Lucas Glover

Lucas Hendley Glover (born November 12, 1979) is an American professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour.

[3] This led to a loss of parental rights after the matter went to court in 1992; Musselman also was barred from seeing Lucas (then 13) until he turned 18.

[3] Lucas' grandfather Dick Hendley introduced Glover to golf at age three,[3] and by the time he was a teenager Lucas Glover was a three-time High School All-American at Wade Hampton High School.

He won the South Carolina State High School championship as a freshman and sophomore and finished as the runner up as a junior and senior.

Glover attended Clemson University from 1998 to 2001, where he was a brother of Alpha Tau Omega.

He picked up his first Nationwide Tour win at the Gila River Classic at Wild Horse Pass Resort.

Glover's high finish on the money list earned him his PGA Tour card for 2004.

He picked up his first PGA Tour victory at the FUNAI Classic at the Walt Disney World Resort in dramatic fashion by holing a 35-yard bunker shot on the 18th hole for birdie to avoid a playoff with Tom Pernice Jr. Glover went on to finish 30th on the money list with earnings of $2,050,068.

Glover won the U.S. Open at the Bethpage Black Course (Farmingdale, New York) by two strokes over Phil Mickelson, Ricky Barnes, and David Duval.

He hit his approach shot to within 6 feet of the hole and made the putt to take a lead he would not relinquish.

Glover would be honored for his U.S. Open win at a Clemson Alumni Association meeting in Greenville at Fluor Field the following month.

He was the first Clemson graduate and the first native South Carolinian to win a major professional golf championship.

The event featured the four major winners of 2009, Glover, Ángel Cabrera, Stewart Cink and Y. E. Yang.

On May 8, 2011, Glover defeated Jonathan Byrd, another former Clemson star, in a playoff to win the Wells Fargo Championship.

He did not lose his Tour card due to the fact that he had two years remaining on the exemption from his U.S. Open win.

Glover started the 2018–19 PGA Tour Season with a T17 at the Safeway Open and T14 at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

This led to a drastic improvement in results for Glover, including three consecutive top-10 finishes in July.

The win secured Glover a place in the season ending FedExCup Playoffs.

[10] One week later, Glover won the FedEx St. Jude Championship in a playoff over Patrick Cantlay.

[11] Glover has lived in St. Simons Island, Georgia,[12] Simpsonville, South Carolina,[13] and Tequesta, Florida.

[15] Several months after the incident was over, Glover made a public statement that his wife is not on probation nor will she have to proceed with substance abuse or mental health evaluation.
