Ken Venturi: Strokes
built 202 days ago
Venturi staggered home with an 80 on Sunday, over half (42) of which were putts. He three-putted four times on the back nine, and Jack Burke Jr. shot a 71 to nip Venturi by a single stroke. Burke's 71 made him one of only two players to break par on the final day.

ANGOLA, Ind. – Defiance College placed three players among the top half of the field and ended in a tie for fifth place in the team standings in Tri-State University’s Ken Venturi Classic on Saturday. The Jackets fired a 314 and finished just eight strokes outside of the top three in the 10-team event.

Adding to the drama was Venturi's physical condition on a brutally hot and humid Saturday. Six strokes behind after 36 holes, Venturi turned in a 30, five under par, on Saturday morning, and was six under par when he went over par on the 17th and 18th holes. He appeared exhausted after this third round of 66 and there was doubt that he could play the fourth round. A doctor examined him and permitted him to play on. Venturi continued to hit brilliant strokes, overhauled the 54-hole leader, Jacobs, and, walking almost painfully, parred the last four holes to finish four strokes ahead of Jacobs.

Venturi, who was paired with Palmer and just a stroke behind at the time, disputes that. He said then and he says now that Palmer only chose to play a second ball after he made double bogey on the hole.
