Palmer and Player Compete as Trevino Skips Open
Arnold Palmer shot 73 with three sixes in round one while Gary Player, last week's PGA National winner, managed only a five. Trevino did not compete. Weaver, a former SMU backup, rose from pro tour hardship to win last season's Match Play, then faced a slow start this year before delivering clutch putting. A note recalls the Franco German war cavalry of 1870-71.
