His approaches found the deep, white-sand bunkers. His putts wouldn't fall. His drives went awry. But still he kept trying, fighting it all the way.

He swung so hard at one tee shot he almost left his feet and got some good-natured ribbing from Nicklaus. He was tied with Trevino, first two days play. He scored from five feet for a birdie on the second hole, then three-putted for bogey on the second. Then the short stick began to work. The undeniably talented but sometimes temperamental man saved par from 10 feet on the third hole.

He ran in an 18-footer for deuce on the sixth. He needed only an 18-'inch putt for birdie on the par-five eighth and chipped to 12 inches to save par on the ninth. But the big move was still to come. It came on the back nine, and it started quickly. He dropped a 30-footer on the 10th.

He two-putted from' 30 feet for birdie on the par-five 13th. He scored from 15 feet on the 16th. And he took the lead alone with a sidehill putt of 16-18 feet on the final hole, a stroke that sent him leaping into the air in joy. said. "But, the way I was playing, I figured there was no reason I couldn't birdie a couple of those holes going home and that's just what happened." Nicklaus, meanwhile, was having his putting problems.

He was bunkered on the first and missed a six-foot par-saving putt. He managed to birdie 'the par five second, coming out of a trap to four feet. But, with Weiskopf and Miller charging, and Nichols making a move, Nicklaus began to falter. He three-putted the ninth for bogey. He three-putted the 11th for bogey.

He got one back with a 12-15 foot putt on the 12th, but quickly reverted. He threeputted the 13th for par, after reaching the green on the par five hole in He missed from eight feet for birdie on the 15th, a failure that had him taking an unhappy little hop of frustration. Coming home, over the last three holes, his mouth was a tight, grim line. Johnnie Riggle, who stopped counting the milestones four years ago. Right, R.

K. (Ballhawk) Warren once again is Mesa CC club champ, having beaten out Wayne Manning for the title. Tom Finley found Mesa CC's 16th much to his liking last weekend. He aced the par-3 then found plenty people waiting in the clubhouse for a round of drinks when he walked off the 18th green. This week's SSPGA pro-am is scheduled for San Marcos CC Friday, with Carl Watkins host pro.

Clubmaker Gene Lesch was happy to learn Larry Chesin was using one of the Arizona CC pro's. "Bite" wedges when he scored his ace during Friday's pro-am at Bellair GC. It was Larry's, seventh career hole-in-one. Pro Bob Wolfe informs that the pro-am scheduled at Camelot GC on April 25 will be a pro-senior event. Amateur participants be 50 or over.

1 TWO GENTLEMEN with a world of know-how in this business of golf will be duly honored during the' Arizona Golf Association's Seniors Championship at Camelback CC next month. Both seniors, incidentally, they are Arthur Snyder and Bill Farias. They've been named to the AGA's Hair of founded 1968, and become the 23rd and 24th individuals to be so honored. Snyder, highly regarded course superintendent at Paradise Valley CC for years, actually has had two Careers as a superintendent afid valued contributor to turfgrass knowledge. First spanned more than 25 years at two clubs in western Pennsylvania, during which time he engaged in establishment of 1 turfgrass research projects at Penn State University.

Both Snyder and Farkas have kept golf going in their families, too. Snyder's sons are well known in the superintendent field at Valley courses, while Farkas' boys followed him by growing up into golf pro posts.

Much more could be wril-ten about both.

'Farkas, also from east of the' Mississippi; got his start in golf by caddying at age 12 in Akron, Ohio. For the last 14 years he's served as head pro at Mary vale GC.

The veteran professional is 'best known, probably, for his contributions to junior golf in Arizona over the past decade. Bill started i Junior Swing School at Maryvale GC some 10 years ago with hglp of Nels Tooker, developing such fine players as Bill Meyers who won the 1971 state amateur and Pam Tynar, runnerup in the women's state amateur at I age 15.

Trevino, promoted to make another of his off-again, m-again appearances here after he won the PGA National Championship last fall, shot himself out of title contention with a 74.

He was tied with Palmer and the other Miller, Allen Miller, at 215. Allen, no relation to Johnny, had a 72. Player, the little South African who won this crown and the British Open title last year, went to a 73 eight shots higher than Johnny Miller, his playing partner and was at 219. U.S. Open champion Hale Irwin had a 71-218.

The dramatic swing from Nicklaus to Weiskopt' was reminiscent of the third round of the Heritage Classic just two weeks ago. Nicklaus owned a six-shot lead going into that one, but shot a 74 and Weiskopf tied him with a 68. Nicklaus, however, won the Heritage on the final day. "Yes," Weiskopf agreed after a question, "this is a lot like it but I sure hope it doesn't turn out the same way." Weiskopf recovered from that disappointment to score a front-running victory in the Greensboro Open last week and came into this event with his formidable attack at a peak. He was listed as the second favorite behind Nicklaus.

Now, suddenly as summer lightning, roles are reversed. He built his charge some fantastic putting. But that part of his game was slow in coming. "I really think I played just about as good in the first two rounds," he said, "but the putts didn't fall."
