Duffy Waldorf

Duffy Waldorf could be nearly a hundred times better in the Greater Greensboro Open this year than last. Waldorf, whose third-round 81 in 1990 led to a final score of 300 and a check for $2,562, tied the Forest Oaks Country Club record Saturday with a nine-under-par 63 and shares the lead with Bob Wolcott after three rounds. Waldorf, a former UCLA standout, has a 12-under-par 204 total and an eye on the $225,000 first prize, a vast change from last year's take-home pay.

Sam Randolph survived a traffic jam that almost caused him to miss his starting time and shot a one-under-par 69 Wednesday to take medal honors at the U.S. Amateur golf tournament with a record-tying 36-hole total of 134. Randolph, of Santa Barbara and USC, finished the two rounds at Montclair Golf Club at six under par. He was three strokes ahead of Walker Cup teammate Duffy Waldorf of Tarzana and UCLA.

Ed Cuff Jr. shot an even-par 71, and Duffy Waldorf scratched out a 73 to share the lead after second-round play Wednesday in the 19th annual Pacific Coast Amateur Golf Tournament at the Los Angeles Country Club. Both had 141 totals midway through the 72-hole tournament, which continues today and finishes Friday. Cuff, of La Mesa, had a first-round score of 70 on the 6,895-yard, par-71 North Course while Waldorf, of Tarzana, had a 68 to lead after Tuesday's first round.

Defending champion Duffy Waldorf of Tarzana was eliminated from the Broadmoor Men's Invitational Golf Tournament on Friday when he lost to Tracy Nakazaki, 2-and-1, in a quarterfinal match.
