Bobby Cole, 18-year-old South African who won the British Amateur title at Carnoustie a month ago, teamed with Peter Townsend, 19-year-old phenomenon of England and lost by a narrow 2 and 1 margin. Nicklaus, the blond belter from Columbus, Ohio, shot five straight 3s in the trip to the 17th hole where the match ended and that was the difference.

Nicklaus had a 68, three under Muirfield's 6.887-yard, par 71. Together with Player, they had a best ball of 65. Cole and Townsend had a best ball of 67. "That boy Cole has real method," said Nicklaus. "And Townsend hits the ball very far for a skinny kid." Said Townsend afterward: "It was a little awe-inspiring to be playing Nicklaus and Player, even in a friendly practice, but we soon got over it.

"I think I got over it at the fifth where I got a good four-wood on the green and holed a 20-footer for a 3." That was an eagle on the 516-yard hole. The youngsters were all square at the 154-yard, par 3 13th where both got birdies. Then Nicklaus uncorked two birdie 3s, a par 3 and an eagle 3 to settle the issue. "Those kids are just great," Player said. He was particularly enthusiastic about his fellow South African.

The course, dry after days of sun and wind, was crowded with the practicing professionals and top amateurs who make up the field of 130 which tees off for the 72-hole grind Wednesday morning. Doug Sanders had his first real trip around the course and commented, as many others have done, on the wild rough allowed to grow and pinch the fairways into narrow slots. "Just let me have the lost balls and hay concession and I'll be the leading money winner," the Georgia native wisecracked. Julius Boros, the former U. S.

Open champion, also saw Muirfield for the first time and said he was taking it easy because he has an injured elbow. "I got into the rough but hit another ball each time rather than play out of it," Boros said. "I don't want to aggravate the injury." Many of the pros put their drivers away rather than try to solve the narrow saucers where the high weeds as if Rosewall's home as shortstop Sonny Jackson threw out Frank called up left-handea reiiei unemotional attack might stand a chance.
