Masters. This year seemed to be
his turn to win it a second time
because fate was on his side.
Harvey Penick, Crenshaw's
lifelong golf teacher and friend
died one week before the Masters
at the age of 90. Crenshaw
dedicated his victory to Penick
because he felt Harvey was there
with him on every shot and putt.
With Love 111 in the clubhouse
tied at 13-under-par, Crenshaw
made his move.
At the 16th hole, Crenshaw hit
a sensational six-iron shot off the
tee placing the ball three feet
from the hole and knocking it for
birdie and the lead at 14-under.
On No. 17 Crenshaw nailed a
12-footer for birdie with his
magical putting stroke to put
him at 15-under with one hole
left and a two stroke lead.
Crenshaw played the par-4,
18th hole safely as he made
bogey.
After Crenshaw sank his final
putt, all the emotions he had
bottled up inside himself came
out. He let his hat and putter
drop to the green as he held his
hands over his eyes to fight the
tears while his caddy, Carl
Jackson, hugged him.

Behrend T
Men finish fourth at Super Sport Invite
by Nick Zulovich
Assistant Sports Editor
The Behrend men's tennis team
finished a respectable fourth in
the Super Sport Invite this past
weekend.
A total of eight schools
including Behrend were in
competition last Saturday and
Sunday. Allegheny defeated
Carnegie-Mellon in the
championship game to win the
tournament.
The Behrend men were defeated
in the final match of the
consolation bracket by Frostburg
State.
The tournament was held
indoors at the Pennbriar Athletic
Club. Head Coach Chuck
Keenan said that he felt his team
had somewhat of an advantage
playing at Pennbriar.
"The courts are quite a bit
faster there. Plus we have
practiced and we have had a few
other matches at Pennbriar,"
explained Keenan.
But Keenan stated that
"Allegheny has also had matches
there in the past. We weren't the
only team ever to play there."
Behrend senior Karl Van Tassel
enjoyed a very exceptional
tournament. Van Tassel lost only
one match during the entire
tournament. Van Tassel explained
the loss was due to how early in
the morning the match was.
nms:
"I'm used to playing later in
the day and at night. I don't
think I had the time to prep• for
that match in the way I wanted
to," stated VanTassal.
Keenan explained how
impressed he was with the
senior's play.
"Karl just had an excellent
tournament. Losing only one
match is an accomplishme-t "
stated Keenan.
VanTassal said that because of
his style of play he was able to

win against higher competition.
"I just feel I was able to keep
my composure on the court. I
made my shots when I had to,"
VanTassal.
Keenan concluded by saying,
"It's always good experience
when you can play a higher level
of competition. That's what the
guys got in this tournament."

their season today with a match
