1 USA Lucas Glover -14
2 USA Taylor Moore -13
3 ENG Tommy Fleetwood -12
T4 USA Max Homa -11
T4 USA Jordan Spieth -11

Will really be pulling for Lucas again today. He's been through a lot and just worked through it all to get back on top. To think he'd be where he is now as little as 2 months ago wouldn't be believed. Yet here he is.

After last week's win, Lucas' kids rushed to him on the 18th green. His little girl was bawling, and his little boy kept yelling "Daddy! You won!"

Great story. Except for the hunt for a zillion quarters, doing laundry is one of those low stress, quiet, reflective chores. Glover is a champ.

Pulling for Lucas because he seems like a great guy. Also, I bet $5.00 on him to win outright. $405 payout. Go Lucas!

Glover is a great person personally and professionally. I am pulling for the former Clemson Tiger to pull it out, but I am not hopeful. Hil putting looked a little shaky yesterday.

I will also be pulling for Lucas. Even if he does not win today, he is having an amazing period of time in golf after a very long drought. If he makes it into the top 50 FedEx cup, he will be set for at least the next year.

As a golf fan, I’m loving seeing Glover winning and back in contention. Yes he won The US Open in 2008, but since then he has been in the golf wilderness. Now with a new putter he’s back in it again. Gives us old duffers hope. I hope he wins today.

Plus, the married father of two had nothing better to do on a Friday night. “I'm very bored in my hotel room," he said. "Finished my book [a Daniel Silva novel], so I needed something to do.”

And he reads Daniel Silva?! I'm liking him more.

I had an acquaintance a few years ago that bounced on and off the bottom of the qualified PGA Tour players. He lived the dream life of every bachelor. Made ~$600,000 a year. His home had a three car attached garage. The entire floor was covered with bags of golf clubs. He let both my kids go in and pick a bag, including a card for a pro to fit them. Manufacturers want people to see pros playing with their clubs. New sets came his way nearly every week.

Was an interesting glimpse inside the lifestyle.
