Robert Gamez, 54, arrested inside Bay Hill on misdemeanor battery charge

Robert Gamez famously won the 1990 Nestle Invitational at Bay Hill Club and Lodge when he holed a 7-iron on the final hole to beat Greg Norman. More than three decades later, the 54-year-old Gamez, an Orlando, Florida, resident, was arrested inside the Bay Hill neighborhood on a misdemeanor battery charge.

Gamez, a three-time PGA Tour winner, was booked into the Orange County Jail, and later released, after police say he inappropriately touched an unidentified female victim, which then led to a physical altercation with another male. Golfweek first reported the news and details of the arrest.
