SUTTON, Mass. (AP) Brad Faxon, a young golfer unknown outside New England, had some unfinished business today before starting his junior year at Furman University next week. Faxon, 20, an amateur, shocked the Touring Professional Association pros Friday by charging into contention for the lead in the $300,000 Pleasant Valley Jimmy Fund Classic. With five birdies and an eagle, the youngster from nearby Barrington, R.I., fired a five-under-par 66, jumping from an 18-way tie for 44th place into a deadlock for second. His 36-hole total of 137 left him one stroke behind co-leaders Curtis Strange, Jack Renner and South Africa's Denis Watson in the 72-hole test worth $54,000 to the winner.

"1 don't know how I'll do tomorrow because I've never done this, before," Faxon said when asked how he would feel teeing off today with Ray Floyd, the tour's top money winner this year, and Tommy Valentine. "I just hope I can get some sleep and then hope I can hit the ball off the (first) tee." Faxon qualified for the U.S. Open, but failed to make the halfway cut, soaring to an 81 after a first-round 70. Then, after reaching the round of 16 in the U.S. Amateur last week, he was rewarded with a sponsor's exemption by tournament director Ted Mingolla to play Pleasant Valley's course for the first time.

"I'm sort of blank right now," Faxon said after just missing a share of the lead because of a bogey with four holes to play. "I don't know which was better, my 70 at Merion or this, but both are incredible." Although the only amateur to make the cut in 15 PGA stops here since 1965, Faxon was emphatic when asked if he might consider quitting college for a pro career. "I'm an economics graduate and my first goal is to graduate. It would be stupid for me to think otherwise." Faxon, who holed out a sand wedge shot from about 100 yards away for his eagle two, became the gallery favorite after Lee Trevino, former baseball star Ken Harrelson and six former Pleasant Valley champions failed to make the cut. The starting field of 156 was trimmed to the low 70 scorers and ties, with Faxon the lone amateur survivor.

The cut came at 143, one over par for 36 holes. Faxon was tied with Valentine, Scott Simpson, Jeff Mitchell and Gavin Levenson at 137. Another stroke back at 138 came pre- 1 New ball introduced Jane Blalock blasts her way out of the trap Pair of golfers in unexpected spot Curtis Strange watches his putt roll to the cup CHICAGO (AP) A high-visibility golf ball colored a brilliant yellow was introduced Friday by the Tournament Players Association for golfers at all levels of playing ability. "Traditionalists may chuckle at the idea of a yellow golf ball, but it took less than 10 years for yellow tennis balls to replace white ones everywhere but Wimbledon," TPA golf president Robert MacNally said in a release. "We think the same thing will happen with optic yellow balls, and for the same reason they're easier to see and that helps improve the game." The PGA said tests comparing the relative brightness of the yellow ball, called the TRACER, with white and optic orange balls showed the yellow variety to be nearly 1.5 times brighter than white and almost twice as bright as orange.

at 66, soared to a 74 Friday, but easily made the cut with 140. Jim Nelford of Burnaby, B.C., missed the cut after shooting a 74 for a 146 total. tournament favorites Ray Floyd and Tom Kite, and Gibby Gilbert, Jay Haas, Miller Barber and Don Levin. Lanny Wadkins, the first-round leader Rutledge takes opening round lead Sally Little, Debbie Massie, Marlene Hagge, Judy Clark, Barbara Moxness and Amy Alcott, winner of this tourney two years ago. A total of 38 players were at par or under.

Donna Caponi did not defend her championship here because of the death of her mother. Also absent is Nancy Lopez-Melton. "Here I am seven under par and unhappy about the finish," Stephenson said after she missed both eagle and birdie putts on the par-five 18th hole. Stephenson has won two tournaments this year, including Dallas, where she set an LPGA 54-hole record with an 18-under-par 198. "That's the best putting round I've had since the 64 at Dallas." She birdied three straight holes starting at the fourth and was four under at the turn.

She birdied the 10th from 18 inches, then went seven under with birdies on the 15th and 16th. On the 18th, Stephenson hit a driver and four wood to within 25 feet of the pin. But she left the eagle putt 3l2 feet short, then missed the birdie putt also. Blalock did not arrive until Thursday night and played the course for the first time Friday. She was five under at the turn but had Only one birdie on the back side.

SUFFOLK, Va. (AP) Neither front-runner Jan Stephenson nor runner-up Jane Blalock expected to be in those positions as they began the second round of a 54-hole, $125,000 Ladies Professional Golf Association tournament today. "This is a course suited to a left-to-right hitter and I'm a right-to-left player," Stephenson said Friday after a bo-geyless seven-under-par 66 over the Sleepy Hole course that gave her a two-stroke lead over Blalock after the first 18 holes. Blalock, who birdied five of the first eight holes and finished with a five-un-der 68, said she had been playing so badly she dropped out of the LPGA tournament last week in Springfield, 111., after the first round and went home to practice. "It's a thinking person's golf course," said Blalock, who used a two iron off six tees and a driver off eight while missing only one green.

Stephenson used a driver all the way. Janet Alex and Myra Van Hoose were two shots behind Blalock at 70, and there was an 11-player deadlock at 71 that included JoAnne Carner, the LPGA's leading money winner who has won the last two tournaments at Denver and Springfield. Also at 71 were Pat Bradley, Alison Sheard, Dianne Dailey, Debby Rhodes, Breaks record Greg Day of Gull Lake broke the Meadowlake Golf Course record recently during the men's annual tournament when he shot a first-round 29, four-un-der-par over the nine holes. Day went on to shoot 32 in the second round. His 61 total won the championship flight.

Other flights were won by Al Lang of Maple Creek (first flight), Earl Wagner of Swift Current (second), Frank Bester of Gull Lake (third), Clarence Schoneck of Gull Lake (fourth), Lloyd Thomsen of Gull Lake (fifth) and Richard Rees of Swift Current (sixth). and putting and is well off the pace with an opening round 73. "I couldn't get my second shots close to the hole," said the three-time B.C. Open champion. "These greens for the first round seemed a little slow.

It was like night and day the difference between the greens today and Thursday." In Thursday's pro-am event, Barr fired a two-under par 69 while playing the course for the first time. Defending chamopion Don Bies of Seattle and two-time Canadian champion Doug Roxburgh of Vancouver were also well back after shooting 73s. CHILLIWACK, B.C. (CP) Jim Rutledge of Victoria, former B.C. Open Golf champion, fired an opening round five-under-par 66 Friday to take a one-stroke lead in the the B.C.

Open golf championship at Chilliwack Golf Club. Rutledge had an eagle and two birdies on the course's three par fives, a feat the Canadian tour player said was a must in order to win this championship on the short Chilliwack course. In second place were Dave Fowler of Oakland, and Abbotsford amateur Glen Bannister with four-under 67s. One stroke back were Tony Keveza of Toronto, Tom Whittle of Burnaby and John Morgan of Sidney, B.C. Nine players are three shots off the lead in seventh place with 69s, including U.S.

Touring Professional tour star Dan Halldorson of Shiloh, Man. Halldorson, who has won more than $90,000 on this season's tour, was four under par at one point but closed with a pair of bogeys. The man with the most at stake in this 46th annual tournament is Kelowna's Dave Barr, who won last week's Victoria Open and is the only player in the field of 130 in contention for a $25,000 bonus for back-to-back victories.
