KINGSPORT TIMES 1-C British Open Starts Jack Nicklaus Ready MUIRFIELD Scotland (UPI)-The second half of Britains mid-aununer sporting spectacular opened today with Jack Nicklaus the bookies choice to win the 101st British Open golf championship The bookies were right when they tabbed Stan Smith to win the Wimbledon tennis title and it would take a brave man to bet against them being right again when die Open finishes Saturday Nicklaus who already has the Masters and UJS Open titles under wraps has offered no comment about being Installed the 9-4 favorite but he Insists its premature to talk in terms of the Grand Slam of golf On the eve of the tournament and after seven practice rounds over the 6892-yard par 71 course Nicklaus once again insisted: If I win here then only will it be realistic to talk about me completing the slam in the final event the PGA at Detroit Asked if he employed the tactics used by Australias Rod Laver of not reading the newspapers when he swept the big four tennis tide in 1969 Nicklaus said: No I enjoy reading the newspapers I still chuckle when the writers mention the slam but it is now within the realms of possibility But as Ive always maintained lets wait until this tournament is over" Nicklaus said he fiddled about during his final pracdce round although I did some serious work with my putter He said the course was very hard and fast and it will probably get faster once they cut the greens Theyve watered them but with the wind blowing they dried out within five minutes Nicklaus said he would not be surprised if it took a total of more than 282 to win the title the score he shot when he won here in 1966 Defending champion Lee Trevino said hed go along with Nicklaus being tagged the favorite But remember this fellas I did not come here to finish second I think I can win and Im sure that is true of the other 15 Americans here i i Polyester cord body fiberglass belts Brawny styling with 10-rib tread design it A 4 PER SET OF FOUR
