Robert Garrigus finished tied for third in this month’s U.S. Open. But in the early 2000s, he was getting high and playing for pennies on the Nationwide Tour.
"Oh yeah, there were plenty of guys on the Nationwide Tour who smoked in the middle of the round," Garrigus told Golf Digest in a profile this week. "We always talked about it. You could go in the Porta John and take your drags.”
Garrigus was talking about 2002, six years before the tour instituted drug testing.
In the interview, he also rejected the “I’m better when I’m high” argument.
"I had a very high tolerance, and I didn't know that it wasn't helping me. All you're thinking is that it feels good, so it must be good for what you're doing. It wasn't until I quit that I realized how stupid it was. But I don't regret any of it because it put me on the path I'm on now."
Obviously he regretted it enough to go to rehab and turn his life around after smoking pot up to 20 times a day. But that's besides the point.
Garrigus is now one of the longest drivers on the PGA Tour, and will play in the Masters for the first time next year.
