Ogden returns to team after disappointing trip

John Ogden, Kansas sophomore golfer, considers playing in the U.S. Amateur Tournament both an honor and the worst experience of his life.
Oden, a two-time U.S. Amateur participant, was one of 280 golfers to qualify for the top amateur tournament, held last week at Shoal Creek Golf Course in Shoal Creek, Ala. More than 5,000 golfers attempted to qualify in area tournaments. Only one other Kansas resident, John Sinovic of Prairie Village, qualified for the tournament.
However, Ogden's luck ran out after the first round when he failed to survive the cut to 64 golfers.
"I came in struggling," Ogden, of Kansas City, Kan., said yesterday of his performance in the tournament. "My self confidence was a problem. I wasn't nervous, but I was afraid of the golf course, and that was enough."
Heavy rain interrupted his round on the 12th hole at Birmingham Country Club, where about half of the entrants played the first day. At 6:15 the next morning he picked up where he had left off but finished with a 14-over-par 87 for the round. Then, later that day, he moved to Shoal Creek, a par-72 course designed by professional golfer Jack Nicklaus, and shot a 77.
"The best thing is, I grew up a lot from the experience," Ogden said.
Now that it's over, Ogden said he wanted to forget his score and the tournament and do his best for Kansas. He wants to see the Jayhawks make the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament. He also hopes to capture at least two tournament wins for himself.
Ogden, who plays the No. 2 position for Kansas behind Steve Madsen, has never won a tournament during his college career.
Men's golf head coach Ross Randall said the experience Oden
gained by playing in the U.S. Amateur could be very helpful if used the right way.
"With maturity, a player finally is able to think of each tournament as just another tournament, and
then he isn't as nervous," Randall said.
After graduation, Ogden wants to turn professional, but he said he had a lot of years left before he'd be ready.

Karen Dionne recovering wants to return to Kansas

Only nine months ago, Karen Dionne, a member of the KU swim team, nearly lost her life in an automobile accident, but she already is making plans to return to the University.
By RIC ANDERSON
Sports writer
Dionne was injured Nov. 30 while driving back to Lawrence after Thanksgiving break.
Dionne plans to leave her home in Bartlesville, Okla., tomorrow to go to the Medical Rehabilitation Center of Florida in Wauuchula, Fla. There she will undergo two to six months of physical, occupational and recreational therapy.
Tammy Pease, Dionne's teammate, died in the accident. Dionne suffered severe head injuries and was comatose for nearly two weeks after the accident.
If Dionne completes her therapy program in time for the spring semester, she will return to Lawrence. Dionne, who was a sophomore when the accident occurred, said yesterday that she was very anxious to return to classes and the swim team.
Gary Kempf, KU head swim coach, called once a week throughout the summer to keep in touch and check on her progress, Dionne said.
She said that when she made it back to KU she hoped to do a lot of swimming with the team.
"I've been lifting weights and swimming a little." Dionne said.
Kempf said he was amazed at how
Karen Dionne
much Dionne had accomplished in such a short time.
Though Dionne isn't completely recovered — her speech and motor functions still show the accident's effects — Kempf said he was satisfied with the progress she had made.
"Everything from here on out is gravy, icing on the cake," he said.
"Her brain was very, very severe
lv bruised. And your brain takes
long time to heal.
"If she hadn't been the caliber of athlete she is, she never would have come so far."
rkempf said Dionne's remarkable comeback was due to her winning attitude.
"When I talked to Karen this summer, the words 'can't' and 'don't' just weren't in her vocabulary," he said. "It's always 'I will do this.' It may take some time, but I will do this."
Dionne was the 1985 Big Eight champion in the 100-yard breaststroke and was an All-American in the 200-yard-medley relay and 200-yard-freestyle relay.
Krempt said that although it was too early to say if Dionne would swim with the team when she returned, she would always have a position on the squad, in or out of the water.
"I saw her on Easter and she was walking real slow," Heil said. "Then I went back three weeks later and she was walking fast and even doing a little running."
Becky Heil, Dionne's teammate and roommate, also said she was amazed at the progress Karen had made.
"That's just Karen." Heil said. "Everybody knew she would pull out of it."
Heil said Dionne's strong will and determination were what made it possible for her to fight back
Jackson singles in KC loss
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ozzie Guillen went 4 for 4 with two RBIs and Russ Whitehart hit a solo home last night to lead the Chicago Sox to a 3-0 victory over the Kansas City Royals.
Guilleen, who had four singles, scored Tim Hulett in the fifth and ninth innings.
Steve Carlton was within one inning of recording his first American League shutout, but gave way to Bob Thippeen, who pitched the ninth for his fourth save. Carlton improved to 3-2 in the American League.
Carson improved seven hits and struck out three in eight innings. One of the hits he surrendered came on Bo Jackson's first major-league at-bat.
Jackson's first major triumph was Kansas City starter Danny Jackson, who had won three of his last four decisions, gave up seven hits and fell to 9-10.
Bo Jackson opened with a single and nearly hit into a triple play in his final trip to the plate to go 1 for 3 in his first major-league start.
Jackson, batting sixth in the order and playing right field, followed his single with two ground outs.
Jackson hit a 2-2 pitch in the second inning off Carlton deep in the hole between first and second base. Second baseman Tim Hulett fielded the ball, but had no play. The crowd at Royals Stadium gave Jackson a standing oatment after the hit and the ball was removed from the game.
Earlier in the at-bat, the right-handed Jackson barely missed a home run when his long fly ball down the left-field line went foul. Royals officials in the press box estimated the shot went about 425 feet.
Jackson grounded out to shortstop in his next at-bat and then nearly hit into a triple play to end his night. After Steve Balboni and Frank White opened the seventh with singles, Jackson hit a sharp grounder down the third-base line that Dave Cochrane fielded.
Cochrane stepped on third for the force out and threw to second for the second out. Hulett made the pivot at second but umpire Rocky Roe ruled that Jackson just beat the throw to first.
