Stockton collects PGA title METHESDA, Md. OP) - "It was in all the way;" Dave Stockton said of the 15-foot par-sav- ing putt on the 72nd hole that won him the PGA national championship yesterday. "I'll tell you, I was thinking about that play- off. "They said we'd go back to No. 13 to start it and I'd just butchered 13 and 14. I sure didn't want to play them over again. I was working as hard as I could on that putt at 18. "I looked up when the ball had gone about two feet from the putter. It never left the center of the cup. When it was five feet away I knew it was in. And it was one hell- uva feeling." Stockston, pro golf's supreme scrambler, had to make that putt to avoid a three-way sudden death playoff with veteran Don January and Masters champion Ray Floyd, who had finished ahead of him at 282. Stockton shot a final round 70 and had a 281 total, one over par on the Congressional Country Club course. "Actually, when I went to the 18th tee I thought I had a two-stroke lead," said Stockton, now a two-time PGA champion. "It was rather shocking news when I found out two guys were in at 282." But he was equal to it, scrambling, scratching and fighting his way out of trouble. He played his last 36 holes at one under par 139 and he one-untted 21 times. "When you're as short off the tee as I am, and crooked besides." Stockton grinned, "man, you're in a whole lot of trouble." .t this time he maneed to rake the best of his miafsrtimes and capit-ized on the donble ho-ev dissster that struck down three earlier leaders. "When I heard abont the troublas every- body else was hnving, well. it inst tore me up something mful," he said, dead-panned as could be. The chink" Floyd shot a last-ro'md 71 and January, a slow-moving, easy-going 46-year-old comeback king, had a 72 in the final round that was postponed from Sunday by a violent thunder- storm. They were watching by the 18th green, hoping to gain a playoff spot, when Stockton's par putt won it outright. Defending champion Jack Nicklaus, Australian David Graham, John Schlee and rookie Jerry Pate, the U. S. and Canadian Open champion, were another stroke back at 283. Pate had a 69 -the only subpar round of the day-Schlee a 70, Graham 72 and Nicklaus a struggling 74, four over par. Tom Weiskopf, Ben Crenshaw and Jerry Mc- Gee were at 284. Crenshaw matched par 70 while Weiskopf and McGee had 72s in the mild, sunny, gorgeous summer weather that was in sharp contrast to the violent storms that had plagued play over the weekend. All had a chance to win this, the last of the year's four major international tests of golf- ing greatness. All fell by the wayside. Nicklaus, January and Charles Coody, the for- mer Masters champion who led through 54 holes, were the major casualties. Each held sole con- trol of the lead, at one time. Each blew it with a double bogey. Coody, who finished with a fat 77 and a 284 total, was the first victim. lie drove into the rogh, still wet from the storm that forced a noston'ement of Sunday's play, on the third hale. flew his third shot over the green and made six. l-t-,t r 5t Nickl-us alone in the lead.

Chile, USSR may meet in Spain or West Germany LONDON () -- Spain and West Germany were reported ready to host the Davis Cup in- ter - zone tennis final between political arch-rivals, Chile and the Soviet Union. "The Spaniards have offered to stage the match and we've heard reports today that the West Germans may agree to stage it," David Gray said yes- terday. Gray is general secre- tary of the London - based In- ternational Lawn Tennis Feder- ation (ILTF) which supervises the Davis Cup. The Soviet Union qualified for the inter - zone final against Chile, the American zone win- ner, by defeating .Hungary in the European Zone A com- petition on Sunday in Tbilisi, USSR. THE OTHER inter - zone final pits European Zone B winners, Italy, against Australia, vic- tors in the Eastern Zone. The winners of the inter- zone finals will play for the Davis Cup. The draw setting the Soviet Union against Chile creates an awkward political situation. The Soviets severed political relations with Chile after Marx- ist president Salvador Allende was overthrown in a 1973 mili- tary coup. They refused to play Chile in a World Cup soccer match that same year. BUT SOVIET withdrawal from the Davis Cup could prove embarrassing at this moment with attention focused on the 1980 Olympic Games in Mos- cow. "The Soviet minister of sport said during the Montreal Olym- pics that any country in good standing with the International Olympic Committee would be welcome to participate in the 1980 games," said Gray. "And that includes Chile." The offer of a neutral terri- tory, such as Spain or West Germany, would skirt the poli- tical difficulties. "Nations usu- ally negotiate such "things among themselves and then no- tify us," said Gray. The Soviet- Chilean match is scheduled for late next month. The dates have not yet been specified. NOTHING LIKE WAITING to the last minute, as Dave Stockton sinks a 15-foot par putt on the final hole to clinch the 1976 PGA championship. Stockton shot an even par on Monday to finish at 281-one over par. STE V E'SLUNH 1313 SO.
