OAKVILLE, Ont. (CP) — Lee Trevino, playing con- servatively, walked and talked his way to his third Canadian ~ Open — golf championship Sunday with at even-par 71 score to win the $350,000 tournament by three strokes. ©

‘The Merry Dallas, Tex., who started the day three strokes back of tournament leader Tom Watton, finished the 72-hole

championship witha score of 21, under par on Glen Abbey's often treacherous 7,059-yard layout. © ‘

Trevino Hintahed three strokes in front of playing partner Ben Crenshaw. Watson, who led the. tour- nament Friday and Saturday and was heavily favored to add the $63,000 winning purse to his season's total of more than $350,000, faded to third with a closing round of 78 — seven over par,

The victory pushed Trevino's winnings this season to $175,117, He won

previous Canadian Opens in Wil, at Richelleu Valley in Montreal, and 1977 when the Open was firat played here.

‘| didn't seore well today,” the winner admitted after accepting the Peter Jackson Trophy.

Low scores of the day were 693 turned in early by George Burns and Howard Twitty. Defending champion Bruce Lietzké turned in a 70 as did Bob Gilder. Gilder : took fourth place alone at 286, one stroke in front of Lietzke,

Twitty and David Graham, .

"hop Canadian was Jim Nelford with a closing-round 7aand a four-day total of 288 — four over par. The 23-year- old Brigham Young’ star from Burnaby, B.C., took élghth-place money.

It was the best showing by a@ Canadian ip this tour- nament since George Knudson of Toronto tied for sixth in the 1972 cham- pionship at Cherry Hill Golf Club In Ridgeway, Ont.

-Nelford added $10,950 to his season's winnings to give him $36,187 this year.

Trevino, whose career -

winnings now are $2,024,563, said he didn’t start as if he was going to win. - “But I got a lot of con- fidence when I managed to par the first two holes. I got a ot more confidence, though, when I saw-Tom -(Watson) got that gix on the third hole,”

Wataon, who went into the round three strokes in front

money of Trevine and four in front of Australlan Jack Newton,

who set a course record 64 In

Thursday’s opening round, was heavily favored to hold his lead in the gusty winds that blow across the Glen Abbey course, ‘

But after his triple bogey on No.. 3, the season's top money winner on the’ tour never did get his game back together and finlshed his

round with six more bogeys -[ .

and just two birdies. .

His third-place share of the purse money, $23,800, gave him a season’s total of $387,624 — barely $12,000 short of becoming the first golfer onthe PGA tour to win $400,000 in a. single year.

Crenshaw was delighted

that his closing 71, playing in a group with Trevino and Curtis Strange, was good enough for Second-place prize money,

"Thad a poor start today (bogeys on the first and four holes) but I just tried to play par golf after that. Actually I was twounder the reat of the way.”

The only other Canadian of the 23 entered to survive the halfway cut was Gar Hamilton of Toronto, He finished with a 77 and his 290 was good for $816.
