GOLF ROUNDUP : B.C. Open Is Initial Win for Henke

Tour sophomore Nolan Henke shot a three-under-par 68 Sunday to outlast Barry Jaeckel and hold off Mark Wiebe and earn his first PGA victory in the $700,000 B.C. Open at Endicott, N.Y.

Henke, who never trailed in the tournament after sharing the first-round lead with Jim Hallet, finished 72 holes at En-Joie Golf Course in 268, 16 under par, and three strokes better than Wiebe, who overtook Jaeckel for second when he birdied No. 18 for a final-round 64.

“I just tried to stay calm,” said Henke. “I knew I could screw up. I just didn’t want to screw up too bad.”

Jaeckel, who started the day three strokes behind Henke, pulled within a stroke of the lead on the 10th hole, but lost any chance of overtaking Henke when he suffered bogeys on 14 and 15.

Tied with Jaeckel at 272 were Doug Tewell with a 67, Brian Tennyson, 66, and Jim Benepe, 68.

Jim Dent, six shots off the lead when the final round began, shot a seven-under-par 65 and won the Senior Tour event at Richmond, Va., by a stroke over Lee Trevino.

Dent’s 14-under-par 202 total tied the 54-hole tournament record set two years ago by Arnold Palmer.

Dent’s fourth victory of the year earned him $52,000 and pushed him into second place on the earnings list with $583,377.

Trevino set a single-season money record with the $28,000 he earned for second place after a final-round 67 over the 6,444-yard Hermitage Country Club course.

He now has won $740,212, eclipsing Bob Charles’ mark of $725,157 set last year.

Second-round leader Gary Player was still in front at 15 under until he bogeyed three of the last six holes for a 73 that left him in third place at 204.

Ian Woosnam of Wales beat Mark McNulty of Zimbabwe, 4 and 2, at Virginia Water, England, to win his second World Match Play title in four years.

The runner-up to England’s Nick Faldo last year and a winner in 1987, Woosnam had McNulty chasing him all day.

Woosnam missed a short putt on the 29th hole that would have given him a two-hole lead. At the 30th, McNulty had to concede a Woosnam birdie and the Welshman stood two up with six to play.
