Watson takes exciting Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. (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.

Philadelphia fans eat up that kind of thing.
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. Nobody says much
about the game. You don't talk about skeletons in
the family closet or about losses to the Montreal
Expos.
The wait to get out of the parking lot is long
enough to read the 'entire yearbook, statistics and

championship. He started the sunny,
spring day three strokes back, three
times tied Watson in one of the great
Masters race of all time, once had a
clear lead and then incredibly let it
get away.
He finished with a six-under-par 66
including a decisive bogey on ' the
final hold and a 278 total. It was the
third time he has finished second in
this event• and, again, destroyed his
glory dream of the unaccomplished
Grand Slam of Golf, the one-year
sweep of all the world's four major

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

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. "

Watson parred the 16th then saluted

the end of a thick, muscular forearm
