I can't wipe the smile off my face. So happy for Lucas. He is so good, yet casual golf fans didn't even know his name until 2 weeks ago. Again - he is so good.

However, the wayward swings would catch up to him in the form of a water ball on the par-3 14th. With Cantlay up ahead adding a birdie on 15, Glover did well to only lose two strokes to his foe when he rolled in a bogey putt from outside 20 feet. THERE'S a pressure bogey...

I thought Cantlay’s putt on the playoff hole was going in for sure - it really looked good.

It wasn’t scorching heat in Memphis today.

Watched it today, and you’re right. Didn’t know who he was, though I love watching golf, only sport I give a hoot about.
Terrific playoffs, such amazing talent.

He is so good Back when Glover won his Open, I seem to recall Johnny Miller saying he was the best driver he had ever seen.

Very pleasant tournament to watch. Lucas Glover seemed very down-to-Earth and steady; I was happy to see him win. He definitely made a good impression on me (and I’m sure many other more casual fans). I knew his name, but very little else about him & I had missed the previous tournament.
I also enjoyed the banter between the various announcers with all the donations/pledges being made to St. Jude and Maui. Not really having followed the Fed-Ex Cup before, it is quite an interesting format.

It wasn’t scorching heat in Memphis today.The TV announcer said it was 94 with a heat index of 103, because of the high humidity.
What do you consider a scorcher?

He deserved it, played great and he didn’t choke when it got close.
