First Victory
For Sanders

PENSACOLA, Fla, Mar. IL
(AP).-Doug Sanders has first
money in his wallet today for
the first time this year, and it
took one presSure-packed birdie
putt after another in the 500
600 Pensacola Open to put it
there.
Weathering a strong rally by
Don Fairfield, the 28-year-old
Sanders closed with a 3-under-
par SO yesterday for a 270 total
and $4,000 first money. Fair
field fired a 81 for 271.
With Fairfield applying the
pressure, Sanders Stroked in
birdie puts on the 18th, 18th
and 18th holes. Fairfield, who
started the round three strokes
off the pace, drew even on the
short 18th with a birdie duece
against Sanders DOGGY 4.
Regains Margin
Undaunted, Sanders got the
tWo-stroke margin back on the
next hole by sinking a 20-foot
birdie putt, while Fairfield
missed a 3-footer and took a
DOGGY S.
On the final hole Fairfield
had a par 4, and Sanders, TAX
ing no chances after neatly
blasting out of a stand trap,
settled for a DOGGY.
Sanders said the foot slashed
by a broken ash tray Thursday
was sore but didn't bother him
yesterday. Doug's best pre-
vious effort this year was third
place at New Orleans and a
Tie Tor third at Baton Rouge.

Billy Maxwell and Paul Har-
ney shared third place with

him from doing his usual re-

Maurice Shaw kept Mackin

attempts. Shaw entered the
game when Joe Jackson was
