Hot Start In Tucson
John Riegger is off to a red-hot start at the Chrysler Classic of Tucson:
Birdie!
Birdie!
Birdie!
He holed from the front bunker on #1. Was over the green in two on the Par 5 second and then chipped to 4 inches. Then made it from 6 feet on #3.
Go low, John!
P.S. Gotta love this new TourCast product on the PGA TOUR website!

The Energizer Riegger
John is continuing his torrid pace. Missed a short birdie putt on #4 (9' 8") but then made two more birds on #5 (from 11 feet on the 202 yard par 3) and #7 (from 12 feet). Missed a 14-footer for birdie on #8 and is now -5 for the tournament and in 5th place (includes early finishers). He just put it 14' 6" from the hole from 175 yards on #9. The man's hittin' it close and makin' a few putts. That's how they get it done on the PGA TOUR!

Riegger's Rumble
John just rolled in an 18-footer on #11. He's -6 for the day and T-2! He's now 26 feet from the hole on the par 3 12th, ranked as the 5th hardest hole on the course.

Roll John!
Par. Par. Par.
Now John's got it 81 yards from the hole on the 610-yard 15th. Needs to pick up another birdie and break this four way log-jam at -6. The other three guys are done (Waldorf, Kelly and former champ Hjertstedt).
Whoa! Looks like it's going to happen. He's just stiffed it to 2' 4"!
Waiting...
Still waiting...
YES!
7-UNDER!

One Dropped
Rats.
First bogey of the day.
John was in the fringe 36 feet from the hole in regulation. But he left it short (6' 9") and couldn't get the next one down. Back to -6 with two to play.
Next up is the 186-yard par three 17th. Largest green on the course. Can play up to four clubs difference front-to-back. Fourth toughest hole.
Here we go...
John just hit it 194 yards right over the top of the flag to 25' 9".
He called me during the PGA Show last month while I was talking with V.J. Trolio in his Putting Arc booth. He asked me to send him a Putting Arc, so I did, and he's been working with it this past week. Says it's helping. With today's average of 1.538 Putts per GIR and 8 one-putts overall, it sure looks like it!

In At Six-Under
Routine two-putt at 17.
He's hit it 282 yards down the middle on the 18th. And just now, from 186 yards, he's hit it 12 feet. Roll that sucker in, John!
