A Roundup Of The Week May 29-june 4

BOXING—Argentina's CARLOS MONZON retained his world middleweight crown with a 15-round unanimous decision over Emile Griffith, in Monte Carlo. It was Griffith's second fruitless attempt to regain the crown he held twice before.

GOLF—KATHY CORNELIUS won the richest first prize in the history of the LPGA, defeating Judy Rankin on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff in the $100,000 Sealy-Faberg� Open in Las Vegas (page 84).

Tom Weiskopf won his second tournament in three tries, beating Lanny Wadkins by three strokes in the $200,000 Kemper Open in Charlotte, N.C. Weiskopf capitalized on the absence of JACK NICKLAUS, who beat him by two strokes in the Atlanta Classic the week before. The $30,000 first prize had put Nicklaus in the top money-winner's spot with $176,064. Weiskopf, with $87,100 in four weeks, is now fourth.
