HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., – Lucas Glover secured a thrilling victory at the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Sunday in a sudden death playoff, winning back-to-back weeks for the first time in his career. He won using 11 Srixon/Cleveland Golf products in his bag and plays the Srixon Z-STAR XV ball.
Glover’s triumph at TPC Southwind was highlighted by his consistency, ranking tied for first in strokes gained total and first in scrambling. He accomplished the same feat the previous week, showcasing his steady play throughout the summer and this two-week stretch. Reflecting on his win, Glover expressed his gratitude.
“You work hard no matter what, whether you’re fighting something or you’re playing great, you work hard,” said Glover. “You never know when it can turn, and it’s turned very quickly for me and luckily I’ve been in a good frame of mind to take advantage of it.”
Notably, Glover has been the best ball-striker on tour this season. Using a combination of Srixon ZX5/ZX7 Mk II Irons and Cleveland Golf RTX6 ZipCore Wedges, he ranks first in proximity to the hole with an average of 32 feet. He also ranks second this season in approaches from greater than 100 yards.
With this victory, Glover now has five top-10 finishes this season, propelling him to the fourth position in the FedEx Cup rankings as the tour heads into the second round of the playoffs.
