Chicago Tribune, Sunday, June 7, 1987 Section 3 9 GOLF Kite flies high despite some turbulence ROUNDUP 4 133. Rodriguez made an eagle-3 with an 18-foot putt on the sixth hole, a 485-yard par 5, and also finished with a 69 for a 136 total. British Masters Mark McNul-ty and Ian Woosnam shared the third-round lead with 9-under 207s in Woburn, England. McNulty defied a ferocious wind and driving rain to shoot a 1 -under 71. Woosnam, who shot a 72, had an unusual end to his round.

He waited several minutes for a ruling before holing a 12-foot birdie putt on the last green. There was a sudden downpour as he played his next-to-last shot, and the path between his ball and the hole was covered with hailstones while thunder and lightning flashed overhead. Woosnam thought play should have been stopped because of the conditions. The tourney director said he did not think there was any danger from the lightning, and Woosnam made his putt. British Amateur Paul Mayo ended Peter McEvoy's hopes of winning the tournament for the third time by scoring a 3-and-l vic-toty over two rounds at Prestwick, Scotland.

McEvoy, the 1977 and 1978 champion, was a shot down after the first 18 holes and never got back on even terms. Froth Chicago Tribune wlree 'Tom Kite learned Saturday that the Tournament Players Club at Potomac, new home of the Kemper Open, has almost as many personalities as it has greens. Kite, a finesse golfer, cruised to a four-stroke lead with four holes remaining in the third round by mastering the stadium course. But he stumbled over the next three holes and finished with a 3-under-par 68 for the day and a 12-under 201 total. Kite held a one-stroke lead over Chris Perry, who shot a 70.

"You have to hit good shots or it will penalize you," Kite said of the TPC. "You can't slack off on this golf course no matter how big a lead you have." Kite, who has won at least one tourney in the last six years, bogeyed No. 4 but birdied 5, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 13 to reach 14 under. But he suffered bogeys on the next three holes to fall into a tie with Perry before regaining the lead with a birdie on the 18th hole. "I was playing so well, so IS, 16 and 17 were more surprises than anything else.

They were not good shots, but they were not terrible shots," said Kite, who is looking for his 10th career win and first since the 1986 Western Open.

But she hadn't expected to make up the entire seven-shot deficit in one day. "I look at every scoreboard. I wasn't surprised. It was okay," said Okamoto, who shot a 6-under 65 the best round of the tournamentto tie Cathy Morse for the lead after three rounds. "I am thinking two or three under, not six," added Okamoto, who matched Morse's 54-hole score of 5-under-par 208.

Open sectional qualifying at Medinah Country Club might have been disappointed when they learned they wouldn't be playing it's famed No. 3 championship course. It's likely they didn't stay disappointed for long. Medinah No. 1, which will play host to the 36-hole final step before the June 18-21 U.S.

Open at San Francisco's Olympic Club, is one of the great unknown courses in the Chicago area. It has always been, and always will be, overshadowed by No. 3, which will be the site of the 1988 U.S. Senior Open and the 1990 U.S. Open.

But No. 1 can stand on its own. "It is, without a doubt, one of the finest tests of golf in the Midwest," said Dennis Davenport, executive director of the Chicago District Golf Association, which conducts the U.S. Open qualifiers. "It's one of the two golf courses in Chicago that really doesn't get enough credit.

Medinah No. 1 and Olympia Fields South have courses next to them that have bigger reputations." No. 1, which has been used in local qualifying before, gets its chance to show off because of work being done on No. 3's 1st, 15th and 16th greens in preparation for the Senior Open. It has a 72.8 course rating by the CDGA, while No.

3's championship rating is one of the highest in the country at 75.3. It is not as long as No. 3 and will be played at 6,308 yards for the sectional. The 608-yard, par-S ninth hole and the 445-yard, par-4 12th are highlights. A field of 78 players will be playing for nine spots at The Olympic Club.

Those nine spots could be hard to come by. Of the 63 professionals, six are playing SpsdsS Qcnus! Ouy Now end Gst Car s1S9 Velus flfSspter Pcdicgo at Flo Extra Cost!
