Scoreboard

P: Not until the 18th hole in the final round of the U.S. Golf Association's women's open did California's Mickey Wright, 23, admit to herself that she had a chance to win. Then she flubbed her approach shot and had to settle for a par. But she was still right where she had been all through the tournament--far in front. She finished five strokes ahead of Georgia's Louise Suggs, became the first woman ever to win the pro and open titles in the same season.

P: Right after he qualified two colts for Roosevelt Raceway's $108,565 Messenger Stake, one of harness racing's richest, Trainer-Driver Del Miller learned that he himself would be watching the race from the stands. For driving last year's Messenger winner Meadow Lands "in a manner inconsistent with an attempt to win," Miller was set down for 15 days. "As far as I'm concerned," he sulked, "I do not plan to be seen in a sulky at Roosevelt even after my suspension has run out."
