CHICAGO (AP)—Ken Venturi,
• bundle of nerves, settled down
for a successive eagle and birdie
on the last nine Sunday, shooting
a closing 66 for a 273 total to re-
tain his $57,000 Chicago Open golf
crown.
The 28-year-old San Francisco
auto salesman beat out the sen-
timental favorite, little-known
Johnny Pott of Shreveport, La ,
by one stroke in capturing the
$9.000 first prize
Pott, 23-year-old former Louisi-
ana State University star seeking
his first tourney victory as a pro.
had a three-stroke lead entering
the final round on the wind-swept
par 35-35—70 Gleneagles course.
But Johnny, the leader through-
out the first three rounds, slipped'
to a 37-35—72 to go with his pre-
vious cards of a course record 63

He paired the next in regulation

with a regulation four for a 34 and
the 66 to go with his other rounds
of 64-75-68, seven under par for
the distance
Pott's chances slumped when he
had to waste a shot after his drive
landed at the base of a tree, on
the 13th, where Venturi captured
his eagle. Pott got on in three
and two-putted for par 5 and he
parted on in.
On the final green, Pott's ap-
proach was 30 feet short of the
cup and he missed the putt that

to five hits Sunday as the league-
leading Milwaukee Braves defeat-
ed the Cubs 2-1 before 32,884
All of the scoring was done in
the fourth inning, and the margin
of Pizarro's first victory was Dale
Long’s error on a pop foul.
After Eddie Mathews matched
the Cubs’ run with his 23rd homer.
Wes Covington singled and Joe
Adcock walked. Long dropped Del
Crandall's foul and Crandall then
singled to score Covington with
what proved to be the winning
run.
