From all over the country more ink will be thrown out in an effort to convince the reading public that the Golden Bear has the golden touch. And who can quarrel with that fact. The Ohio State grad has won each of the above titles twice, though, of course, not in the same year. He is yearly one of the top money winners. Nick- lais has the strokes, the power and precision. When his game is right, Nicklaus dominates a course the way no other golfer has ever done so. But today Nicklaus is tense. He is living with the pressure and he grimly realizes that he is the man whom every one else is looking to knock off. Lee Trevino, the man who broke Nicklaus' string last year, terms him "the greatest player to ever hold a stick," But Tre- vino, with that cocky assurance that is his alone, drawls, "I can beat him."

Both have won this event twice and Nicklaus has won the Bing Crosby here at Pebble Beach in January with essentially the same layout as the Open. Despite some pre tee-off psy- chology on the part of both players, as well as verbal drives from challengers Tony Jacklin and Gary Player, the Open, which commences on Thursday to the heaviest TV coverage in golfing history, should be one of the finest played contests of the year. Held at Pebble Beach, the Open could surely be Nicklaus' this year. The course is made almost to his specifications. It's a driving. course with long wind- ing fairways, which have been narrowed for this event. New bunkers have been placed in the holes which were once con- sidered giveaways. For water hazards, the omnipresent Pacific Ocean on the seventeenth is cer- tainly threatening. The course is one of Nicklaus' favorites. "Pebble Beach is one of the finest courses in the world fro ma strategy standpoint. In many respects. it's a lot like some of the British seaside courses." A great deal will depend on the weather. If the breezes come in from the ocean, the scores will go imp at least ten strokes a round over a round played on a beautiful California day. Maybe, most likely, all the ink will become fact. The Bear has the best chance to growl at Pebble Beach of all linksmen. Nicklaus wants this tourna- ment very much and has set his sights on it. And when Jack plays tough, all predictions must favor him.
