Lyle grabs British Open title
By 808 GREEN
AP Golf Writer
SANDWICH, England The turning point
came on the 14th green, where Sandy Lyle holed
a long, long putt from the fringe for a birdie.
"I knew I was back in it. Tears came to my
eyes," he said after converting the momentum of
that dramatic birdie into a one-stroke victory
yesterday in the 114th British Open Golf
Championship.
"A great honor," said Lyle, who became the
first Scot to win the Open Championship since
Tommy Armour in 1931, and the first British
subject to take this national title since Tony
Jacklin in 1969.
"The Europeans have been coming on bit by
bit," Lyle said. "It was just a matter of time
before a Brlt won."
Lyle, 27, came from three shots back with a
closing round of par 70 and was aided by the
collapse of would-be contenders and claimed the
ancient title with a 282 total, two shots over par
on the windswept Royal St. George's links.
A pro since he was in his teens, the long-hitting
Lyle twice led the British Order of Merit. He's
won a dozen times around the world but has,
from time to time, been criticized for not achiev
ing more.
"I'm a professional player. I have broad shoul
ders. I take the beating with the winning," he
said, then flashed a boyish grin.
"I've been a bridesmaid so often, this is a great
on to be the bride in," he said. "Pinch me. I want
to be sure it's real."
It was.
Payne Stewart, a casual, easy-going Ameri
can, was second alone at 283. Stewart, playing
about an hour in•front of the other contenders,
made par on the last two holes an extremely
difficult task this windy day to finish off a
round of 68, two-under-par.
"I'll just sit back and see what happens," he
said.
And it was with a certain fascination that he
watched player after player come to the finishing
holes with one of the world's great titles on the
line, play their best shots and walk away with
expressions of strained frustration.
Even Lyle was not exempt.
On the 18th, when it appeared that he needed a
par to avoid a playoff, Lyle missed the green to
the left with his second shot and then stubbed his
chip, moving the ball only a few feet.
He dropped to his knees, stared at the ball for a
moment, then' buried his face in the grass and
weeds. •
But he got to his feet, missed the long putt for
par and took a bogey.
That got him in at two-over-par and eliminated
Stewart.
But David Graham, an Australian now living in
the United States, and Masters champion Bern
hard Langer of West Germany, the third round
leaders and playing in the last group on the
course, still were very much in it.
Each had a chance a very longshot chance
to tie. ,
They
,went to the 18th, a 458-yard par-four
playing into the wind, needing a birdie to catch
Lyle.
ets' offensive explosion crushes Atlanta
By The Associated Press
The way George Foster sees it, the New
York Mets may mean bad news for the rest
of the National League.
"Our entire lineup is contributing now
and the way we're going, no team is going to
be able to hold us down," Foster said after
driving home five runs yesterday as the
Mets outhit the Atlanta Braves 15-10.
The victory came one day after the Mets
drubbed the Braves 16-4.
"It was just a matter of breaking out of
our slump and getting it together," said
Foster, who went 3-for-3, including a three
run hcimer and a double.
In other National League games, Cincin
nati got past Philadelphia 7-6, Houston beat
Montreal 5-4, San Francisco shaded Chi
cago 2-1, Pittsburgh defeated San Diego 5-2
and St. Louis beat Los Angeles 4-2 in 10
innings
In the American League, Texas rallied
past Detroit 7-5, Toronto hammered Oak
land 11-4, Baltimore beat Kansas City 6-4,
Boston downed California 8-4, Milwaukee
edged Seattle 5-4, New York topped Minne
sota 5-2 and Cleveland defeated Chicago 4-3
in 10 innings. _ _
The Mets have gone 15-3 in the month of
July, and set a team record by scoring 31
runs in two consecutive games. Those two
high-scoring affairs have raised the Mets'
batting average 12 points to .242.
'Foster, meanwhile, is batting .368 in his
last 19 games. He has three homers and 15
RBI in his last 10 games.
"All of that is nice," Foster said. "But I'm
not doing this by myself. You need guys on
base to make things happen. Guys like
Keith (Hernandez), Gary (Carter) and Dar
ryl (Strawberry) have to be hitting, too."
"My best year statistic-wise was with
Cincinnati (1977, when he batted .320 and hit
52 homers), but we didn't win anything.
(Dale) Murphy has had great years, also,
but the Braves haven't won anything. Nei
ther did Montreal with Carter."
Howard Johnson hit a two-run homer off
loser Pascual Perez, 1-8, and Hernandez
drove in two runs with a pair of doubles and
a single
Dale Murphy, Claudell Washington and
Terry Harper for the Braves, who trailed 9-1
before rallying within 9-7 in the seventh.
But Langer, who had a horrible day, missed
the green with his approach and Graham was
bunkered. Instead of birdie r each made a bogey.
That dropped them back into a tie for third
with American Mark O'Meara, Christy O'Connor
Jr. of Ireland, and Jose Rivero of Spain.
O'Meara, once within one stroke of the lead,
had no chance after a bogey on the 17th and shot
72.
Rivero played the front in 31 and closed up with
a 68.

Noah in D.C. finals
as Connors falters
By IRA.ROSBNFELD
AP Sports Writer
WASHINGTON D.C. France's
Yannick Noah, ending five years
of frustration, defeated top-seeded
Jimmy Connors last night, 6-4, 3-6,
6-2, to advance to the finals of the
$200,000 D.C. National Bank Ten
nis Classic.
Noah, seeded third, will face
11th-seeded Martin Jaite of Argen
tina, who outlasted fellow country
man Marcelo Ingaramo earlier
yesterday, 6-4, 5-7, 6-2. Noah, who
earlier this year won the Italian
Open on 'clay, will be vying for his
second title of the year tonight.
"I feel very good about my
chances in the finals although I
have never played him (Jaite),"
said Noah, the world's 10th-ranked
player. "The past few years, if I
play as well as I can, I have felt I
can beat anybody."
The loss marked the eighth time
this year Connors has reached the
semifinals without coming away
with a tournament championship.
The possessor of a record 105
career singles titles, Connors had
won here previously in 1976 and
1978.
"I'm just going to continue to
play . . . I'm not going to change
my style, I like playing like I do,"
said Connors.
In beating Connors for the first
time in a six-match series dating
back to 1980, Noah used a steady
baseline game complemented
with a powerful serve.
"I served very well. I knew I
could count on one or two aces
with every game. I was very confi
dent," said Noah, who served up
11 aces in the match. "I tried to
keep him away from the net, hit
high, and change the pace."
Connors, who had waltzed into
the semifinal round without meet
ing a seeded player, dropped his
first set of the tournament in the
opening set yesterday. Noah, with
four aces and seven service-win
ners, kept Connors from using his
most potent weapon, the service
return.
Connors blamed the defeat on
both his own poor play and a series
of questionable calls by chair um
pire Leon Lipp.
"He was screwing us both fror6
the first game of the match, and
that set the precedent," said Con
nors, who would be cited later in
the match for shouting obsenities
at Lipp.
"I've won and lost before," Con
nors said. "Losing doesn't leave a

bad taste in my mouth, but I have
a bad taste in my mouth for him
(Lipp)."
In tbe.second set the two traded
two service breaks as Connors
enjoyed a four games to three
lead. In the eighth game of the set,
Noah's reliable serve abandoned
him. Connors, taking advantage of
four second serves, won the game
for a 5-3 lead. He then held serve to
win the set.
In the decisive third set, Noah
broke Connors in the fourth game
and then held serve in a game
featuring three successive aces to
build a 4-1 lead. •
Connors, visibly upset and argu
ing with the umpire on the validity
of the final ace, was cited for a
code-violation for using obscene
language.
At five games to two, Connors
staved off two match points, but on
the third hit a backhand into the
net to end the 2 hours and 15
minutes match.
The winner of the eight-day tour
nament takes home a check for
$34,000, with the runnerup getting
half that amount.
The meeting between the 11th
seeded Jaite and Ingaramo was
the first ever between the long
time friends. Jaite used a steady
forehand and backhand passing
shots to defeat Ingaramo, who was
attempting to reach a tournament
final for the first time in his three
years as a professional.
A finalist last week at the U.S.
Pro Championships at Brookline,
Mass., Jaite advanced to the
thampionship round here by de
feating Peru's Jaime Ycaca and
Pablo Arraya, Czechoslovakia's
Libor Pimek and Ingaramo.
Yesterday, Jaite won the pivotal
ninth game of the first set to take a
5-4 lead. Ingaramo, who had bat
tled back to deuce from 15-40,
made two unforced errors to drop
the game. In the final game of the
set, Ingaramo missed a drop shot
at the net to bring up set point and
then was caught at the net as Jaite
fired a cross-court forehand to
capture the first set.
Ingaramo won the second set
after breaking Jaite at love in the
fourth and 12th games.
In the deciding set, Jaite broke a
tiring Ingaramo in the fifth and
seventh games to take a com
manding 5-2 lead.
Ingaramo, who beat his idol
Argentine Guillermo Vilas in a
two-hour match Saturday night,
admitted the match had taken
much out of him.
Astros 5, Expos 4
Glenn Davis homered and singled, driv
ing in two runs as Houston ended a six-game
losing streak. The Astros had scored just
one run in their previous 43 innings before
the game in Montreal.
Giants 2, Cubs 1
Jeff Leonard homered and Bill Laskey, 3-
11, got relief help from Greg Minton. Laskey
left in the eighth inning and Minton allowed
an RBI single to Richie Hebner before
getting Keith Moreland to ground into an
inning-ending double play on a 3-0 count.
Yankees 5, Twins 2
Phil Niekro scattered seven hits for his
293rd career victory and Dave Winfield hit a
three-run homer in the first inning. The 46-
year-old Niekro, 9-8, was trying to become
the oldest pitcher to throw a shutout in the
major leagues. Niekro lost his bid to erase
Satchel Paige's mark when Kent Hrbek hit
a two-run homer in the eighth.
Winfield's homer, off Frank Viola, 10-8,
traveled 456 feet.
Blue Jays 11, A's 4
Damaso Garcia hit a two-run single, spar
king a five-run uprising in the seventh.
Jesse Barfield's two-run double helped the
host Blue Jays take a 4-1 lead in the first
inning.
Rangers 7, Tigers 5
Toby Harrah's pinch-single tied the score
and Wayne Tolleson followed with a two-run
homer as visiting Texas rallied for three
runs in the ninth inning.
Red Sox 8, Angels 4
Rich Gedrnan and Bill Buckner each
drove home three Boston runs, Dwight
Evans hit his 11th home run of the season
and Wade Boggs extended his hitting streak
to 24 games.
Orioles 6, Royals 4
Eddie Murray sliced a two-run double
with the bases loaded, snapping a seventh
inning tie in Baltimore.

Tony Bernazard homered with two outs in
the 10th inning, helping Cleveland end a 14-
game losing streak at Comiskey Park.
Brewers 5, Mariners 4
Robin Yount homered and drove in three
runs and Ted Simmons hit a solo home run.
Gorman Thomas, Alvin Davis and Dave
Henderson homered for the visiting Mari

Forsman wins
at Quad Cities
COAL VALLEY, 111. (AP) Dan
Forsman, never before a PGA win
ner, yesterday fought off his own
erratic front-nine golfing and a mid
round charge from Bob Tway to win
the $300,000 Quad Cities Open.
Forsman, 27, who had begun
fuurtb-round action with a one-stroke,
10-under-par lead, birdied six holes to
make up for fourth-, fifth- and 18th
hole bogeys and finish with a 13-under
267 a stroke in front of second-place
Tway, 26, a PGA novice and the
tourney leader at the halfway mark.
Each golfer laid the ball poorly on
their second 18th-hole shots and both
'wound up with one-over bogeys there.
ForsMan earned $54,000 for his top
finish at the par-70, 6,514 -yard Oak
wood Country Club near the Quad
Cities of Illinois and lowa boosting
his 1985 winnings to $114,000.
Forsman's highest previous fin
ishes had been a fourth-place tie at
the Phoenix Open in January and an
eighth-place tie a month later at the
Honda Classic in Coral Springs, Fla.
Tway, the 14th Quad Cities Open's
opening day co-leader and sole leader
after Friday's second round, took
home $32,400 for second place.
Tway had begun the final 18 holes in
a three-way tie for second place, one
stroke off Forsman's pace. He bird
ied the fifth through seventh holes,
bogeyed the eighth and then birdied
the 10th and 11th holes to put himself
at 13-under in good shape if
Forsman faltered.
But Tway's second shot on the 18th
hole was no better than Forsman's, so
he had to settle for second place.
PGA-novice Brad Fabel, whose
best so far had been 11th-place ties in
both Phoenix Open and the Honda
Classic . double-bogeyed the 18th to
miss a chance at winning or tying

Forsman and forcing a sudden-death
playoff.
DANVERS, Mass. (AP) As Judy
Clark walked the final holes on her
long path to victory, she wasn't con
cerned about controlling just her golf
shots. She fought to control her emo
tions.
"Just the thought of finally coming
in and winning made me want to sit
down and bawl on the golf course,"
Clark said after capturing her first
LPGA tournament with a three
stroke victory yesterday in the Bos
ton Five Classic.
The eight-year tour veteran was the
runnerup last Sunday in the U.S.
Women's Open. In the S&H Golf Clas
sic at St. Petersburg, Fla., in late
April she led by seven strokes after
two rounds but shot consecutive 75s to
finish in a fourth-place tie.
"After St. Pete, I was destroyed,"
said Clark. "I had a three-hour car
ride home and just cried. I said, 'why
am I doing this?' The last hour I
pumped myself up . . . I've just had
so many times when I've been close,
you can't give up."
Clark started yesterday's final
round with a four-stroke lead over
Rosie Jones and Jane Geddes.
"I just told myself, 'don't give them
anything. Make them come get you,'
" said Clark, who had a one-under
par 71 yesterday and finished the
tournament at eight-under 280.
The winner of 24 tournaments but
none since her 1981 victory here, shot
a final-round 69 on the par 72, 6,008-
yard Tara Ferncroft course and
ended at 283.
Geddes, who had two double bogeys
in the first 11 holes, finished strongly
with birdies at the 15th and 18th holes
for a 70 yesterday to tie Caponi for
second.

Timely moves give Elliott Pocono win
LONG POND, Pa. (AP) When
Bill Elliott won the Van Scoy Di
amond Mine 500 at Pocono Interna
tional Raceway June 9, he
attributed the victory to luck. Yes
terday, he gave ability credit in his
close race at the NASCAR Summer
500.
"I'd say I just made the right
moves at the right time," said El
liott, who took the lead for good on
the 2 1 / 2 -mile mountain trioval with
just 10 laps to go.
Despite handling problems com
ing off Pocono's three corners, El
liott was seldom out of the top five
all afternoon, passing the eventual
runner-up, Neil Bonnett, for his
first lead shortly after the race's
halfway point.
For the final 200 miles, the race
narrowed to four competitors
Elliott; Bonnett; Bonnett's team
mate, polesitter Darrell Waltrip,
who came in third; and Geoff Bod
ine, who finished fourth.
"I'll tell you, nobody gave me
that one," said Elliott, the Winston
Cup point leader. "I never worked
so hard to win a race in my life."
Elliott, who for most of the season
has experienced little trouble with
his Ford Thunderbird, had no such
luxury yesterday. During a prac
tice session Saturday, the Ford's
driveshaft broke, destroying the
transmission and rear end.
"We just about had to rebuild the
entire car," Elliott said.
"The car never ran as well as it
has before this season. We had
trouble getting out of the corners. It
ran better near the end of the race,
but we never got it really right.
"I was OK once I could get in
front I could use traffic and open
up a little but when they were all
running with me, we had all kinds of
trouble."
Elliott also ran into trouble when
he overshot his pit and was shuffled

Tim Richmond crashes his car into the wall on the first turn of Pocono International Raceway yesterday during the

to sixth for lap 178 behind Harry
Gant, who ended the race in fifth
place.
Four laps later, Elliot moved into
third and on lap 186 caught up to
Bonnett and Bodine, whose brakes
failed with 150 miles left in the race.
As he moved alongside Bonnett in
turn one, they bumped and swapped
paint. Elliott got past Bonnett, but
Waltrip passed both and led until
lap 190, when Elliott took the lead
and gradually drew away.
In the fight for second place, both
EIMIEE
the Junior Johnson drivers, Waltrip
and Bonnett, passed Bodine on the
straightaway with three laps to go
and Bonnett overtook his teammate
on the next circuit.
Elliott, who averaged 134.008
mph, took home $41,750 from the
total purse of $317,175. Bonnett
earned $28,450 for crossing the fin
ish line 2.02 seconds behind Elliott
and $lO,OOO for leading at the race's
midpoint.
The lead changed 36 times among
