MONDAY, APRIL 15, 1991 -THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR- Masters Irwin, Zoeller show championship form D-3 enough side spin to slice it," said Wal-son. The ball came out clean but straight and finished in the same bunker that extinguished Olazabal's hopes. From an awkward stance, Walson caught his shot a little thin. It skipped to the top tier of the green, 30 feet above the pin. Watson's par putt was bold and carried 4 feet past the cup.

It hardly mattered when he missed the comebackcr. Woosnam's tee shot took all the trouble out of play. He needed to carry 260 yards to steer wide of the trees and fly the bunker. He managed both easily, An 8-iron shot put him In the fringe. Two putts put htm In the green coal.

Jodie Mudd, Ian Uaker-Flnch and Andrew hlagee finished three shots back at 8-under 280. Mudd shot 69, Baker-Finch and Magee 70. Three llooslers were led by 1979 Masters champion Fuzzy Zoeller, who closed with a 67 for a tie for 12th at 6-under 282. First-round co-leader Jim Gallagher Jr. tied for 15th at 5 under with a 71.

Olazabal played with Wadklns In the second to the last twosome, ahead of Watson and Woosnam. When his tee shot failed to fade and caught the bunker, he had 128 yards to the front of the green, 150 to the pin, all hard uphill. "I had to hit an 8-iron because I couldn't get another club over the face of the trap," said Olazabal.

It wasn't enough. Olazabal's ball landed on the bank In front of the green. It spun back Into a greenslde bunker, leaving him a 40-yard sand shot, perhaps golf's sternest test. He caught a bit too much sand, finished 35 feet below the hole and two-putted for bogey. Watson played a 3-wood off the tee but pushed the shot badly Into the trees.

He had 185 yards to the pin. He chose to play a low, cutting 3-lron. The problem was the lie. "I couldn't get the Iron on it to get By PHIL RICHARDS STAR STAFF WRITER Augusta, Ga. Neither three-time U.S.

Open champion Hale Irwin nor former Open and Masters tit list Fuzzy Zoeller won a major championship Sunday, but both showed why they have and how to do It. Irwin shot 30 on the back nine at Augusta National Golf Club for a 6-undcr-par 66 and Zoeller was Just a turn of the ball behind with a 67 In the final round of the 55th Masters. It was quite a twosome. "Walking up 17 1 said to Hale, 'One round Just blows you right out of It, you know," Zoeller related. "I didn't have any weird bounces today.

I had some yesterday." Third-round 75s were killers for both. Irwin tied for 10th place at 7-undcr 281. Zoeller was right behind at 6 under. Zoeller hasn't won on the I'GA Tour since 1986, when he earned three first-place checks. JIM GALLAGHER JR.

Most Importantly, as a top-24 finisher, Gallagher qualified for the 1992 Masters. "It was a great experience, one I'll always remember," said Gallagher.

"Everybody was here and it was a great week for everybody. When things got tough, I think I actually played harder for my family than myself." Gallagher got off nicely with birdies at 5, 6 and 8 that carried him to 6 under. He hit a 328-yard drive on No. 9, then lofted a 9-lron shot to within 5 feet of the pin. The putt wouldn't fall.

At 10, a fat 6-lron came up short. Gallagher's chip finished pin high, but he was left with an Augusta National putt. "It was about 5 feet and had about 3 feet of break," he said. He three-putted for double bogey and the afternoon became a matter of pulling himself together and getting it home.

"I told him a little story that I thought might help.

It Just wasn't necessary and 1 went over to him and told him to cool It. let's think about what's In front of this tee, not behind It." Watson wouldn't tell his story but Woosnam did.

Walson lost because he hit a bad tee shot, caught a bad lie and double-bogeyed the 72nd hole to fall from a share of the lead to a tie for third. He still hasn't won since 1987. He still hasn't griped about the breaks, either. And he won't.

"I admire Tom for the way he plays and through all this time he has battled his putter he never In his life has made an excuse." said Ben Crenshaw. "Tom said Don January used to say things to him and he'd turn around and say, 'Thank you very I hit my drive right down the middle and turned around and said, 'Thank you very Golf Is an exercise In class, It's only a shame It Isn't always practiced on both sides of the ropes.
