Notebook
Venturi's Last Swing
After they finished their final round, several players paid tribute to CBS commentator Ken Venturi, who retired from broadcasting following Sunday's telecast.

Kuehne Makes the Turn

Good Shots, Bad Breaks
Bob Estes won the Kemper Open on Sunday. But Bob Burns and Rich Beem, who almost won, will have the stories to tell. With any sort of reasonable luck, either or both should have been in a playoff with Estes for the $648,000 prize, writes Thomas Boswell.
