THE MASTERS REVISITED 'Woosey,' Watson And Wadkins I am sure no one was surprised that I did not win The Masters as my wife had predicted in her dream. I would accept that I was actually Ian Woosnan in disguise. That would re ally be stretching the imagination too much since I have him bested by almost 60 pounds. And lan has me bested by more than 50,000 pounds sterling. I was able to make the cut by watching more than four hours of re plays of the first two rounds and to be around for the live telecasts on , Saturday and Sunday. I was rewarded with one of the most competitive and exciting golf tournaments that I have ever seen. Although we were not treated to a sudden death playoff, the finish could not have been more dra matic. First we were teased by the possibility of Jack Nicklaus being in con tention during the final round. But alas, the six-time winner ended up with an early tec time on Sunday. Those fans who were pulling for somcbody anybody-to beat the European golfers found some fading thrills in the per formances of Tom Watson, Lanny Wadkins and Larry Mize. Watson's return to championship form this year has to be exciting for many fans. Hopefully he will build on his success over the past few weeks and find his way into the winner's circle before the year is over. His putting duel with Nicklaus during the third round was reminiscent of some of their battles in past British Opens. 1 have always admired the bold putting style of Watson which always seemed to leave him four or five feet beyond the hole when he missed. He never seemed to fear the come-back putts. It has been easy to pull for Wake Forest's Lanny Wadkins due to his aggressive style of play. He always seems to be shooting at the pins, even when they are in treacherous locations. As one commentator put it, "Lanny has never seen a flag he could not attack." Except for a couple of momen tary losses of concentration, Wadkins could have been in a playoff on Sunday. His missed backhand stab at a tap-in putt was unfortunate, but he compounded his mistake by an unforgivable remark to the press. Wadkins Lucky He Is Not On Go If Team I know that every high school coach in the nation cringed when he said that he had done that before and that he would no doubt do it again. Suffice it to say, Mr. Wadkins is lucky that he is not on our high school team. If he was, he would still be doing "laps" around Brick Landing today. There is an ongoing theory that major championships arc lost and not won. No such claim is possible for this year's Masters. Larry Mize shot a great final round early Sunday to post a nine-under-par figure for the lead ers to shoot at. Although it seemed some would fold on the back nine at Augusta, Woosnan, Watson, Wadkins and Jose-Maria Olazabal kept shoot ing for the win. Watson and Olazabal fell victim to the sand traps on the fi nal hole as Arnold Palmer has in the past Woosnan 's huge drive over the fairway bunker on the 18th hole was not really the gamble that it initally seemed. It gave him an angle to the pin on the rear of the green which took the front bunker out of play. Had his ap proach shot carried a couple of feet farther, he would have been putting for a birdie instead of a par. If other big hitters choose that tactic in the future, the people at Augusta may have to plant some trees to protect against ap proach shots from the driving range. It seemed almost prophetic that when Nick Faldo could not "three peat," two other European golfers were standing in the wings to make a charge for the green jacket. I got a big kick out of Faldo 's curtain call on the slick 16tli green when he was sweeping the path of his putt as in European Ice Kegling. Don't count these off-shore players out of the other major championships this year. They are for real and they seem to always lick their chops when facing the perfectly-prepared American courses. It does not matter to them how difficult the golf courses are set up for major championships in the United States. The condition of the courses are so much superior to what they play on in Europe they always seem to be ready to "Have a go at it." These aggressive stars of the other continent have been kicking the POA players in the pants in the Ryder Cup recently and seem to be in contention in all the big events on our tour. 1 makes me wonder about our practice of bumping golfers who arc not on the exempt list down to the Hogan Tour or the USGA Tour. Maybe we should send them to Europe to play for a year. Learn To Swim At Caswell During Summer Program Swimming lessons will be of fered this summer at the N.C.
