The United States won the 30th World Cup golf championships here today with an 11-under-par score of 565.

Canada and Australia tied for tecond place with scores of 572. Canadian David Barr won the "international Trophy for the best individual score, with a four-L-xound, 12-under-par total of 276. i American Rex Caldwell fin-bhed second on 279 followed by Victor Regaldo of Mexico.

Ireland finished fourth on 574 and Spain and Japan equal fifth on 579. Yesterday, Canada made up a six-stroke deficit to take the third round lead. Anderson fought back from the desolation of shooting a nine-over-par 81 the previous day to match Barr's three-under 69. "It was how I expected to play all week. I finally contributed something," Anderson said.

Australia did even better than Canada by posting the day's two lowest rounds. Grady carded a 67 and Gale a 68 as they leaped from joint fourth, 11 shots behind, to Paul Hibbert scores 2 Vies lose on points to Queensland Coach Norm Osborne congratulates a delighted Michael HUlardt on his record-breaking 1000 metres at Olympic Park on Saturday. Hillardt runs hot in Vic mile warm-up Combine rocks section leader By BILL MACKAY Remington-Kensington caused a major upset when it beat Section Two leader Essendon 98-91 in the 11th round of Hotham pennant bowls on Saturday. It was a well-deserved win by the Combine which had been having a lean period this season. Major factors in the upset were top performances by teams captained by Brian Paine and Eddie Davies.

They downed Essendon's top skippers, Norm Collins and Bruce Mears, by five and two shots respectively. Essendon slipped back to second position on percentage behind Doncaster, which scored an unimpressive 109-102 win over Coatesville. Ivanhoe has thrown out a challenge to the Section Two leaders after downing Sunshine 108-87, with skipper Bill Unswortn and his team of Norm Clark, Ted Boyall and Alby Clark taking team honors and top scoring in Division One with a 41-7 card. John Snell's team kept up its unbeaten run, but only after a tense struggle with Sunshine skipper Don Hinks. Snell won 28-23 for a season's tally of 10 wins and 147 shots up.

Kew maintained Its winning form when it scored a hard-earned 99-88 win over an undermanned Brighton, which was without its top skipper, John King (unavailable), and Jerome Shor-land (ill). It was Kew's 10th consecutive win for the season and its 29th from 30 outings. The side has taken a firm grip on the Section Three ladder and only a startling reversal of form in the remaining seven home-and-away games will keep it out of the finals. Lilydale held on to top spot in Section One after its game with Beaumaris was abandoned when a flash storm flooded its greens with only 66 of the 100-end match completed. The Dales were trailing 63-65 and appeared to be in a spot of trouble.

Each side took one premiership point and that was sufficient to keep Lilydale in top position following Hampton's drubbing at Caulfield South. The Southerners are right back in business as challengers to Lilydale after losing four of their five early games. Keilor joined Caulfield South as a threat with a 121-81 home win over Glenferrie Hill where skipper Bill Young and his trio of Geoff Henderson, Tom McArdale and Tony Di Biase top scored 42-14. Moonee Ponds consolidated Its lead in Section Four by beating its nearest opponent, Cheltenham, 101-91 after scores were tied 37-37 at the tea break. Rick Casey (6 up), Jim Yates (5) and Bryce Stewart (2) were winning captains.

Moonee Ponds is a game and a half clear of Burden Park, its opponent next Saturday. Burden Park had to pull out all stops before beating Keysborough 90-85. A big improvement will be necessary if it is to keep within range of the leader. The ladder with shots up or down in brackets: SECTION ONE: Lilydale (80) 14 points: Hampton (15 dn.) 13: Caullield South (95) 12: Keilor (70) 12: McKinnon (83) II; Beaumaris (48) 11; Altona (100) 10: MCC (39) 9: West Coburg (190 dn.) 6: Tas. fumbles but heads SA Caldwell and Cook could manage only 72 and 73 respectively and immediately headed for the practice area without speaking to reporters.

Saturday belonged to Anderson, a gutsy 28-year-old battler who had just begun a three-month break from the game at home in Toronto when he was called in as a substitute two weeks ago. "Friday was just one of those days when whatever you do doesn't work out," he said. "Today I wanted to come back with a good score for Dave's sake because he is playing so well. "I didn't want him winning the individual event by 15 shots and from this leg-side stroke on his way David Hookes: let-offs Everything seemed to be running for Hookes as Small dropped a sitter at mid-wicket when he was 91 off new import bowler Neil Williams and 24 runs later survived a straightforward chance to wicket-keeper Woolley off Clough. But his luck finally ran out at 142 when he miscued trying to hit Williams down the ground and gave Peter Faulkner an easy catch at mid-off.

With Peter Sleep, Hookes added 121 in 152 minutes for the sixth wicket. Clough then came back to remove Sleep for 51 and Steve Gentle for 13 to make SA 8343. He then trapped Sam Parkinson lbw with the next ball. It was Clough's second best first-class performance, his best being 654 last season also against South Australia. Besides the dropped catches Tasmania also had to contend with the loss during the afternoon of Woolley, who had to leave the ground after suffering a recurrence of a finger injury.

Boon deputised behind the stumps. Williams also added to his and Tasmania's problems by sending down 17 no-balls and one wide in a costly debut for his adopted State. stroke behind in third place. But with Caldwell shooting razor-sharp golf, the US had opened up a six-shot lead over Australia after nine holes. Caldwell played the front, nine of the 6400-metre Pondok Indah golf course in 32, four under par, to take his team to the front as Canada faded to third.

He finished with a 66, six under par. Team-mate John Cook returned a 74. For Australia, Terry Gale had a 70 for a 72-hole total of 286, two under, and Wayne Grady a 76, also for 286. Barr followed up rounds of 66, 67 and 69 with a more modest 74, Victoria is in its fifth match of the Shield competition and is yet to register a point. "We've been close a few times," Bright said.

"And today was just another example," he said as he reflected on Queensland's narrow first innings margin. VICTORIA FIRST INNINGS (Resumed Sat. 71331) R. BRIGHT, and McDermott It P. HYDE, Phillips, McDermott 5 D.

Brisbane golf professional Peter McWhinney, known by his mates as the "Maca-damia Nut" because of his occasional crazy antics, yesterday won the $30,000 Queensland PGA title at Royal Queensland by two shots.

Local favorite, Ossie Moore, was second on 285 and Rob Mc-Naughton of NSW third on 288. McWhinney, 27, began yesterday three shots ahead of Moore and picked up birdies at the third, fifth, eighth and 13th holes and had bogeys at the fourth and 12th. He withdrew from last month's Australian and Victorian Opens dissatisfied with his form and went back to school at Kooralbyn Valley, where he worked on his game for 10 days with Norman Von Nida. "The Von showed me how to control my bad shots and to know where they are going instead of just spraying them all over the place," McWhinney said after his win. McWhinney won $5400, his biggest prize yet in golf, for his first major four-day victory.

At the Brunswick Street Oval, third placed South Melbourne struggled for runs in a game marred by injuries to finish with the small total of 195. When the score was 32, South opener Wayne Phillips was hit in the eye by a ball which came off his hand. He was taken to St Vincents hospital for treatment He later returned to add eight runs before being trapped leg before for 19. Later, Fitzroy's opening batsman John Stephenson was hit on the head by a rising ball from speedster Geoff Fontaine and retired hurt.

At stumps, the Lions were 011. A combination of youth and experience saw Richmond bundle Essendon out for a meagre 143 at the Punt Road Oval. Darren Foley, playing in his fourth game, took 539 with his in-swingers while veteran Jeff Russ took 433. In other games. North Melbourne compiled a respectable 265 against Northcote with skipper Jeff Moss making 79; Hawthorn-East Melbourne collapsed for 142 against a second-string Footscray attack; St Kilda put itself in a winning position against Ringwood with a total of 6297, while University struggled to make 229 against Carlton.

By RON CARTER Hillardt's coach Norm Osborne, said: "Given the breaks on Thursday Mike will run better than he has ever run before." If Osborne is right the mile championship will be long remembered because either Hillardt or New Zealand's John Walker, a former world mile record-holder, should set an Australian record. The mile championship is part of the annual Emil Zatopek 10.000 metres Classic meeting, which is being sponsored by 'The Age and Wang Computers. Achilles tendon trouble has forced Rick Mitchell to withdraw from his long awaited first race against Sydney's young sensational sprinter Darren Clark on Thursday night O'Dea beats marathon mark first up ADELAIDE. South Australian Lisa O'Dea smashed the Australian women's marathon record by five minutes in the United States yesterday in her first attempt at the distance. O'Dea, 23, ran the Rocket City marathon in Alabama in a time of 2 hr.

32 min. 21 sec, blitzing the Australian record of 2:37.12 set by Jill Collwell. Her performance was the second fastest debut marathon time recorded by a woman, according to South Australian athletics director Brian Chapman. Liston ends grass jinx Schoolteacher Billy Liston finally mastered the grass track to win the 22nd Broadford Gift on Saturday. Since he crossed from amateur ranks five years ago.

Liston has had great difficulty handling the grass surfaces of the Victorian Athletic League circuit Running off 7.75 metres In the 120 metres race, Liston held off Adrian Scott (7m) and outmarker John Colman (10.25m), to win in 12.31 sec. all Victoria of 63.44 and then went on to win the under-19 title. The other Victorian in the team are Helen Pawlowski (100m hurdles), Cathy Wilson (400m hurdles) and Peter Copeland (3000m walk). Promising NSW sprinter Miles Murphy, 16, was named the best overall athlete of the competition. He was also chosen in the Australian team for the 400 metres.

Murphy won the Under-17 100, 200 and 400 metre events and was a member of NSW's record-breaking 4 100 metre relay team. The All-Australian learn is: GIRLS: 100m and 200m: S. Brodenck (WA). 400m: J. Walker (NSW).

Shirley Michael Hillardt is setting himself to run the fastest mile yet in Australia on Thursday night and at the same time reach the Olympic Games 1500 metres qualifying standard. Hillardt enhanced his prospects of achieving both targets with a record-smashing 1000 metres at Olympic Park on Saturday. It was a perfect lead-up race to Thursdays Victorian mile title final.

Hillardt, Victoria's athlete of the moment, asked for the 1000 metres record attempt to be put on especially and, with the backing of two training companions in the field, it was a dashing success. He clocked 2min 18.0 seconds for the two and a half laps and shattered three national records two of which had stood for eight years or more. First he rewrote the Australian open record of 2:19.7 set by well performed Kenyan international John Kipkurgat on the same track in 1975. Then he erased the Australian national mark of 2:20.8, which had stood to the credit of the 1968 Olympic Games 800 metres champion and world record holder Ralph Doubell since March 1970. Thirdly, Hillardt beat his own best-by-an-Australian-anywhere record of 2:18.2, which he established in London in June last year.

On Thursday night he will ask for time keepers to be stationed at the 1500 metres to record his time there on the way to the mile finish. He is hoping to clock 3:38.0 or less to qualify for the Olympic 1500 standard. His best last year was 3:38.4. For Saturday's 1000 metres record attempt he engaged the help of training companions Don Hanly and Gerald Sheahan. Hanly, an administrative manager at VFL headquarters, led through the first 450 metres, with Sheahan taking the pace for the next 200 metres, leaving Hillardt to battle it through over the final 350 metres.

"I've been wanting to run one of these for a long time and it worked out well today with conditions almost ideal," he said. "Everyone helped me, it was great I was hoping to get down to 2:16 or so, but I ran a personal best and got the record, so I'm not disappointed." Aths title ADELAIDE. Victoria won the Australian All Schools track and field championships here yesterday, ending New South Wales' hopes of a fifth consecutive title. Victoria finished strongly and ended the three-day contest with a score of 698.5 points. NSW (668) was second, followed by Queensland (565), South Australia (542) and Western Australia (463).

The Victorians trailed for most of the first two days and bad only a one-point lead after the completion of yesterday's morning session, but picked up a host of first places in the afternoon to win the trophy for the first time. Vincent Muccitelli, 16, who set a championship record in the boy's under-17 hammer, was one of four Victorians named in an all-Australian team at the end of the competition. Muccitelli, from Jordanville Technical School, broke the record of 60.54 metres with a throw BRISBANE. Queensland survived a tense first hour to earn four first innings points in the Sheffield Shield match against Victoria at the Brisbane Cricket Ground yesterday. Stand-in skipper Jeff Thomson then challenged Victoria's Ray Bright to set the scene for an exciting final day.

At stumps victoria was 3186 after Queensland had declared at 7. 9354 one run ahead of Victoria's first innings total. "Victoria is in the hot spot with no points in the Shield competi- Hon so far and it has nothing to lose." Thomson said last night. "Queensland went into tins match determined to get four i points and if we go down chasing an outright It won't worry me in 'the slightest" It was speedster Rod McCurdy who gave Victoria a chance for first innings points with a fiery four wicket burst after Queensland resumed yesterday morning at 5300, just S3 runs behind on first innings. Overnight batsmen Glenn Trimble and Ray Phillips looked set to give the home team a worthwhile lead on the perfect 'Gabba pitch.

But McCurdy, using the second new ball, was able to send back Phillips for eight and Graham Whyte (0) in successive deliveries. It left Queensland a shaky 7327, still requiring 27 runs.

Holloway 16. ESSINDON First mnion B. Salmon, ReilfeL Foley S. Sendri. Rogers, Foley 15 9 DEVONPORT Tasmania, despite a series of dropped catches, injury and no-balls, took first innings points against South Australia in the Sheffield Shield match at Devonport Oval yesterday.

And the man who did most to help Tasmania achieve its success was big fast bowler Peter Clough, who took 679 off 30 overs and triggered a South Australian collapse in which the last five wickets fell for 39 runs. South Australia, chasing Tasmania's first innings total of 389, was all out for 348. At stumps, Tasmania was 278, giving it an overall lead of 119 runs. David Boon was at the crease on 24 with Steve Small on 13. With only one day remaining, the game seems destined for a draw unless there is a declaration midway through today by Tasma-nian captain Roger Woolley.

South Australian captain David Hookes, who returned to form yesterday with a hard-hitting 142 said: "I have been disappointed by 'Tasmania's negative attitude so far and I really wonder if Woolley is serious about making a game of it." Tasmania suffered from a fit of the fumbles in the field yesterday, dropping four catches on top of the two missed on Saturday. Hookes benefited most with let-offs at 11, 21, 91 and 125. Despite this, Hookes showed he has all but recovered from a recent bout of pneumonia which had robbed him of form and fitness, belting 18 4s in a dashing 270-minute stay. While he was at the wicket, cutting, driving and pulling with awesome power. South Australia looked to have every chance of overhauling Tasmania's 389.

Australia in soccer semi SINGAPORE, 11 Dec Australia qualified for the semi-finals of the Merlion Cup soccer tournament when it defeated Thailand 2-0 last night John Kosmina headed the first goal in the 26th minute, completing a move which began with a long throw by Charlie Yankos from the right sideline. The second goal was scored after 76 minutes by Ken Murphy, who blasted home a 40-metre free kick after Joe Watson had been brought down. Australia has a five-day break before meeting South Korea in a semi-final on Thursday. China will play Singapore on Wednesday in the other semi-final. Demon bowlers in tons of trouble Melbourne's woes in the 1983 District cricket competition continued at the Albert Ground on Saturday when Collingwood, led by century-makers David Jordan and captain-coach Trevor Laughlin, compiled 8-371.

The Demons, lying in 13th place on the ladder, sent Collingwood in to bat in perfect conditions on a wicket that gave little assistance to the beleaguered Melbourne bowlers. Melbourne's cause was not helped by 15 no balls and some poor fielding. The 18-year-old Jordan was dropped after making three and went on to make 107 in 276 minutes, including 11 boundaries. Yet the day belonged to Laughlin, a former Victorian and Australian batsman. His innings of 123 was a typically aggressive effort that included five 4s and six 6s, three of which landed in the adjoining tennis courts.

If past games between the two sides are any indication, then Melbourne has nothing to look forward to next week when it bats. Last time they met, Melbourne was bundled out for 93 and forced to follow on. The chief wicket-taker then was Laughlin, with 420 in the first innings followed up by 419 in the second innings. Undefeated Just Jeans Cup leader Prahran will begin the long chase for runs at Toorak Park next week after lowly Waverley made a respectable 7264, including a fine innings of 83 by middle order batsman Michael Hewitt.
