Snead, a 30-year-old nephew of the famed Sam Snead, had just finished with a 72 and a total of 282 when Rodriguez approached the final hole on the 6,108-yard Valley Country Club course.
The graying, diminutive veteran needed only par on the 425-yard, uphill pair four hole to playoff for the $30,000 first prize
Chi Chi, however, put his second shot over the green and into the gallery. He chipped back a few inches, but the cup, then missed the par for par.
RODERIGUEZ had a final
round 74—two over on the
very tough, cool and breezy
out—and finished second at
283.
Another two strokes back were chunky Jimmy Jamieson and veteran Dick Rhyan, who shared third at 285. Jamieson, who had led or shred the lead through the two rounds, had a 73 and a 69 on the way, who had competed in four events all season, had a 70.
Dave Hill matched that two-
under-par 70-best score of the day
and two of the only seven sub-
par 65. He was, and was alone
in fifth at 288.
Hubert Green, 7, Homo Biancaes, 73, and Bob Murphy, 59, were tied at 287 and were the only others able to break par 288 for
four rounds on the deceptively difficult layout.

Snead, who didn't take up golf until after abandoning a career and then playing in a soccer player, picked up $30,000 for the victory and advanced his total to No. 16.
Snead started slowly this season, however, until he vaulted into contention one stroke off the ball and scored a goal in finish in Saturday's third round.
HE WON the Tucson and Doral Opens in the space of three weeks, accumulated more than $82,000 in winnings for the year and played a starring role on the state's victorious Ryder Cup team.
Rodriguez when he played the front nine in par 36 and Rodriguez slipped to a 38 when he hit into the seventh, fourth and bogeyed the seventh.
Snead, playing in the group just ahead of Rodriguez, moved two strokes infront with a bird on the par five 17th, but Rodriguez came later and one stroke again separate them going to the 27th hole.
Snead beogwyet it, plugging his drive into a fairway bunker and Rodriguez needed only the par in clenched him to tie for the lie.
