2-C LUBBOCK Monday Evening, July 29.1968 Don, Rik Massengale Win Odessa Pro-Am Brothers Top Newell. Heckman By A Stroke By BUELE PETTIT Executive Editor Massengale slapped in a 140-yard ace here Sunday afternoon to set the stage for one of the most dramatic victories ever scored in the 20-year-old Odessa Pro-Am. The brother act from Jacksboro arrived at the tee box on No. 12 trailing by two strokes to Marty Fleckman and Ken Newell, and shot cleared the flag by two feet, landed seven feet beyond it, bit and spun backward into the hole. Pandemonium erupted, but there was still golf to play.

Rik, cool beyond his 21 years, proceeded then to score a bird bn No. 13 and give himself and pro brother Don a lead that lasted all the way to the pay window. Don picked up $8,000 and Rik, an amateur had to settle for one worth of pro shop mercantile. Hold Stroke Lead Odessa Scorecard D. Turner-J.

If results are any indication, then Suiter should be worried! Longview', concerned about its speed, proceeded to steal everything in sight in racking up 11 stolen bases to set a tournament team record for one game.

(AP) Dan Sikes may not be clairvoyant, but he had that winning feeling even before the tournament started. At any rate, he had a lot going for him the past week, which he climaxed with a one-stroke victory Sunday to win the $20,000 top money in the Minnesota Golf Classic.

Earnings Climb The big payday pushed earnings for the year to $76,046 and enabled him to leap from 17th to seventh on the PGA money standings for of such luminaries as Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Frank Beard, who chose not to compete here. Sikes, from Jacksonville, beat young Ken Still with a 12- under par 272 over Keller Golf Course, which plays to a par 71. Still, who won $12,000, was tied for the lead until he took a bogey on the 15th hole of the final round Sunday. It was the fifth tournament in which the Tacoma, pro has been the bridesmaid. Sikes had a final-round 64, while Still shot a 68 for his 273.
