"I had a two-or three-stroke lead over Dave Hill at that point, but if the ball hadn't hit the cup it would have gone right off the green and who knows what may have happened. "That's the putt that won the tournament for me." Jacklin went on to make a rout of it, winning by seven strokes as he collected his second U.S. Open title. The victory made him financially independent and established him as a national hero in Britain. By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, Tony Jacklin The putt hit the back of the cup, leaped, into the air like a game fish fighting the, line and then dropped in etching the scene indelibly in Tony Jack-lin's memory.

"That's the one I'll always remember," the personable young Englishman said. It was in the last round of the 1970 U.S. Open Championship' at much-maligned Hazeltine in Chaska. Minn. Jacklin, bidding to become the first Englishman in SO years to win the American national title, was leading when he approached the ninth green.

He was faced with a very difficult, 35-foot downhill putt on the lightning-fast green. "I was putting good," Jacklin recalled. "You get streaks like that and I got mine at the right time." "But I hit that one too hard. I didn't want to leave it short and I was pumped up. It was on line but too hard.

It rolled right over the hole and jumped straight up in the air, then dropped back in." "It was going so fast I swear it must have gone more than a foot up, maybe a foot-and- tant he's stroked in his "It was in the 1965 U.S. Open at Bcllerive in St. Louis," Player said. "I had a three stroke lead over Kel Nagle.with three holes to play. "On the 16th; a very long hole.

I hit it in a bunker and then three-putted for a double Nagle was playing ahead of me and I heard a big yell from the gallery. I found out he'd made birdie on the 17th. "Now, from a three-shot lead, I was back to eyen. The momentum was going the other way and I was faced with making par on the last hole to save a tie and force a playoff." "I drove the fairway and had a five iron to the green. I hit it 18 feet from the pin to make it an easy par.

That may be the most important one." Player went on to beat Nagle in an 18-hole playoff for the title the next day, completing his sweep of all the world's major championships. He was only the third man to do so. "I've hit many better shots, but none more important," he said. "It was so important because I was going for the grand slam. And if I'd missed, I may have never gotten another chance." At ARNOLD Palmer, U.S.A., putts successfully on the 5th green, in the British Open Golf Championship play at Muirfield, Scotland today.

Johnny Bench had four hits, driving in three runs with two singles, a double and his 22nd home run of the year. The RBIs upped his major league lead in that department to 66. "That was really sweet," said the Reds' slugging catcher. "The 4-for-4 days are really great." Sure they are, but what about the 8-for-8 days? That's what Chicago's Billy Williams enjoyed against Houston in the Cubs' doubleheader split.

Williams homered in each game and also had a double and five singles. The streak was interrupted only by a sacrifice fly which does not count as a time at bat. Rick Monday also had two homers and Joe Pepitone one for the Cubs. "Eight-for-eight?" said Williams. "I've never had 8-for-8 even in Little League." The Astros overcame.

They shouldn't have bothered. The teams battled into the 15th when Atlanta finaJly pushed across the winning run with the help of two wild'pitches by reliever Lowell Palmer. Gil Garrido opened with a single, moved up on a wild pitch and long fly before scoring on Palmer's second wild pitch.
