THE COURIER-JOURNAL TIMES, SUNDAY, JULY 16, 1972 That old 'bogeyman' docs him in on No. 16 6 1 was there and let it get aujay, Jack Nicklaus says stood over his putt, the sound of bagpipes in the distance intruded on the silence. The putt slid by the cup. It would be the only bogey on his scorecard in a 66, but it would remembered as the hole where his bid for the Grand Slam was lost. Not that a playoff with Trevino almost didn't occur.

After a par on each of the last two holes, Nicklaus came off the 18th green with a sad smile and with a shrug. He glanced at the scoreboard, which showed both TrfVino and Tony Jacklin ahead of him by a stroke. Then he walked into the brown wooden, shed where Royal and Ancient Golf Club officials registered each contestant's score. "Trevino's blown," somebody ex- claimed. Out on the 17th hole, Trevino was in the rough on his fourth shot, creating probable bogey six, maybe a double-bogey seven.

"He just holed his chip," somebody yelled. Outside the scorer's shed, Nicklaus caddy, Jimmy Dickinson, flung down his yellow vest in disgust. "He holed a chip shot for a five," he yelled to Nicklaus. "What?" Nicklaus said, his voice shrill in the shock. Moments later, Jacklin took three putts for a bogey six.

Now, if Trevino had a bogey: five on the 447-yard 18th hole, Nicklaus would qualify for an 18-hole playoff. When he emerged from the scorer's shed, he went into an office to watch television of Trevino's final hole. His arms were folded, the legs of his chocolate brown slacks crossed. "Hit a long drive, didn't he?" Nicklaus said. On the screen, with his flat swing, Trevino quickly floated an 8-iron shot close to the pin, assuring his par.

Nicklaus scratched his blond hair and departed without a word. Quickly, he was escorted toward the press tent where his wife, in a red-leather pants suit, waited for him. "Hi, there," she said, softly. "Beautiful round." He kissed her and held her for a moment while others congratulated him on his dramatic attempt. Then, inside the tent, he listened to the roar that greeted Trevino's winning par.

the front nine and a tie with Trevino for the lead. And the electricity kept flowing. When Jack dropped a six-foot putt for a birdie on the 10th, he led by a stroke. Another birdie came at the 11th with a five-foot putt. He was six under par now, going for a 65, which would be a course record for the Muirfield course.

After four more pars, Jack went to the tee of the par-three, 188-yard 16th hole tied with Trevino, who had birdied the 11th. Nicklaus chose a 4-iron, but his tee shot into the cooling wind rolled halfway down the bank into low rough on the left side of the green. "Another few feet in the air," he said later, "and it would have stayed on the green, about 25 feet from the cup." But it hadn't. And his pitch shot was too far left, too, about five feet. As he "I was there and let it get away," he said.

"I felt a 65 would do it. I had a 65 and let it get away." He let the Grand Slam get away, too. But in his disappointment, Jack Nicklaus also showed what makes him tick. Asked about the odds on a Grand Slam in another year, he laughed. "They're pretty high now," he said.

Then, seriously, he added: "I shot 279, and 19 times out of 20, that'll probably win. But it didn't. That's what you're fighting, that somebody'll beat you. For 16 rounds, to put it together, that's difficult. I'm disappointed because I felt I could put it together, but I didn't.

I got beat. That's why everybody enters and plays. You don't want to give it to one guy." Then Jack stood up and said: "Lee Trevino is some good player. If I had to lose, I'm glad it was to him." By DAVE ANDERSON Mew York Timtt Newt Service MUIRFIELD, Scotland Striding off the seventh tee yesterday, Jack Nicklaus turned to a friend in his gallery. "Ask Barbara to stop at No.

9 and get me a cold lemonade," he said, alluding to his wife. "Tell her no lime juice. It's dry enough out here without any lime juice." The dryness was from the electricity. In the final round of the British Open Golf Championship, Jack Nicklaus was showing what makes him tick. At the start, he had been six shots Lee Trevino, the leader, but he had to win to keep his chances alive for a Grand Slam of the world's four major titles in one year the Masters, U.S.

Open, British Open and Professional Golfers' Association tournament. As he gulped the lemonade on the 10th tee, Nicklaus had a four-under-par 32 for Trevino sinks 30-foot chip and beats Nicklaus for title rv i 1 ivtfi I -J i p' X-rk rough and was in three inches of heather and thistle with his fourth. Jacklin pitched up about 15 feet short of the flag and was lying three while Trevino was four and not on the putting surface. Jacklin appeared sure to win, possibly by two strokes. Trevino hitched his shoulder, fingered his cap, stalked to the green to survey the situation and then chipped it in from 30 feet, just as he had done twice in a brilliant round of 66 Friday.

Shaken, Jacklin three-putted for a bogey six. He missed from about three feet on the second one. That put Trevino in front by one.

After talks with officials of the International and Icelandic chess federations, Fischer's lawyer, Paul Marshal, announced the challenger had withdrawn his objection to the presence of movie cameras in the playing hall "so long as they don't blow his mind." Marshal also asked the officials to reconsider their decision to uphold the referee in declaring a forfeit because Fischer missed the second game of the 24-game series Thusday.

Fischer boycotted the session, saying the cameras distracted him. Marshal said new evidence was being prepared that might stave off cancellation of the match. He WOuldn't say what the evidence was. Fischer's failure to turn up for his second encounter with the world champion gave Spassky a 2-0 lead. Spassky needs 12 points to retain the title, Fischer 12 12 to dethrone him.

He put his second about 35 feet to the left of the flag. The putt was about a foot short. Jack watched intently, as the ball rolled toward the flag. Then he cuddled his putter and grimaced in despair as the dream of the sweep became impossible at least for this year. Jacklin put his second in the bunker on the right of the 18th green and made a bogey to drift back to third.

An engineer tested the noise level of the cameras and found no difference in the sound in the empty hall with or without the cameras running.

In each case the noise level was 55 decibels. The Icelandic organizers earlier agreed to remove the television and movie cameras, although revenue from the rights helped raise the total prize money to $300,000, the richest chess purse in history. Asked if Fischer planned to pack up and go home, Marshal replied: "No. Otherwise I wouldn't be here." Marshal arrived yesterday morning, joining another New York lawyer for Fischer, Andrew Davis. Spassky went salmon fishing to get away from it all.

Fischer, as usual, was inaccessible. He was closeted in his hotel, presumably in quiet observance of the Sabbath his religion recognizes from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. The feeling was that Fischer would not play the scheduled third game today. But no one knew for certain. said getting a man with the business acumen of Finley and a basketball legend like Rupp Strengthens the ABA.

Asked if he would install in basketball the frills that have made his Kansas City and now Oakland team more colorful in baseball, Finley replied: "Frills? I don't like to call them that. When anything is dead it needs to be revived. They were necessities." A few years ago, Finley decided he wanted to move his American League baseball franchise from Kansas City to Louisville, at least temporarily. The American League directors wouldn't approve the transfer. The franchise was moved to Oakland, which is now in first place in the Western Division of the American League.

Finley's handling of managers in baseball has frequently drawn criticism.

Palmer says he'll defend Westchester Classic title MUIRFIELD, Scotland (AP) Arnold Palmer, stricken with a sore back in the British Open, said yesterday he would defend his title in the $250,000 Westchester Golf Classic Aug. 10-13. The 42-year-old veteran, who shot a third round 69 Friday after receiving medical treatment on the course and followed with a 71 yesterday, made his plans known to Fred Corcoran, Westchester tournament director.

Palmer, who hasn't won one of the major titles since the 1964 Masters, captured the $50,000 first prize in the Classic last year with a record 270, shooting a 64 in the first round.

Fittipaldi edges Jackie Stewart in British Prix Associated Press BRANDS HATCH, England Emerson Fittipaldi of Brazil drove a Lotus to a narrow victory over Jackie Stewart of Scotland in the British Grand Prix yesterday and increased his lead in the world drivers championship standings. Fittipaldi covered the 76 laps in one hour, 47 minutes, 50.2 seconds for an average speed of 112.06 miles per hour and crossed the finish line about five seconds ahead of Stewart, who was in a Tyrrell. Peter Revson of New York was third in a McLaren, followed by Chris Amon of New Zeland in a Matra and Denis Hulme of New Zeland in a McLaren. The victory was Fittipaldi's third of the season and gave him a total of 43 points, 16 more than Stewart. His other triumps were in the Spanish and Belgium Grand Prix.

Jackie Ickx of Belgium took the early lead and held it through the first 50 laps, then was forced into the pits with oil spewing from the gearbox and was out e-f the race. Fittipaldi, who had been in second! place from the outset, then charged into the lead and held it the rest of the way despite the determined effort of Stewart. The Scotchman said after the race his car was not braking properly and he could not catch Fittipaldi. Sweden's Ronnie Peterson, running" fourth in a March going into the final lap, ran out of fuel, skidded off the track and spun into a bank. He escaped unhurt.

Of the 27 starters, only 18 still were running at the finish and just six had completed 76 laps. There were no serioui accidents. Associated Press Unsteady Jim Colbert and erratic George Johnson are a little more confident today, heading into thefinal 18 holes of the Greater Milwaullae Open Golf Tournament. The two, who have but two major victories between them in 11 combined years on the pro golf tour, have a right to be. They share a two-stroke lead after the third round of the $125,000 tourney.

It was the second straight day Colbert and Johnson tied for the lead. They did it by firing two-under-par 69s, for a 54-hole total of 202 11-under par on the Tripoli Golf Club course. Two strokes behind was slender Buddy Allin, who also shot a 69 yesterday. Seven golfers are tied at eight-under. Among them were Bob Bourne and Bert Green, who each shot 67s yesterday.

Others at 205 were Jim Wiechers, Grier Jones, Mike Hill, Gibby Gilbert and rookie Billy Ziobro, who had been one-down after 36 holes. Colbert, who's last major victory came in the 1969 Monsanto Open, described his round yesterday as "very boring and unspectacular." Johnson, a 1971 Azalea champion, had much more to say, however. "I'll be here tomorrow afternoon at the same time to tell you how I won. Expects to 'play well' "I always seem to have one bad round," he said. "I got away with a bad round today because I got some help from my putter.

So tomorrow (today) I figure I should be super." By midafternoon yesterday, there was a three-way tie for the lead at minus-10 involving Allin, Johnson and Colbert. The trio struggled for the lead most of the afternoon Saturday. Johnson missed a chance to take the lead by himself by settling for a par on the 18th hole when his eight-foot putt came up just short. Colbert wasn't as forthright as Johnson about his chances in the final round. "I have no idea what it will take to win," he said.

"I don't really think in terms that I'm going to win, but I'm expecting to play well." Johnson was mad at himself for not doing even better. "I shouldn't have had to scramble like that, but I hit a lot of bad shots out of the fairway," he said. "I went to sleep out there and made too many mental mistakes. Then akter I bogeyed three holes out of four on the front nine I started playing too fast, just trying to get back into the clubhouse."
