Nicklaus Sees 65 or 66 as Open bid despite rough round
Nicklaus faced wind and swing woes at the U S Open in St Louis and said he could still shoot 65 or 66. Kel Nagle led with 68 as Arnold Palmer struggled to 76 and defending champ Ken Venturi shot 81. Patton withdrew, with players eyeing the cut as adverse conditions persisted. Nagle, 44, believes the wind aided his approach as he pursues a historic win. Palmer defended his effort but admitted it was not his best.
