Saturday, June 21, 1975 THE MICHIGAN- DAILY Page Eleven Watson wizards weather, fires fabulous 68 for first Never up, never in THIS OLD ADAGE still trips off the tongues of those golf commentators who bring PGA golf to American homes, (the golf- ers say it a little bit differ- ently), but Johnny Miller was sure a little push would help one of his birdie putts at Medinah yesterday. Miller's body english didn't work however and he set- tled for par on the way to a 72 and a 147 after two, weather - affected rounds at the U. S. Open. AP Photo By The Associated Press MEDINAH, Ill.-Tom Watson, composed and confident he can avert the collapse that cost him this title a year ago, fashioned a gritty, 68 and swept into a three-stroke lead in yesterday's weather-delayed second round of the 75th U.S. Open Golf Championship. "I am more sure of myself and my ability to handle the pressure," said Watson, who held the third-round lead then blew this most coveted of all the world's golf titles with a horrendous 79 last season. Yesterday afternoon, the dif- ficult layout offered still an- other terror-lightning. "It's nothing to fool around with," Watson said. "You're talking about your life. I have a lot more U.S. Opens to play in, but I have only one life." With that in mind, he invoked the lightning rule and declined to tee off at his appointed time. He was questioned about the decision by two U.S. Golf Asso- ciation officials, including exec- utive director P. J. Boatright in a conference in the huge old mosque of a clubhouse. "They questioned whether the lightning was close enough for the rule to be invoked," Watson said. "We talked about it and they went out on the first tee and ZAP, there it hit. Mr. Boatright apologized to me later." Jack Nicklaus, the Masters champion who so desperately wants to win this one and keep alive his improbable dream of a one-year sweep of all the world's major titles, could man- age only a 70 and was seven shots back at even-par 142. The steamy heat got to Arnold Palmer and he bog- eyed five of six holes on the front side before parring the rest of the way for a 40-35-75 in the second round of the U.S. Open. r AFRU COUDA"o A FRIEND'S L FfE. 8 Month Fall/Winter Leases 2 month Summer Leases Un vers fly towers APARTMENTS South University at Forest Ave. i pi, . 2 blocks from the Diag " Air-Conditioned * Fully Carpeted " Piano and Recreation Room " Laundry Facilities " Study Room * Heated Swimming Pool * Maintenance and Security " Luxurious Lobby * Weekly Housekeeping A phone call.
