Trio face golf play-off
NZPA-AP New Jersey The L.P.G.A. Hall of Fame player, Joanne earner, today three-putted from 25 feet on the eighteenth green yesterday for a bogey and fell into a tie for the lead with Ayako Okamoto and Laura Davies, forcing an 18-hole play-off in the forty-second U.S. Women’s Open golf tournament, at Edison. Camer, aged 48, Okamoto
and Davies will play 18 holes today at the Plainfield Country Club. If a winner is not determined after 18 holes, there will be a sudden death play-off. All three finished the 72 holes of three-under-par 285, four shots ahead of Betsy Icing and Jody Rosenthal. For a while it looked like Camer was going to break a two-year victory drought and capture her third Open and forty-third professional vlc-
tory. She equalled the course record with her fourth-round 3-under-par 69. Scores (players U.S. unless stated).— 285.— J. earner, 74, 70, 72, 69; L. Davies (Britain), 72, 70, 72, 71; A. Okamoto (Japan), 71, 72, 70, 72. 289. B. King, 75, 73, 70, 71; J. Rosenthal, 71, 72, 74, 72. 290. D. Massey, 76, 69, 74, 71; D. Roberts, 74, 73, 69, 74.
