Golf Roundup : Jacobsen Rebounds, Leads by 2 Strokes

Peter Jacobsen, who let last week’s Western Open title slip away on the final hole, shot a 6-under-par 65 Friday for a two-shot lead in the second round of the $600,000 Anheuser-Busch golf tournament at Williamsburg, Va.

Jacobsen had seven birdies and one bogey on the Kingsmill Golf Club’s 6,776-yard layout and was at 10-under-par 132.

Within three shots of Jacobsen were three U.S. Open champions--1976 winner Jerry Pate, 1984 titlist Fuzzy Zoeller and reigning champion Curtis Strange, who lives at Kingsmill.

Pate, continuing his comeback from three shoulder operations that have limited his playing time during the past six years, shot a 68 and was at 134 with Tom Purtzer, who had a 69.

Zoeller (68) and Strange (67) were at 135 with Scott Hoch (68), Bill Buttner (70) and Tom Sieckmann (66).

Dick Mast, who held the first-round lead with a 64, soared to a 75 and was at 139.

Donna White, seeking her first LPGA victory since 1983, shot a 4-under-par 67 for a one-shot lead over Amy Alcott and Martha Nause after two rounds of the $400,000 Mayflower tournament at Indianapolis.

White’s 36-hole score was 135.

Alcott tied the tournament record with a 65; Nause had a 67.

Larry Mowry birdied his first two holes and last two holes for a 6-under-par 66 and a one-stroke lead over Bob Brue in the opening round of the $300,000 GTE Northwest seniors tournament at Kenmore, Wash.

Next at 69 were defending champion Chi Chi Rodriguez, Bruce Crampton, Bruce Devlin and John Brodie, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback.

Fred Couples, the second-round leader, shot a 1-over-par 72 for a 209 total and dropped a stroke behind three players--Barry Lane and Roger Chapman of England and Peter Fowler of Australia, who share the lead after three rounds of the $425,000 Scottish Open at Gleneagles, Scotland.

Avis Brown, Yuka Irie and Wendy Kaupp shot 75s at Glendora Country Club to share medalist honors in sectional qualifying for the U.S. Women’s Open at Baltimore Country Club July 21-24.

Deborah Steinbach was next at 76. Brandie Burton won a playoff over seven other players for the final spot after they tied at 77.
