If that corrects, even partially, the
tiny flaws that have frustrated
Nicklaus this season, he will move
from a place in a list of those likely to
win to a role as solid favorite.
If it doesn't, a clear-cut favorite is
difficult to determine. Tom Watson — . .
a four-time winner this year, collector
of a record $387,000 already this
season — would be a logical choice.
But Watson has had last-round dif-
