ki( 2nd ED. 7. THE HARTFORD COURANT: Sunday, August 21, 1983 D17 "GREATER HARTFORD OPEW; airm Local It's a Free-for-All at the Top Pan Am Sweep Associated Press round, white dice. If there's a man among them capable of a finishing 64, consult your local clairvoyant, peg the winner and bet the farm. Pooley is a quiet kind of dude whose credo is, "Faith, brother, faith." He's traveled a long, hard washboard road since joining the tour in 1976.

The man loves this golf course, because he takes such enjoyment in making birdies. He's won one tournament in IVt touring years, and an eagle and five birdies Saturday indicates he has designs on at least one more before he settles down in one spot (probably Arizona). Pooley defends Wethersfield CC, saying, "The trend is to make golf courses longer and harder. But what's wrong with shooting low scores once in a while? People like to see birdies, too." down one, a birdie hole, and if you don't birdie, you feel like you're already behind." Pooley's eagle came from 20 feet and his longest bird from 30, on the first hole. Irwin termed his birdie at No.

16 "rather adventurous." He needed what he called "a great four-wood shot" and a 20-foot putt to bring it off. But bring it off he did and this is a very interesting golf tournament, because this is, for the 32nd and final time, Wethersfield. Both Don Pooley and Hale Irwin are in fine position to win the Last of the Blasts. But if the wind dies down (and the crick don't rise) the winner could come from anywhere south of the Massachusetts line. So consult the stars, bet the farm if you dare and prepare for the Last Playoff at Wethersfield.

The argument comes from Irwin, who birdied four times and registered a frustrating bogey on the par 5 14th. "I've played the par 5s in only 3 under," he said in the tone of a man with a serious problem to solve before bedtime. "Tom (Kite) and I both bo-geyed Number 14," he added remorsefully. "I guarantee, if somebody had shot us right there, we wouldn't have felt it." Irwin's quarrel with the golf course is, in effect, its affability. "In this tournament there are 15 to 20 guys who are bunched.

You know they are all going to birdie the same holes. At a course like, well, Firestone, for example, there are holes that are clearly long, difficult holes. A birdie is very significant. Here there are so many par 4s that are 350 to 410 yards, it becomes a question of out-birdieing people. Heck, you go By OWEN CANFIELD Courant Sports Columnist WETHERSFIELD There are two players at 201 after three rounds of the Greater Hartford Open.

That is three strokes behind Jack Renner, the leader, but anyone who has followed the 32-year history of this golf tournament knows that three shots away is practically as good as three shots in front. Hale Irwin, amazed at his close position after two straight 68s, and Don Pooley, builder of a wondrous 64 on the third day, have as good a chance as anyone. Renner, Bob Murphy and Curtis Strange are ahead of them, but shoot, for Pooley and Irwin it's like being by six inches after 10 yards of a 100-yard foot race. This is Wethersfield, boys, which means it's a crapshoot with Olympic trap with a perfect score. The shooting team won all six gold medals awarded Saturday, while the swimmers took four, helping to push the U.S.

total to 64 more than all the other nations in the Games combined. The total U.S. medal count by late in the day had reached 120, far ahead of Cuba, which had 39 golds and 82 total medals. Brian Babcock, Mark Caso, Tom Beach and Billy Paul helped add to the U.S. total with silver and bronze medals in gymnastics.

But Cuba cut into the U.S. lead by sweeping all six gymnastics gold medals, as well as three silver and three bronze. Casimiro Suarez of Cuba won the gold in free exercise, rings, vault and high bar. The U.S. men's basketball team had its first relatively easy outing of the tournament, beating Venezuela 78-65 to remain unbeaten.

And Argentina scored the biggest upset of the tournament so far, beating Cuba 95-93 in overtime. The other U.S. fighter in action, Bernard Gray of Boynton Bach, breezed to a unanimous decision over Joe Walter of Jamaica. Both Favors and Gray move into the semifinals, and thus are assured of at least bronze medals. Greg Louganis of Mission Viejo will try to complete the U.S.

diving sweep in the men's 10-meter platform today. CARACAS, Venezuela Kathy Arendsen and Barbara Reinalda both of Naugatuck, Conn. were two of a host of American stars in the IX Pan American Games yesterday, pitching a dou-bleheader sweep as the United States women's softball team won its sixth and seventh straight games after an opening-game loss to Puerto Rico. Arendsen threw a two-hitter as the U.S. clobbered the Netherlands Antilles, 17-0, in the first game, which was shortened to five innings under the international softball rule governing lopsided margins.

In the second game Reinalda pitched a four-hitter and Venus Jennings of Parsippany, N.J., had three hits and drove in two runs to lead the U.S. to an 8-1 triumph over Venezuela. And while the women were busy advancing in the softball tournament, the U.S. kept up its high-powered medal chase by water and land, with swimmers Rowdy Gaines and Bruce Hayes, diver Wendy Wyland and a couple of deadeye soldiers from Georgia leading the way. Chances of a U.S.

sweep of boxing gold medals remained intact but barely, as Floyd Favors survived a first-round knockdown to post a split-decision victory that was jeered by the crowd at United Nations Park. Gaines, from Winter Haven, and Hayes, from Dallas, each picked up their third swimming gold medals. Wyland, a California teen-ager, won the third consecutive U.S. gold medal in diving, on the women's 10-meter springboard. And Eric Buljung and Dan Carlisle, U.S.

Army members from Fort Benning, set world records in shooting Buljung in the standard pistol and Carlisle in More Sports, Page D22 When you let the crowd get to you, then you're looking for excuses.

Sutton made his breakthrough this season by winning the $126,000 first prize in the Tournament Players Championship (he has now won the Tour's two richest events).

"I took last week off and that time was taken up by several business meetings and my sister's wedding," he says.

Among his many off-course appearances was the Sammy Davis Jr. Greater Hartford Open Press Day at Wethersfield June 6. "He was a last-minute replacement because Fuzzy (Zoeller) had a scheduling conflict and did it as a favor to us," said 1983 Assistant Chairman Bruce D. Cowen of the sponsoring Greater Hartford Jaycees. "He was one of our first committments for this year's tournament.

"We went to him early this year and he assured us that he'd come to Wethersfield," said Cowen, who will be chairman of the 1984 GHO when it moves to Edgewood Golf Club in Cromwell. "The man is a class act and real gentleman." Sutton would have been here in 1983 top money winner or not. "Last year, I had to get some personal business (a divorce after six months of marriage) out of the way and the Jaycees were nice enough to let me out of the committment" Sutton said. Sutton loves to hunt and he's looking forward to it once the 1983 season concludes. He's already got his schedule mapped out for the rest of the year six PGA tournaments plus a three-week tour of Japan culminating with the U.S.

vs. Japan matches. "I hope to do some more deer hunting this year," said Sutton. "My new brother-in-law tried to talk me into going to Colorado for elk and moose. But that's more dangerous.

So is bear hunting I have no desire to hunt bear." And what kind of goals has Sutton set for himself in 1984? "It's too premature to even think about next year. I've still got a long way to go in 1983 Sutton said.

He blew a 6-shot lead and finished tied for third with a final-round 77 in the Anheuser Busch Classic a month ago. That taught him a valuable lesson. "I wasn't in as much control as I thought I was," he says. "I was counting my chickens before they hatched, but that's in the past and I don't like to dwell on that. It's a thing of the past Hey, some of the world's greatest players have blown leads.

It was just one of those things." As for the crowds that follow one of the game's most fluid swingers: "They don't bother or distract me," he says. "When you let the crowd get to you, then you're looking for excuses."

What separates him is bis background. Many golfers come from comfortable backgrounds, but Sutton's is more than comfortable. It's Louisiana oil, and lots of it His father "drilled 400,000 feet of holes last year, more wells than anybody else in Louisiana," says Sutton.

So Sutton started 1-up on the game, coming from a millionaire family, though he says the stories of his own wealth are greatly exaggerated. "I own a percentage of three oil wells," he says, "and everybody thought I had more." Sutton was a versatile athlete when he was growing up in Shreveport, 150 miles due east of Dallas. He played football basketball and baseball in junior and senior high school. "I played football on the senior high school team when I entered the ninth grade.
