and Seipp fed Tiernan for the Tar Heels' sixth goal. Carolina finished its season with a 6-5-1 record, while Duke's season mark slumped to 7-7.- :. ..
