a

_LPGA winner plays exhibition

rather than tournament

TORONTO (CP) — Now
that Nancy Lopez isn’t in
town, the scramble for the
top prize can begin in ear-
nest.

- "Lopez, the No. 1 money
winner this year on. the
Ladies Professional Golf
Association tour with

- $96,449.25, is not playing in
this week's stop—which
. begins today at St. George's
Golf and Country Club,

Although the tournament
has-$100,000 in prize money—
§15,000 to the winner—Lopez
will not be on hand to shoot
for her fourth consecutive
LPGA victory. Lopez is
honoring a commitment to
play an exhibition match
with Tom Watson.

‘With Lopez away the girls
will now play.

One who has a good shot at
the top prize is Penny Pulz,
the No. 2 money-winner. this
year with $54,916.17.

Although Pulz, 25, a native
of Australia who makes her
home ia California, has not
won a tournament this year,
she has been close many
times, Her best finish was
second place in the Winners
Circle. In her last two -
tournaments she has fin-
ished fourth both times.

St, George’s, a hilly 6,265-
yard par 73 could be the site
of her first tournament
victory of 1976. °
HER BEST START

“Sure, it's the best start of
my career,’ Pulz said

"Wednesday. "I've just been

a more consistent player

than in the past.

It’s not how you play —

it’s how you lose

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -
The real story behind the

62nd annual Indianapolis 500°

wasn't so much how Al
Unser won itfor a third time,
as it was how Tom Sneva,
Gordon Johncock, Steve
Krisiloff, Danny Ongals and *
everybody else lost it.

. Because of the unique
rules for the Indianapolis
‘race, the winner is usually
the guy who makes the
fewest mistakes and has the
least number of problems.

Unser had a smooth,
‘meventful race, “It was the
easiest of my 13 races here,”
he said.

Only when he scraped a
tire and knocked his steering
slightly out of whack on his
final pit stop did he have any
trouble. But by then his lead
was so great that Sneva
could not overtake him. ~

Sneva had handling
problems for 40 laps'in the
middle of the race. "By the
time we figured out what
was wrong and fixed it, it
was too late,’’ he said.

Charging back from more

than 40 seconds behind,
~ Sneva closed to within 8.19
seconds in the second closest
finish in Indy history.
’ Johncock, who came in
third, was given a one-lap
penalty for. rolling over an
air hose tp a pneun
pit area“

Krisoloff was leading on
the 3st circuit when he and
Larry Dickson ran afoul of
the pacer, a light system
used to keep the field moving
around the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway, albeit at a
caution-perlod pace, in times
of trouble,

“Krisoloff improved his

neumatic tire

position by two pacer
segments, as did Dickson,”
said Dick Jordon, a United
States Auto Club official.
“They were both in the same
general location oni the track
, at the time.”

Ongais was a victim of
apparent mechanical
failure, a broken tur-
bocharger, with less than 100
miles to go. It took him out
of the fight for the lead,
where he had been since the
green flag had dropped, and
essentially gave the race to
