- <p> Golf's newest rising star is a college dropout who dislikes
- exercise. After being named the game's top N.C.A.A. player,
- Robert Gamez, 21, left the University of Arizona last year
- figuring "there wasn't anything else to accomplish" as an
- amateur. So he began all over again as a pro--and triumphed
- in his first tournament as a member of the P.G.A. tour. So far
- this year the Las Vegas rookie has earned $354,905, and he is
- practicing his swing for this week's peerless Masters in
- Augusta, Ga. The easygoing Gamez stays in training by sticking
- to the fairways. Says he: "I just don't feel like working out.
- I never have."
