Lucas Glover captures 1st PGA victory at Funai
Way back in June, I saw Lucas Glover play for the first time at the Memorial. Here’s what I said then: “Yesterday, I got to see a bunch of people. One foursome had 4 young “unknown” players. One of them stood out to me. It was this guy who had a Southern accent and who clearly knew the course b/c he was telling his playing partners where to hit it. And the guy drove the ball a mile, with a swing that had a slight out-to-in, 2 plane track. Well, I looked on his bag: and it was Lucas Glover. Apparently, he’s 11th in Driving Distance on tour.”
Well, today, Glover finally won his first PGA event, at -23 at Funai. Glover went birdie-birdie on the final two holes, sinking a 40-footer from the fringe and then holing a 35 yard bunker shot on the final hole, 495 par 4. Way to go, Lucas.
