Baker-Finch cries tears of joy
SOUTHPORT, England (AP) lan BakerFinch, so mechanical on the course, so emotional off, took charge of the British Open on the final day at last and floated away in a sweet blur of tears and champagne. He cried when he hugged the trophy, cried more when he spoke to the crowd. He wept with his wife and daughter and mates from Down Under, who toasted him with bubbly and relished Sunday’s 1-2 finish of Australians, neither of them named Norman. THESE WERE DIFFERENT tears from the ones Baker-Finch shed for an hour after blowing the lead as a 23-year-old at St. Andrews in 1984. Different from the ones last year, when he was blown away by Nick Faldo in the final round. Intrepid, efficient and accurate from the tee to the green, Baker-Finch learned from those failures and didn’t repeat them as he shot a 66 to beat countryman Mike Harwood by two strokes with an 8-under-par 272.

Baker-Finch’s one regret was the mob of fans that crushed around him dangerously on the 18th fairway, denying him a chance to savor his stroll to the final hole. “I didn’t really smell the roses until I got through the crowd,” he said wistfully. IN TRUTH, HIS ceremonial march began when he left the seventh green with his fifth birdie tucked away after a 15-foot putt and his first British Open title virtually assured. From that moment on, no one threatened and Baker-Finch never seriously faltered. There was as little drama on the course as there was in the sky, with the breezes unusually tame on a warm, golden afternoon on the coast of the Irish Sea. Bees and butterflies played among the wildflowers and fans lazed on the slopes beside the greens. All along the way, though, Baker-Finch’s caddy kept him pumped up, pushing him to go for the pins, not play safe, not let up.

Colts out to be offensive
ANDERSON, Ind. (AP) The Colts plan to show skeptics this season that their offense can be dangerous. Last year, Indianapolis ranked 27th in offense in the NFL. The team rushed for less than 100 yards 12 times, failed to generate 200 yards in total offense four times and twice were limited to seven first downs or fewer. BUT THIS YEAR, the Colts say they have a potent combination in running back Eric Dickerson and second-year quarterback Jeff George. “I think we can be a really explosive offense,” George said. “I think we can throw up some big numbers. I don’t think very many teams can match up with what we’ve got” Last year, the season started with Dickerson on the sidelines. He had been suspended for five games and
“You’re the champ, pard, you’re the champ,” said the caddy, Peter Bender, who wanted his man to get the feeling of being a champion and playing like one. BENDER KNEW ABOUT winning in the British Open, having caddied for Greg Norman when he won in 1986. “Greg’s more a power player,” Bender said. “lan wears you down. He’s kind of a jabber, keeps stabbing you, cutting you, nicking you.” He nicked a piece off par with a 12-foot putt on the second hole, sliced another stroke off with a 10-footer on the third. A superb 3-iron “my best shot all day” put him 6 feet from the pin on No. 4, and he holed that out to go 3under for the round in four holes. It didn’t matter that Jodie Mudd had just grabbed the clubhouse lead with a 63, a stroke better than Baker-Finch’s day-old course record and the lowest final-day score in the British Open’s 120-year history.

was unable to mesh with George, a rookie. NOW GEORGE IS entering his second season and won’t be groping in the dark. Last year’s No. 1 draft pick was given some playcalling options toward the end of last season, a role which will be expanded in 1991. “Every time I come to the line, Leon (Burtnett, offensive coordinator) says if I see something I like, I can check to it,” said George, who started shaky last year before orchestrating a 5-3 finish. “With that type of freedom with me being out on the field seeing everything it really helps out a lot.” The Colts also want to see the ball in Dickerson’s hands more often this year. “FOR US TO win, Eric has to touch the ball ... a lot,” said Burtnett.
