...exile, Pérez Jiménez lived in style. He bought a $400,000 Miami Beach mansion with swimming pool, cabanas and royal palms. He did a bit of loafing, broke out his bow and arrow for archery practice, gave a few parties, junketed off to Manhattan.

Husky (6 ft. 2 in.. 195 Ibs.) and handsome, Nichols can slam a drive as far as Nicklaus, though not with the same arrow accuracy: he once won a driving contest with measured drives of 347, 352 and 367 yds. So far this year, Nichols has earned $26.475, won two tournaments-including a play-off victory over Nicklaus in the Houston Classic. In the Open, he tied Rodgers for third...
