McEnroe wins title
NZPA-Reuter Scottsdale, Arizona John McEnroe won his third tournament since the U.S. Open yesterday when he scored a 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, victory over a fellow American, Kevin Curren, in the final of the Scottsdale Open. McEnroe, the top seed needed an hour and two minutes to beat the third seed and collect the $U544,000 top prize. Curren received $U522,000 as runner-up. McEnroe’s three title victories in his last three tournaments put him a
?. step nearer his goal of reaching the | Masters, vplayed in December in New York. But the former top player in the world, j now ranked tenth will have to be near perfect in his next three tournaments if he is to qualify. “I’d have to win two of the next three tournaments and do well in the third at least,” said The 27-year old McEnroe. “Now- the Masters ;is only eight players. It used to be 16 and I lobbied against that. Looks like; I lobbied against myself because if it was 16 now, I’d make it.” \
