(AP)-It is a familiar situation: A major golf tournament and Jack Nicklaus marshaling his resour- ces for still another assault on the record book. In a way, Nicklaus' entire season boils down to this event, the 63rd PGA national championship which gets star- ted today on the 7,070-yard, par-70 Atlanta Athletic Club course. "LET'S FACE IT-the other three are gone. Thisis the only one left this year," Nicklaus said, a reference to the game's major tournaments, the Big Four events around which he has built his golfing life. "I'm ready to give it my best shot," he said. "I'm as readyas I'm going to be." And, if he is not a clear-cut favorite, he is definitely the man to watch. He hasn't won this season. In fact, he's won only twice in the last three seasons. THAT COULD BE deceptive, however. This is a "major," the event along with the Masters, U.S. and British Opens, which comprise the world's four important tests. Nicklaus has dominated those tournaments to an ex- tent unrivaled in history. He has won them 17 times and is the defending champion in this one. Now, at 41, he concentrates on those four tournaments. The fact that he has failed to win in routine tour events, he indicated, is not significant. HE HAS BEEN second in three tour- Action SportsWear FACTORY CLOSEOUTS Swimwear, Footwear, Bodywear 406 E. Liberty 2 blocks off State St. naments, including the Masters and last week's Canadian Open. "I had a chance to win the Masters and I put myself in position where I thought I had a chance to win the U.S. Open, but I couldn't get anything in the hole when I needed to," he said. "And then there was the 83," the dreadful score he shot in the first roun'd of the British Open, a career-worst that took him out of that one. "NOW, HOWEVER, I'm playing reasonably well and actually putted pretty well at times last week," Nichlaus said. "I played pretty well last week, kept my patience well and that's hard to do at this time of the season. "This is a long, hard golf course and patience is going to be even more im- portant this week.
