(UPI) — Jimmy Demaret blew an 18-inch putt on the first play-off hole and it cost him $3,500, but he could still smile today about his loss to young Tommy Jacobs for the Palm Springs golf classic title. Demaret, who admits to 53 summers, and Jacobs, 29, were tied at the end of the regulation 90 holes in this marathon event Sunday and Jacobs picked up first prize money of $7,500, leaving Demaret with second money of $4,000. Jacobs was in trouble on the first hole of the playoff when his second shot landed in behind a tree. Demaret was on the green in three on the 510yard par-five hole and he lagged his first putt to within 18 inches of the pin. He took a long tithe addressing the ball and then missed, taking a bogey, as did Jacobs. “That was just a bad putt,” said Demaret afterwards. “I was pretty disgusted with myself.’ Then he laughed and added, “Tommy’s a good boy. I’ve got a lot of years left and he’s about through. Actually, I juSt ran out of steam.” On the second extra hole, Demaret’s tee shot hit pne of the estimated 6,000 spectators swarming around Jhe,, golfers while Jacobs got on the green and two-putted for a par-three. By then, Demaret was lying three on the green so it was all over. Jacobs also won $1,132 in the pro-am phase of the tournament, taking home a total of $8,632. \He and Demaret had 90-hole scores of 353 — seven under par. Jacobs had rounds of 66-74-74-69-70; Demaret, 75-68-67-72-71. Don January, the slender Texan, and southpaw Bob Charles, reigning British Open king from New Zealand, finished in a tie for third at 354 and pach won $3,100. Next, at 355, and winners of $2,450 each were Bob Goalby and young Chuck Courtney,
