(AP) Tom Watson turned back a determined challenge by Jack Nicklaus and shook forever the label of "choker" with a five-under-par 67 that brought him a two-stroke triumph yesterday in the 41st Masters golf tournament. It was a gritty performance in the face of a stampeding charge by the game's greatest, most feared per former. Watson clinched it when he rammed in a 15-18 foot birdie putt on the 17th hole. Watson who collected the famed green jacket to go with the British Open crown he won in 1975, finished his 72 holes over the flowered hills of the Augusta National Golf Club course with a 276 total, 12 under par.

But Parachuteman only misses by about a hun dred feet, so the fans will have to satisfy their blood lust by watching the division champion Phillies destroy the Montreal Expos, the worst team in baseball last year. Montreal must have brought some of its weather along. The temperature is 47, but they must have taken that in the middle of the Schuylkill River, on fire at the time. An oil barge had exploded at the Gulf refinery, sending an omenous black cloud over the ballpark. Carlton serves up three gopher balls in the sixth inning, and the Phils lose 4-3, letting a bases-loaded double by Luzinski go to waste. A fan in the next row is in the mid-season form. He blames the loss on manager Danny Ozark. The fans are fast getting out, partly because they want to get in out to the cold, partly to get away from the stench of that fire.

Although eight men got into the title hunt at one time or another early in the final round, it developed into a two-man struggle down the stretch games they've played with the Blues in two, previous playoff encounters. That leaves an uphill task to St. Louis, which won the Smythe Division title and a bye into the quarter-finals, but still finished the regular season with 59 fewer points than the Canadiens in the standings. " The Blues thus will have seven games in which to register four victories against a team which lost only eight times in 80 games.
