It seems retirement onto the Champions Tour is agreeing with Mr. Riegger. Nice showing at the Senior Open. T14 in 3M that included a 1st round 66 despite a double bogey thrown in. No rocking chair, geritol or medicare needed.
Right you are, IH82BOGEY. And the past is only prologue.
The Champions Tour makes room for only a very few.
Fewer still for those without Major Championship records.
All others must compete for the coveted FIVE Fully-Exempt spots. And also the less-than-sainted 25 others who are allowed to Monday qualify.
John Riegger is one of those "fewer still." But . . . by virtue of his birdie on the third hole of the Q-School sudden-death playoff, John earned fully-exempt status for 2013. Too bad his season started late: he turned fifty in June.
No matter. He's swinging good—he's longer and straighter than he was on TOUR for 20 years—and he's putting well. (I know the "longer and straighter" is hard to believe, but it's true.)
Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world it's turning inside out Yeah!
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time.
Don't stop me now

I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call.
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm having a good time)
I don't wanna stop at all.
