Sometimes, a player shoots 66 and you read about the miles of putts he needed to make it happen. Not so in John Riegger's round today. Instead, it was 'business as usual' for this fine Ball striker. He's been hitting the Ball great lately but getting nothing out of it. Well, today he got something out of it. And that 'something' -- a 6-under par first round and a tie for 2nd in a 144-man field -- was exactly what he deserved.

Take a look at today's very impressive stats:

Driving Distance: 289.7 yards.

Longest drive: 301 yards.

Driving Accuracy: 85.7 percent.

In other words, LONG and STRAIGHT, with a Total Driving stat that ranks today's performance in the 93rd percentile.
