1. If the PGA TOUR allows music on the first tee what song will be used to introduce you? 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? Sheehan: I would allow players to tap down spike marks. Thing about it. From first to last out, the guys who go late are not playing on the same playing field. 3. What was your most embarrassing moment on a golf course? Sheehan: I fell when I was trying to come out of a bunker. I'm pretty sure it happened at Cog Hill in the Western Open. 4. Who would you most like to hit balls next to next year, and why? Sheehan: That's easy. Vijay. You can ask him anything. And if you ask him one question you're liable to be talking to him for two hours. 5. Do you have any oddball superstitions? If not, what's the strangest one you've heard of? Sheehan: I mark my ball with the same kind of coin, a Bicentennial quarter. I have thousands of them. Members at my club save them for me. 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? Sheehan: I'll probably break down and start crying. 7. Other than winning a tournament, what would make next year a success? Sheehan: Playing as well next year as I did this year. 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? Sheehan: Tiger. I'd love to know if he realizes how good he is and if he's secretly laughing at the rest of us. 9. What is your wildest golf dream? Sheehan: I reach the 17th at Sawgrass (the famous par-3 with the island green). I can't figure out what to hit. Then I hit my shot off the tree on the right. It comes down on the ground and I have to play it. 10. What is the most valuable lesson about your profession you learned on the Nationwide Tour? Sheehan: It goes back to my time out here in '01 and '02. You've got to outwork everybody. |
