Nationwide Tour Graduate Q&A: John Reigger  • Nationwide Tour Graduate Q&A archive Editor's Note: John Reigger's win in the LaSalle Bank Open all but sealed a return trip to the PGA TOUR. The 44-year-old finished the year with 17 cuts made in only 22 starts. Reigger sat down recently with PGATOUR.com's Dave Lagarde for a game of 10 questions. 1. If the PGA TOUR allows music on the first tee what song will be used to introduce you? Reigger: Hell's Bells by AC/DC. 
2. You have the power to alter any rule in the game of golf. What is it and why do you want to change it? Reigger: You should be able to drop from a divot as long as you're in the proper fairway. Why should one player be penalized for an outside agency on the golf course? 3. What was your most embarrassing moment on a golf course? Reigger: Playing the PGA TOUR event in Memphis one year. I had to take my pants off to play a shot out of a hazard. 4. Who would you most like to hit balls next to next year, and why? Reigger: Basically, I've already hit balls by just about every one out there. 5. Do you have any oddball superstitions? If not, what's the strangest one you've heard of? Reigger: I always carry two quarters from the year 1965. I figure 65 is a pretty good number. 6. When your putt rolls in to win your first PGA TOUR title, will you go with the Tiger fist pump, the Mickelson mini-vertical jump or something a little crazier? Reigger: After all this time, I'll just smile. 7. Other than winning a tournament, what would make next year a success? Reigger: Making the Ryder Cup team. I've always wanted to play for my country. 8. You've been granted a 60-minute sit-down with any figure in the world of golf, living or dead. What's your first question and to whom would you address it? Reigger: I'd want to talk to Ben Hogan. He basically wrote the book, in my opinion. I'd want to know his real secrets about how he went about the game and the entire process. 9. What is your wildest golf dream? Reigger: I already had it when I qualified for the PGA TOUR in 1986 and started playing in 1987. 10. What is the most valuable lesson about your profession you learned on the Nationwide Tour? Reigger: That I don't want to come back. |
