II don't say I'm going back

fellows aside" Nelson said to-
day. But I've decided it would
be interesting to get my game
back in the best possible shape
and see how I'd fare.
i've always kept myself In
good physical condition. I've
changed my outlook so that I'm
not so scared any more. I've
worked harder on my game

Nelson came to the Augusta

weeks of intensive practice. On
his first practice round he had
a 76. Then he had a 70. The
third time it was 70, two under

II was real pleased with that
improvement" he said. Nov,

about my chances of winning.
But if 1 do well, then l may
play in a few more tourna-

At this point, Nelson may
have let his mind wander back
to those glorious days 20 years
ago when he was king Of the
