Palmer and Trevino Favored Ahead of Kemper Open Start
Palmer and Trevino head a strong field at the Kemper Open at Pleasant Valley Country Club with $150,000 prize. Palmer, age 89 on Tuesday, is a slight favorite as others like Nicklaus Casper and Player are absent. The course, a 7,200-yard par 72, plays longer after rain with immense greens, making distance less decisive than precision putting on surfaces averaging over 10,000 square feet. Trevino, Stockton, and Weiskopf join a roster including Sanders, Wall, Brewer, Still, Rodriguez, Nagle, Nichols, Barron, Crampton, Rudolph, Geiberger, Finsterwald, and Fleckman. Lefty Driesell notes a goatee may help his appearance and jokes about players fitting the style.
