(AP) Dan Sikes needs only a victory in one of the major tournaments to Benning, Larry Zeigler and Gordon Jones. Pre-Pensacola Open notes: Pairings for the two pro-ams were formulated last night via a' "luck of the draw" basis, with only a limited few amateurs paired with selected pros and then only at the latter's request. But how is this for luck of the draw? Pensacola amateur John Burrell was the first name drawn, giving him a 7:30 a.m.

starting time in Tuesday's pro-am. Then in Wednesday's pro-am drawing, Burrell's name again was picked out of the hat early, but this time he earned a "later" starting time of 7:38 a.m. at Pensacola Country Club Rives McBee, the Texas pro who set a record of sorts in the 1967 U.S. Open at Bal-tusrol, N. where he employed six caddies in the first two rounds (one of them a volunteer Spokane, sportswriter), scored a hole-in-one at the 183-yard, par-3 17th Sunday at Perdido Bay.

But the 1968 Citrus Open champ says his main goal is to win $100,000 a year.

The long-driving veteran is just reaching his peak at the age of 37. He has his sights set this year on claiming a title in one of the prestige tournaments, such as the Masters. "And if I keep playing like I did last year and I have here, I believe I should be ranked in the top five or six players," he said Sunday. "But my big goal is to win $100,000 again," added the attorney-golfer from Jacksonville, after winning the $23,000 Citrus Open Sunday. Sikes harvested $111,000 from The Gators Are Coming The University of Florida will be well represented in the Pensacola Open golf tournament which begins Thursday at the Pensacola Country Club.

All of the golfers were All-Americans while at Florida. Sanders, Sikes, Aaron, Hammer, Murphy and Ragan were All-Americans their senior year at Florida while Beard was a two-time all-star. Sanders is the most popular in the Pensacola Open, having won here in 1965 and is well remembered for failing to sign his scorecard in '66 which disqualified him.

Since graduating from Gatorland, the Cedartown, native has won 18 PGA tournaments. In his 10 years on the tour, Sanders has pocketed $580,495.03 on the circuit before this year got underway. Some of the major tournaments Sanders has won other than the Pensacola Open are the Bob Hope Classic, Greensboro, New Orleans and the Colonial. Sikes, who had an outstanding career as an amateur, really came into his own as a pro last year, winning over $100,000 on the tour. The Jacksonville native graduated from Florida in 1952 and since turning pro has earned $284,652.28 through 1967 on the tour.

Tournament victories include the Cleveland Open, Doral Open and the Jacksonville Open, plus the Citrus Open this year. Pressure Putts Beard, a Kentuckian who came to Florida on a golf scholarship, has enjoyed a very successful career on the pro circuit. The Louisville, player went over the $100,000 mark in '67, boosting his total career earnings to $274,818.76. Beard's victories are the New Orleans Open, Texas Open and Frank Sinatra Open. He is the defending champion of the Tournament of Champions, Indianapolis Open and the Houston Classic.

Beard won the Tournament of Champions and Houston Classic with pressure putts on the 72nd holes to nose out Arnold Palmer for both titles. Ragan, who appears on the tour occasionally since taking over the pro job at the Dubstread Country Club in his home town of Orlandoalso had success on the pro tour while competing Ragan, who was the 1955 individual Southeastern Confer-ence champion, won $197,466.00 through 1967, which includes victories in the Beaumont Open and the Eastern Open. Aaron, who is still looking for his first tournament victory since playing on the play-for-dough trail is a consistent money winner. The Gainesville, native is a former member of the Walker Cup team and has won $228,010.15 on the circuit. Hammer, along with Murphy, is one of the youngest members of the Gator golfing players on the tour.

Hammer, beginning his third year on the pro trail, has won but $20,237.32 but most observers predict a great future for him. with the Baltimore Colts; Donny Anderson and Jerry Kramer, running back and offensive guard, respectively, for the world champion Green Bay Packers; John Hadl, San Diego Chargers quarterback; i Taylor, New Orleans Saints running back; and Dizzy Dean, former major league pitching great and member of baseball's Hall of Fame.
