Ancient yesterday launched a strong attack on the 20 golfers 15 of them American who had failed to turn up for the Open Championship qualifying rounds at Ladybank Leven Lunndin and Scotscraig We did not get a word from any of them" said Mr Bonallack "We had 32 alternates who filled the places of those who did inform us that vided perhaps the most significant sailing spec NDY BARKER and Mark Simpson were the winners of an eventful first race in the Fireball Championships at Abersoch yesterday writes David Pelly A fresh breeze and heavy seas had many of the 130 fleet in difficulties and at least 50 retired The biggest crop of problem came at the start when the pathfinder sailed by Simon Collier was bit and damaged by three other boats A gate start system was in use and many boats got too far to windward and then tried to rush down behind the pathfinder at the last moment But with the space on the line already Yachting CASTRO HAS THE WINNING DESIGNS By DAVID PELLY rpONY CASTRO the Por-tuguese-born yacht designer was a happy man Hlr i9 nak 9 yjywMlTOiaa tacle witnessed there for years The French race in its seventh year and growing in importance internationally follows a pattern many British yachtsmen would like the sport to develop: short races with crew changes Indeed there are already serious moves to introduce a similar event in Britain with towns or clubs being involved French rules demand that each have a team of a minimum of 21 sailors per entry for the 35-stage voyage which began from Dunkirk and ends in Menton Yesterday's winner after a hnrt mid-Solent chase around they would not be play to wait until we heard from the players personally" Mr Bonallack also expressed concern over the television match at Gleneagles yesterday and today and particularly the attitude of Peter Oosterhuis who the buoys in a light-to-fresh north-westerly was Ville de Paris stppred for the dav hv occupied those running downwind had nowhere to go except over the line and straight into the unhappy Collier Badly damaged This incident will certainly giv the protest committee a problem as Collier's boat may well be too badly damaged to race today Andy Barker who used to

Laing's Bathsheba which won Class III SOLENT POINTS RACE No 6 Class Whirlwind XI Lister) Class ing but in the end there were far too many unnecessary gaps" Mr Bonallack pointed out that by not informing the Royal and Ancient the 20 players had kept out another 20 who had already tried to qualify through the regional events but just missed out Many of them would be young players and they would have given their right arms for another opportunity" he said It was a very selfish and inconsiderate attitude" Each of the 20 absentees who included Tommy Horton a past captain of the PGA will be written to by the A championship committee and asked for an explanation We could refuse their entries next year" said Mr Bonallack Certainly we knew that some players were uncertain starters because of what we'd read in the newspapers" he went on But we could not accept that as notice of intent and we had Jose Rivero shows his delight after holing his birdie putt on the final green to

wife Langer had left his parents' home at 5 am found the connecting shuttle to Edinburgh full and the second delayed by an aircraft that had apparently lost undercarriage Langer in addition was not feeling well He would certainly figure high on most people's short lists as a European golfer capable of winnang the Open which begins on Thursday But his best-laid plans missing the Lawrence Batley to rest and practise quietly in Germany went sadly awry Two problems He spent a good deal of his time seing doctors one about his back and the other about his general condition which has been diagnosed as a virus or the 'flu When not in medical consultation Langer has spent most Of his time in bed and none at all on the practice ground Due to fly to St Andrews on Saturday he felt too ill to contempate the journey and was in no mood to relish any delays yesterday as on arrival he went off to find a dentist Such are the hardships of the modern professional golfer: in Langer's case
