on the PGA Tour this season bolting past Clark Burroughs on the last three holes Sunday to win the Canadian Open Golf Championship Jones winner of this year's first two tournaments caught Burroughs on the 16th hole and passed him with a birdie on the 17th He finished with a 2-underpar 70 and a 72-hole score of 271 on the Glen Abbey Golf Club course Burroughs aided Jones' cause by missing putts of less than 10 feet on each of the last three holes "My hands were shaking on the short putts" said Burroughs whose previous best finish was a tie for Ilth "That's where I lost the tournament on the greens" Burroughs said Burroughs finished in a three-way tie for second at 273 with Mike Hulbert and Mark 1902 Laurie Doherty 1901 Arthur Gore 1900 Reggie Doherty Reggie Doherty 1891 Reggie Doherty

serves They have the game to rule on grass Edberg is seeded No 2 Becker No 3 behind Lendl who wants to win Wimbledon more than anything Lend' was upset by Chang at the French Open Lendl may have lost some confidence but he gained valuable time to practice on grass "I have never had more reason to be as confident than this year with my play" said Lendl last week "Winning here helps and I think I have a reasonable chance of winning Wimbledon" Like Lendl Graf was humbled at the French Open "It took me three days to get over Paris It certainly was not easy" said Graf whose string of five consecutive Grand Slam tournaments was broken by Sanchez in a dramatic three-set final "Last year I arrived here with everyone asking me whether I would do the Grand Slam Now I don't have that kind of pressure I'm far more relaxed and it's easier playing Wimbledon this year This time last year I had never won the championship" Chang and Sanchez the most unlikely duo to win a Grand Slam tournament in the Open era appear to be overmatched teenagers on the slick grass Chang is seeded seventh and if he gets to the quarterfinals he will likely face Edberg seeking revenge for the French Open

Not all tennis courts are created equal The surfaces vary considerably which affects the way the ball bounces Which affects the way you play Here's how the most common surfaces on the pro circuit vary: Grass: It's used at Wimbledon and in a few lead-in tournaments Similar to golf greens this fast surface makes the ball skid low players such is Ivan Lend! They're made of concrete asphalt or synthetics Clay: This slow granular surface is used at the French and Italian opens It favors a baseliner such as Chris Evert because balls sit up negating the pace of strong serves Indoor: At the Masters and Virginia Slims Championships in New York a carpet is laid on top of cement The fastest surface it favors serve-and-volleyers and erratic bounces increase as the grass is worn It favors serve-andvolleyers such as Boris Becker and John McEnroe because the spin on a serve increases when the ball hits the court and because volleying decreases the risk of hitting an erratically bouncing ball Hard: These surfaces are used at the US Open Australian Open and Lipton International Players Championships They're medium to slow surfaces good for all-court Fittipaldi Continues Hot Streak With Portland Win MotorsporIL until the Italian racer and several of the other leaders pitted giving the lead back to Fittipaldi on lap 33 Suddenly the lead was up to 1658 seconds and Fittipaldi continued to build it From Associated Pms Raports PORTLAND Ore Emerson Fittipaldi riding a hot streak drove to an easy victory Sunday in the Budweiser-al Joe's 200 Indy-car race his second straight victory and third in the last four starts 42 managed to avoid a variety of troubles that plagued many in the 26-car field on the 1922-mile nine-turn Portland International Raceway road course Fittipaldi who started his hot streak with a victory in the Indianapolis 500 last month added Sunday's triumph in the 104-lap 200-mile race to a win in the finished with a speed of 21082 mph Tim Baxter of Lawrence Kan was runner-up with 408-second reaction time 6587-second elapsed time and a finish speed of 20454 mph The pair of Jean Louis Schlesser of France and Jochen Mass of West Germany won the Madrid world sports prototype championship race Sunday in Madrid Spain Schlesser and Mass driving a Sauber Mercedes covered the 2977 miles or 145 laps around the two-mile Jarama circuit in three hours 26 minutes 13 seconds at an average speed of 866 mph followed by Teo Fabi of Italy and Scott Pruett both one lap behind and Michael Andretti two laps back Fittipaldi who averaged 10398 mph took the series points lead breaking a tie with Rick Mears who finished eighth Fabi who won the first pole-for the Porsche team led for the first 14 laps before Fittipaldi the No 2 qualifier was able to slip past The two-time Formula One champion then began to pull away building leads of up to 1063 seconds before he made his first scheduled pit stop on lap 30 That gave the top spot back to Fabi Detroit Grand Prix seven days earlier His Chevrolet-powered Penske PC18 crossed the finish line 2036 seconds about one-third of a lap ahead of the Lola-Coswonh of two-time CART-PPG champion Bobby Rahal Fittipaldi ran out of fuel moments after crossing the finish line and wound up hitchhiking a ride on Rahal's car around the circuit and back to victory circle Arie Luyendyk of The

Neil Bonnett 1648 14 Alan Kuhvicki 1834 15 Lake Speed 1631 strong I didn't think I could beat him Then his car started handling real loose and that last pit stop put some cars between us which helped If Rusty had come out of the pits where I did he would have won the race" Wallace's crew chief Barry Dodson confessed he had placed the jack improperly as the team changed left-side tires during the last pit stop costing several positions Wallace thought the jack had broken "Our car just got very loose because of a bad set of tires" said Wallace who led 131 laps to 43 for Elliott "Then the jack broke Except for those two things I think we'd have been in the lead at the end by a long shot" The outcome enabled Wallace to pull within 122 points of standings leader Dale Earnhardt a gain of 68 on the 17th-place finisher Waltrip gained 58 to trail by 149 "We pulled too high a gear" said Waltrip "It's my fault I picked it We didn't have enough power especially off the fourth turn" Elliott who earned $71450 averaged 139023 mph as five caution periods covering 25 laps slowed the pace One yellow was for a crash that sent former Automobile Racing Club of America champion Bill Venturini to an Ann Arbor hospital with head neck and chest injuries of undetermined severity A hospital spokesman reported the driver alert and talking and Wallace pitted for four fresh tires each while Waltrip gambling stayed on the track When the green shown on Lap 190 Waltrip was the leader with Rudd Marlin Pao and Cope be- tween him and Elliott fifth in line Wallace 1 401 was positioned eighth for the Age-tv restart It appeared that Waltrip's tiC-0 strategy might score as Elliott and Wallace Elliott momentarily became tangled in traffic But when Elliott broke free he began gaining rapidly on Waltrip Fans stood waving on the driver who had rolled to six previous victories on the home track of team owner Harry Melling including a streak of five straight Elliott passed Waltrip for the lead on Lap 193 and kept right on motoring in the No 9 red and white Thunderbird to win without a challenge Wallace passed Waltrip on Lap 198 for second "I was concerned about fighting through the traffic I got held up by a couple cars" said Elliott snapping at 19 races a nonwinning string dating to last October "I'm realistic and I didn't know about catching Darrell but I came up through the field pretty good "Rusty had been running so how good we were Somebody tell me what I've got to do to finish a race? Maybe drive the pace car" Instead of a possible top-five finish Petty placed 30th Winston Cup points standings leader Dale Earnhardt never appeared a threat to win in part because he twice pitted before yellow flags showed costing him laps to rivals who had the luxury of stopping under caution And also because his crew changed the gear ratio in the Chevy Lumina before the start "Everything we did was wrong today" lamented Earnhardt who finished 17th and lost 68 points to Rusty Wallace 58 to Darrell Waltrip and leads them by 122 and 149 respectively "That's part of racing We'll just have to run better next week" Said team owner Richard Childress: "The changes we made this morning didn't work We'd still have had a top 10 finish but we let Dale run out of gas which cost us more than anything else" Ken Schrader's hopes of "skinning" Unocal for $91200 by winning the race from the pole were foiled by an equalized tire When that happened on Lap 103 Schrader had to pit his Chevy under the green flag for all four tires because it was impossible to tell which one had failed He was in the pits 30 seconds and lost a lap which he never regained Schrader finished 12th and instead of $150000 plus he earned $16900 Wallace had a "hot" run in finishing second in more ways than one A fan mounted in his car to keep the floorboard cool broke and the blade hit Wallace in the right shin Then the floor of his Pontiac got hot and overheated his right foot By TOM HIGGINS Staff Writer BROOKLYN Mich It looked like old times in the Miller 400 at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday with defending NASCAR Winston Cup champion Bill Elliott winning for the first time in eight months ts64doc It looked like older -Vollatq times with Richard Petty the 200-race winner and seven-time champion running competitively again Petty who'll be 52 on July 2 charged as high as koriyol' fourth place late in the l'of race causing the crowd dr' to stir in anticipation tt Petty hasn't won since Pe 1984 and his best finish this season had been 15th It appeared something special was going to happen as Petty's Pontiac battled strongly with Ricky Rudd's Buick for fifth place on Lap 171 of the 200-lapper And then Petty's car trailed smoke then flame burst from beneath it as the fans groaned The famous No 43 slid sideways but Petty masterfully controlled it The race however was over for him as so many have been recently "I knew the thing was going to come apart because it had been vibrating for 50 laps or so" said Petty "I knew it was on fire I could feel the heat on my left knee I wanted to set the extinguishers off but I had to keep my hands on the steering wheel The fire put itself Out "I wasn't surprised we were running that good We just didn't run long enough to see.
