(CP) Dan Halldorson earned the most impressive victory of his golf career Sunday, winning the $200,000 Pensacola Open for his first-ever championship on the U.S. Professional Golfers Association tour and the first tour win by a Canadian in eight years.

Halldorson, 28, of Shilo, shot a final-round 70 to beat par by two strokes and win the first prize. It was the first PGA tour victory by a Canadian since George Knudson of Toronto won the Kaiser Open In San Francisco in 1972.

On Sunday night, the centre was knocked out of action by an eye injury.

There was more than just one player involved for the Lakers, of course. "(Jim) Brewer, (Mark) Landsberger and (Jim Chones did such a good job on the boards," said Lakers coach, Paul Westhead, "that It allowed' (Norm) Nixon and Johnson to keep the fast break going.

Cook was Detroit's fourth-round draft choice and was cut just a week after reporting to the Pistons' rookie camp last summer. Johnson took over for the Lakers after Jabbar received a finger in the right eye from Houston forward Rudy Tomjano-vich early in the third quarter.

(AP) Open champion Amy Alcott, who won her fourth Ladies Professional Golf Association tournament of the year Sunday, says she plans to trim her playing schedule for 1981.

"Honestly, I'm not concerned about the money list," said Alcott, 24. who captured the $150,000 LPGA event by four shots at Almaden Country Club. "My main concern is to be fully rested, both physically and mentally, for each tournament. "That's why I'm going to cut back my schedule. Instead of playing in 26 or 27 tournaments I'll be playing in about 18 to 20.

"It may sound like a selfish idea, because all of the tournament sponsors want you to play. But when I'm rested I know that I have the game to win." Alcott finished with a 71-nole total of 200 to earn $22,500 and move up to third on the LPGA money list with $212,595. She fired five birdies en route to a three-under-par. 70 in the final round.
