Who Won

>> India: the Davis Cup interzone finals, beating Brazil, 3-2, at Calcutta's South Club. After beating the U.S. last month, Brazil's Edison Mandarine, 25, and Thomaz Koch, 21, might have expected to wipe up the court with the Indians. That expectation reckoned without Ramanathan Krishnan, 29. Krishnan won one singles match from Mandarine, teamed with Jaideep Mukherjea to take the doubles, and wrapped it up in a marathon match against Koch 3-6, 6-4, 10-12, 7-5, 6-2. That gives India the honor of challenging Australia on Dec. 26--and then returning home to wait for next year.

>> Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus: the $50,000 first prize in the $277,500 P.G.A. National Team competition, at the P.G.A. National Golf Club; in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. Proving once again that them what has gits, golf's two richest competitors shot a best-ball score of 258 for 72 holes--32-under-par, with 34 birdies, only two bogeys. Palmer's half of the loot brought his year's total earnings to $154,692; Nicklaus' half brought his to $140,635.
