I felt it all during the week, said a happy and relaxed Ray Floyd after closing with a 69 Sunday for a 10-under-par total of 278 and a three-shot victory in the $250,000 Kemper Open Golf Tournament.

A 100-foot chip-in for an eagle three on the ninth hole proved the catylist for his first tour victory in six years. "1 got the right kind of kirks and bounces, and at key moments I made big putts," Floyd said. Looking bark at his long dry spell, he added, "I worked pretty hard and I felt on two or three occasions I should have won and I didn't." Although he didn't win last year, he had his biggest money season ever, winning $119,000. Floyd said his wife, Maria, is expecting their second child and added, "Lord knows we need the money." Also, he pointed out, "Today is my mothers birthday, so I guess it was a nice gift." Both his parents were in the gallery Sunday. "I really don't know any proper adjectives, but I guess in about 30 minutes I'll cry, he said with a grin.

The husky, 32-year-old Floyd had led by two shots after each of the first two rounds but surrendered the lead by one stroke to Gary Player in the third round. But on Sunday Floyd outshot the little South African, with whom he was paired, to win top money of It was Floyd's first victory since the PGA championship in 1969, a year in which he had three victories. Player shot a 73 Sunday to drop to a second-place tie at 281 with John Mahaffey, who closed with 70. Each bogied the final hole. Floyd never lost the lead after his spectacular eagle, which came shortly before cameras pirked up the aetion in the nationally televised final round.

He had birdied two of the three previous holes to move one shot ahead of Player. Player birdied the 535-yard ninth just after Floyd's eagle to trail by two, but never caught up. Floyd responded to his eagle by throwing his hands in the air and shaking his head as he walked to the green. His rounds of 65, 71, 73 and 69 over the toughened Quail Hollow Country Club course gave him a 10-under-par total, but equaled the record high winning score in the seven years the tournament has been held Jerry Heard finished fourth at 282, closing with a 72. Second-year pro Jim Masserio had his best tournament finish ever, tying for fifth at 283 with Britisher Peter Oosterhuis and Bob Murphy.

Fuentes 1 IP Mcintosh (W.6-31 0 0 EH BB SO 2 2 2 2 6 Hi MONTREAL (AP) Joe Mcintosh won the first major league battle of former Billings Royals Sunday as he pitched the San Diego Padres to a 5-2 win over the Expos and Dave McNal-ly in the opening game of a doubleheader Sunday. Pat Scanlon drilled a tie -breaking two run triple in the third inning of the second game as the Expos earned a 3-1 win and a split of the twin bill. Mcintosh and McNally met for the first time in their major league pitching careers in the game. Mcintosh is a rookie for the Padres after being a standout for Washington State University, where he set numerous Pac-8 records. He played in the San Diego farm system for all but the tail end of the 1974 season when he was called up to the majors.

McNally has been around much longer with a stellar career for the Baltimore Orioles in which he pitched on a World Series winning team before being traded to Montreal last winter. Mcintosh boosted his season won-loss record to 6-3 with the victory. His 2.20 earned run average is among the best in the National League this season.

With the score tied 1-1 in the nightcap, Dave Freisleben gave up a single to Larry Lintz and walked Larry Biittner with two out. Scanlon then ripped a shot to deep center field, Johnny Grubb slipped trying to chase it down and the ball landed at the base of the center field fence, both runners scoring.

But Bratsky, of Bridger, rode his draw to a score of 73 and pulled in an $800 check from a total purse of more than $2,000 for the event. Don Taddlini of Brush, and Mike Baker of Houston, Texas, split -second-place money for $300 each. Bratsky earned by far the biggest payoff of the rodeo beating the next highest first place by $303.

UTEP won with foreigners Kautzmann surprises shooters shot 194 in the singles event with Larimer winning the event after a shoot-off. Eaton claimed the AA trophy. At Saturday's Marathon event, Eaton won the top trophy with 495 of 500 singles while Larimer was runnerup with 493. Jim Butler of Gillette, and Ray Loseke of Sheridan, tied with 191 of 200 in Class A. Butler won the shoot-off.

The Class winner was Vera Copenhaver of Hinsdale with 188 of 200 with Gary Delano of Belgrade winning Class with 188 and Clair Boyer of Casper, winning Class 1 with 183. Wynn Isom of Big Timber won the 100 doubles title breaking 91 clay pidgeons. Class A went to Sapp after winning a shoot-off with Bill Beyl of Bozeman after each had broken 90 of 100. Larimer won Class with an 88 and Butler won Class doubles with 85 of 100.. Kautzmann's club title allows him to be the Billings Trap Club's representative in the Champion of Champions portion of the State Shoot in Missoula in July.

Duey Kautzmann surprised some of his elders at the Billings Trap Club Sunday, walking off with the club championship, among other things. Kautzmann, only a junior at Billings Senior High School, earned the championship by crackjjng 98 of his first 100 targets in the 16-yard singles and 90 of 100 in the handicap event. Among his other glories at the registered shoot which was shot in the wind and rain, was the high overall and handicap trophies both won after shoot-offs and high junior in singles. Kautzmann tied Fred Norwood of Sheridan, in the handicap event with 90 of 100 each. Kautzmann won that shootoff.

He tied Ernie Sapp of Billings in the overall standings with 369 of 400 and won that shoot-off too. Kautzmann added the high junior title to his skein with 194 of 200, tying, the score shot by the winner of the 16-yard event. Both Zip Eaton of Helena and Paul Larimer of Billings by foreigners, and the featured mile tun went to Irishman Eamonn Coghlan of Villanova in 4:00.06. I In fact, in a number of events won by Americans, the results were considered upsets over foreigners. In the 220, for example, Tennessee's Reggie Jones beat Southern California's James Gilkes, a native of Guyana, in 20.60 seconds.

One American who showed well was UCLA's Benny Brown, the Bruins' only winner. He took the 440 in 45.34. "I'm running my own race now," said Brown, who has had differences of opinion with UCLA Coach Jim Bush about how the race should be run. Brown said he was "going out relaxed, not pushing the first half of the race and not looking at anybody." He and numerous other athletes will go to Eugene, in two weeks and compete in the National AAU championships. One newcomer who will be there is Utah State half-miler Mark Enyeart.

He won the 880 here in 1:47.01 and remains unbeaten in his nine-race career in the event. The cold weather on the final day of the meet produced a number of surprise winners, including high jumper Warren Shanklin of Northeastern Louisiana at 7-1, Craig Caudill of Indiana in the intermediate hurdles at 50.44, former high jumper Keith Goldie of Long Beach State in the javelin at 250-2, and Larry Shipp of Louisiana State in the high hurdles at 13.91. Southern Cal won the 440-yard relay in 39.09, maintaining the team's hopes of gaining its 26th title in this meet, but then started to fade. Gilkes was beaten by Jones in the 220, Russ Rogers failed to score in the pole vault, Tom Andrews didn't get a point in the intermediate hurdles, the Trojans got just one point in the discus and the mile relay team, one of the favorites, wound up fourth. PROVO, Utah (AP) Ted Banks says he's fighting inflation and winning national track championships in the same manner: using foreign athletes.

Banks' University of Texas at El Paso team got 44 of its 55 points from non-American athletes and won the 54th NCAA track and field championship Saturday as UCLA and Southern California, perrenial powerhouses, suffered setbacks and finished second and third, respectively. Despite rain and cold winds on the final session of the five-day meet, UTEP gained a 10-point first-place victory by James Munyala a Kenyan in the steeplechase and a second place in the triple jump by Arnold Grimes in beating UCLA by 13 points. "I started thinking we had a chance for the team title back when we took the indoor championship," said Banks, a graduate of UCLA and a former San Jose State and Long Beach State coach. "I think the kids that scored for us showed a lot of character in this weather." With 25 foreigners on a 49-man team, Banks was asked about the concept of building a track power with imports. "I've heard a lot about that at this meet buL.it's very inexpensive to recruit foreign athletes.

"I've heard a lot of people criticize this, but colleges are now trying to legislate cutbacks because of inflation. With an American, say he's from the East Coast, you have to fly him out and put him up'in a hotel room for a few days and pay for his meals. That kind of recruiting is expensive. "But with a foreigner, all it costs is a few phone calls and a few letters." UTEP got only two of its points from Larry Jessee in the pole vault. The senior who has cleared 18 feet this year finished fifth as Earl Bell, an Arkansas sophomore, and San Jose State senior Dan Ripley each cleared 18-feet, 1 inch.

Bell won on fewer trusses. About one-quarter of the points scored in the meet were tallied -v rf. wt mm I v.v Californian upsets Tanner In the ninth game of the third set. Tanner was leading 40-15 on his service but Andrews won four straight points for a decisive break. "I'm getting the feel of this slow clay for the first time," Andrews said.

"I thought Tanner was a bit tense." Panatta claimed that his triumph over Nastase, the Romanian who won this title two years ago. was his best performance in two years. 'J needed a success like this, because my confidence had gone the Italian said. Their match teetered on the balance in a tie-breaker in the third set, which Panatta won 86. The Italian missed one easy chance, netting an easy volley.

After that, Nastase went from 2-5 to 6-5 and needed only one point for the set But Panatta forced Nastase into errors and pulled out that set, then took the fourth with ease.

1-6. 6-1. PARIS (AP) John Andrews, a 23-year-old Californian, stunned seventh-seeded Roscoe Tanner 3-6, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 in Sunday's third round of the French International tennis championships. The all-American duel was staged on an outer court of Roland Garros Stadium, and only a handful of spectators saw Tanner's demise at the hands of a player who has been a pro less than a year. "It was my best win ever." said Andrews, who shared the day's upset honors with Adriano Panatta of Italy.

Panatta took apart fourth seeded Hie Nastase 64, 3-6, 7-6, 6-1 before a center-court crowd of 14,000. Andrews and five other United States players joined Panatta, defending champion Bjorn Borg and Jaime Fillol of Chile in the round of 16. Eddie Dibbs of Miami advanced on Saturday and Brian Gottfried of Fort Lauderdale, Stan Smith of Sea Pines. S.C.: Erik van Dillen of Aptos. and Harold Solomon of Silver Spring, won Sunday matches.

At first Tanner's experience gave him the edge over Andrews. In the long rallies on the slow clay surface, his shots were slightly more accurate. But in the third set. the tide began to turn against the tall Tennessean. Andrews, who said he never had played on such slow courts until a month ago, found a groove and was clipping the lines with his forehand, out of reach of Tanner.
