"There was one disappointment, Australia," he said.

"This has wiped out all the others. These are the ones that count." Using his powerful serve and forehand to advantage, Lendl won his third French Open in a four-hour match that ended in steady rain and gathering gloom. It had been interrupted briefly by showers in the fourth set. For Lendl, it was a triumph that avenged a 1985 French Open championship defeat to Wilander. For Wilander, the winner of the tournament in 1982 as well as '85, it was a Jekyll-and-Hyde performance and only his second loss in a clay-court match this season.

Lendl said this final was the toughest of his Grand Slam titles. He did not have an easy match in the tournament, going five sets to beat unseeded Joakim Nystrom in the fourth round and dropping six sets more than the total he lost in his twc previous championship years, 1984 and '86. Lendl said the match would have had to be suspended overnight because of the weather if Wilander had forced a fifth set. So the world's top-ranked men's player made sure no further break was needed. After the two battled evenly through 12 games in the fourth set, Lendl built a- 4-0 lead in the tiebreaker and won it 7-3 when Wilander sent a forehand long on match point.

"I wouldn't have complained" if referee Jacques Dorfmann had stopped the match, Lendl said. "The court was very wet. But he (Dorfmann) wanted to get the tiebreaker in, and that was OK with me, too." The victory was worth $195,000 to Lendl, while Wilander collected $97,500. In the other championships decided Sunday, Navratilova and Pam Shriver beat Graf and Gabriela Sa-batini 6-2, 6-1 for the women's doubles title: Guillermo Perez-Roldan of Argentina defeated Jason Stolten-berg of Australia 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 for the boys singles crown; Natalia Zvereva of the Soviet Union defeated Jana Pospisilova of Czechoslovakia 6-1, 6-0 in girls singles; and Onny Parum of New Zealand and Roger Taylor of Britain defeated Jaime Fillol of Chile and Dennis Ralston of Dallas 5-7, 6-3, 6-4 in senior men's doubles. PARIS (AP) Ivan Lendl says there are two ways for him to leave his mark on men's tennis.

"The best thing to do in tennis is to win the Grand Slam. That's almost impossible," Lendl said. "The next best thing is to win the four Grand Slam tournaments and win them as many times as possible." The Grand Slam is out for Lendl this year, since he lost in the finals of the Australian Open last January. But the second route, Grand Slam tournament victories, keeps getting wider and wider for the top-ranked Czechoslovak. Lendl claimed his fifth Grand Slam title Sunday when he outraced the rain and darkness to beat Sweden's Mats Wilander 7-5, 6 -2, 3-6, 7-6 to retain his men's championship at the French Open.

"Any time you win a Grand Slam tournament, it's a shot of confidence," said Lendl, who needed a boost after a ragged start to 1987. A nine-tourmament winner last year, Lendl had just one victory in the first 5L2 months of 1987. He also underwent arthroscopic surgery on his knee and was just rounding into shape when the two-week clay-court tournament in Paris started. He didn't have a perfect run to the AP photo Another slam: Ivan Lendl has reason to celebrate after winning the French Open jCeinmpeir casoes .00 big If Pro goif Pro-am won with team score of 58 IN A The team of Larry Gia-cone, Rick Wilson, Jerry Furby and pro Kent Dolene shot a 14-under 58 to win the Pro-Am four-man best ball at the Southern Illinois Open Sunday af the Rend Lake golf course.

Rodriguez, who trailed Crampton by three strokes when play began Sunday, shot a 7-under-par 65 for a tournament-record 54-hole score of 15-under 201 over Bent Tree Country Club.

It was the fifth Senior Tour title of the year for Rodriguez, who earned $30,093 for his one-stroke victory over Crampton, who shot 69 on Sunday. Peter Thomson set the old tourna King, 31, shot a final-round 4-un-der-par 67 for a 72-hole total of 6-under-par 278, two strokes better than Japan's Ayaka Okamoto in the race for the $75,000 first prize. Okamoto, who had a final-round 72, and Cathy Morse, who ballooned to 74 over the final 18 holes, had enjoyed three-stroke leads as co-leaders after three rounds. Okamoto, who birdied the final hole, earned $46,250 for second.

Rodriguez holed a 15-foot putt for a Big win: Tom Kite reacts after By The Associated Press POTOMAC, Md. Tom Kite overcame a lackluster front nine to shoot a 2-under-par 69 Sunday and capture the $700,000 Kemper Open by seven strokes. Kite, who brought a one-shot lead into the final round, finished with a 14-under-par 270 total to earn the $126,000 first prize. It was his biggest payday in 15 years on the PGA Tour. Chris Perry and Howard Twitty finished second to earn $61,600 each in the inaugural tour event at the Tournament Players Club course at Avenel.

Kite made four bogeys on the front nine and led Twitty by only two shots after the 10th hole. But he gradually stretched the advantage to six strokes by notching birdies on Nos. 11 and 12 and an eagle on the 524-yard par-5 13th hole. Kite all but wrapped up his first tournament title of the year when he holed a 40-foot putt to go 14-under with five holes to play. It was the largest margin of victory on the tour this year.

Kite, who is the only player to win a tournament in each of the last seven years, moved up 12 notches to No. 8 on this year's money-list. He birdie-2 on the 183-yard 17th to over- making a putt on the second take Crampton, hole Sunday- has earned $324,583 this season and is fifth on the all-time list with $3,244,074. Perry, who entered the final round one stroke behind Kite, had six bogeys on the front nine to fall well behind the leaders. Still, it was the best-ever finish for Perry, the son of former major-league pitcher Jim Perry Mike Reicl, Scott Simpson and Greg Norman each finished at 278.

Norman, the defending champion and co-leader with Kite after Thursday's first round, trailed the leader by one stroke after eight holes. But he fell off the pace when he double-bogeyed the troublesome ninth hole for the second straight day. King lunches on field at the McDonald's tournament WILMINGTON, DEL. Betsy King birdied three of the last four holes to pull away from a pack of golfers Sunday and win the $500,000 LPGA McDonald's Championship, her third tournament victory of the year and one that made her the tour's leading money winner. iTii-4niriiJS i zz'it '-'2 A Ai It -mm Whiiewali Save oft Stel' We're reducing our inventory and we're reducing our prices on a first quality selection of carpets.
