THE BRANDON SUM, Monday, July 3, King really did smoke at Belvedere Amateur --Sun Photo by Dirk AMrion Smash! Lefty Jimmy King sets a new BGCC record! Question: When is a golfer able to take triple-bogey and a double-bogey within the space of three holes during the final round of an 18-hole touraamait and still win by three strokes? Answer: When that golfer is left-hander Jimmy King and he is coming off a first- round score of four-under par 66, the best score ever in the long history of the Brandon Golf and Country Club. ix King so overwhelmed the BGCC and the rest of the 175- a Belvedere Western Amateur field with his 66 Saturday that he could have shot 79 Sunday (which would be literally disastrous the sweet-swinging and still won the 36-hole. tournament. He didn't shoot 79; instead, he" had his problems eri route to a seven-pver-nsr 77, but won by three strokes over Bruce Penton, who compiled a 146 total on rounds of 71 and 75. Third in the championship flight was Grant Miller, an 18-year-old junior, with 74-73-147, while fourth spot went to banker, Don ciN i 17 "with 71-77-148.

Rounding out the prize winners in the championship flight were two hockey- playing golfers, Brandon's Dune a and Winnipeg's Jack Matheson. McCallum was 73-76-149 while Matheson was 77-72, but lost on a countback for fifth place. Matheson's 72 was Sunday's best round, while Miller's 73 was next. by BRUCE PENTON Sun Sports Writer The best round of the tournament, though, King's 66. was'not just a golf game, it was a work of art.

King went out in ohe-ynder- par -34 and blazed home with a three-under 32, capped by a 40-fool eagle putt on the 18th hole. "I knew it was in the instant 1 stroked it," said King later. Over the 18 holes, the new champion hit 10 but took only 25 putts, including successful birdie putts on the seventh, eighth and 13th holes. His only bogey in the sparkling round came on the sixth hole, "when he canned an eight-foot putt, "He was not only making everything from eight feet and under, ami sometimes- farther out, but the putts were going right into the centre -of the cup," said Don Carcary, who played with King. King's 66 was three strokes than the old competitive course standard, set in .1983 by Winnipeg pro Steve Cikaluk, then of Elmhurst and now the head pro at Glendale.

Cikaluk's one- umler-par 69 came in the '63 Western Open. The Tioti-eon1pstitivs- course record was formerly 67. It was set in 1967 by former BGCC pro Bill Thompson and later equalled by Shilo amateur, Dave Findlay. Now, it's not shared by anyone. King's got it alone.

Fischer given until tomorrow REYKJAVIK. Iceland (AP) The International Chess a i gave Bobby Fischer two days' grace Sunday to appear for the world chess championship, and a friend of the reluctant challenger flew to the United States in an attempt to coax him to Reykjavik.

Fischer was believed in New York when Dr. Max Euwc. the international federation's president, announced the postponement. The first game of Fischer's 24- game match with world champion Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union was set back from 5 p.m. Sunday to the same time Tuesday.

Euwe said Fischer must show by noon Tuesday or risk forfeiting his chance at Spassky and the title. Freyslrinn Thorberberg- sson." an Icelandic chess player and long-time friend of Fischer, flew to New York Sunday night to try to persuade him to show up in time for the Tuesday match. Thorberbergsson. arriving at Kennedy Airport without luggage, was reluctant to talk about his trip. He said only Ihat he expecled lo remain in the United States two or three days and that he had come to see Fischer "as a friend" in an effort to persuade him to meet the deadline.

Fischer refused to play the match after officials of the Icelandic Chess Federation balked at his last-minute demands for more money, in addition to a record purse already contracted for. Fischer and Spassky were to have a guarnateed share of winner taking five-eighths--plus 30 per cent of each of income from the sale of film and television rights. This totalled 10 times more than any prize money every paid to a chess player. Fischer wants an additional 30 per cent of the gate receipts. Faced with a decision of disqualifying Fischer immediately or granting a reprieve, Euwe chose the path he said would best protect the host organization.

Fischer's representatives here asked for a postponement on the basis of illness. They said the American was suffering fatigue. The rules require that a postponement for illness must be certified by a doctor chosen by the host organization. The Russian side reluctantly accepted Euwe's decision. Spassky was asked what he thought of the situation and the 35-year-old champion replied: "I came to play." At a news conference where he announced the decision on the postponement, Euwe said "I think there will be no play at all.

That is my personal opinion." A i a claiming to represent Fischer here did not want Fischer disqualified. "One of the troubles is that there is no one here who can act on the authority of Fischer," Euwe added. "The situation is extremely difficult."

ROBINSON Nixon picks top players WASHINGTON (AP) Jackie Robinson, the first black to play major-league baseball, says he is honored to be President Nixon's choice as the sport's best all-round athlete. "It's a real honor lo be thought of," Robinson said Sunday when reached at his home in Stamford, Conn. "He's an individual making his picks, and I'm honored that he thought of me in that way.

It's great." Robinson played with Montreal in the International League immediately before going up to Brooklyn Dodgers. Nixon, naming his most outstanding players in an article, also says that Ted Williams, former great with Boston Red Sox and new manager of Texas Rangers, was the greatest hitter' he ever saw and Joe DiMaggio, the Yankee Clipper, the best outfielder.

Bogeys on the second, fifth and nine, however 1 tossed around a birdie, on the seventh, gave King a one-over-par 36 at the turn. Then a mini-disaster struck.

He boomed a drive (as usual) on the 10th hole and had only "a flip wedge into the green. "I pulled it a bit, or it hooked on me or something," said King, "because I ended up in the trap on the right, up against the lip. I could hardly even see the ball." He swung at the partially- hidden ball, but it bounced back into the middle of the trap. Feeling a little better about having an "easy shot, King took things too easy and skulled it over the green, a into the bush," However, he got it out on his next shot, then on the green and one putt for his seven, putting him four over par for the Sunday round and even par for the tournament. After nearly jugging his tee shot on the llth and finishing with a birdie two, another mini disaster occurred on the 12lh.

Needing four shots to get onto the green, King then two- putted for his "double-bogey six, putting him back to one- over par for the tourney. But by that time, he had a safe lead. Others in contention after the first round were, by this lime, out of it, unless King happened to completely fall apart. He didn't. He never does.

He may fall apart for a hole or two, but not completely. From the 13th tee through to the 18th green, King did the following: bogey, par, par, par, par, bogey. And that's not falling apart. It's just playing it cosy. "Saturday, I.

just couldn't miss," said King. "Everything was going in the hole. Sunday, it wasn't EC good." For King, the Belvedere win was the latest in what has been a banner season. For a he broke the competitive course record at the Grey Owl on the second day with a four-under-par G8 only to finish second in the tournament to former Canadian amateur champ. Jimmy Doyle.

Then, he paced the Brandon Golf and Country Club inter-club team to a nine-stroke victory in the jMGA-spoiLSored competition with a three-under-par 09 at Winnipeg's lush St. Charles course. Now, the Belvedere title. King would like nothing better than to add to his laurels with a spot on Manitoba's four-man Willingdon Cup team. The 72-hole trials are half over, with King four strokes behind the fourth- place man.

The final 36 holes will be played this weekend in Winnipeg.
