Lucas Glover in conversation for U.S. Ryder Cup team but his qualifications are rare

“I think I’ve never made it and I want to,” Glover said of the upcoming Ryder Cup.

Lucas Glover has won back-to-back PGA Tour events, with his latest win Sunday coming against a strong 70-man field at the FedEx St. Jude Championship to open the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

As with any golfer that gets hot in the weeks leading up to an international competition, questions are swirling about his eligibility and possible inclusion on the American team.

He was asked Sunday about it while basking in the glow of his sixth PGA Tour win. “Has the Ryder Cup gotten on your mind at all?” he was asked.

“About 15 minutes ago,” he replied. “What do you think?” came the follow up.

“I think I’ve never made it and I want to,” he said.

Glover won the 2009 U.S. Open and parlayed that into a spot on the 2009 Presidents Cup team but he did not keep the momentum going for the 2010 Ryder Cup.

Glover making the 2023 squad is within reason. He moved up 19 spots to No. 16 when the standings for the U.S. team were released Monday. Only the top six earn automatic spots, but you have to think Zach Johnson is considering him for one of his six captain’s picks.

Nonetheless, Glover on the roster, based on what he’s done during the season, would be a rare feat.

Glover is the first golfer in his 40s to go back-to-back in 15 years (Vijay Singh). He has more wins in his 40s than he did in his 20s. He’s the first golfer in more than a year to win consecutive tournaments (Tony Finau).

Next up: three in a row. Dustin Johnson in 2017 was the last to win three consecutive starts. Tiger Woods in 2006 was the last to win three consecutive tournaments.

The 43-year-old claimed last week’s Wyndham Championship and followed suit with another victory this week at the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis. Glover beat Patrick Cantlay in a playoff for the sixth win of his career on Tour and took home the top prize of $3.6 million.

For his efforts, Cantlay will leave with $2.16 million while Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, who finished T-3 at 14 under, will each take home $1.16 million.

Lucas Glover goes back-to-back with playoff win at 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship

Glover won after Cantlay found the water off the tee on the first playoff hole at TPC Southwind.

[anyclip pubname=”2122″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8171″]

Lucas Glover fended off a strong group of pursuers to win the FedEx St. Championship on a one-hole playoff Sunday.

But barely. Tied with Patrick Cantlay after 72 holes, the 43-year-old Glover drilled an 8-foot par putt. Cantlay, whose tee shot landed in the water, narrowly missed a 20-foot, 3-inch putt for par that would have forced a second playoff hole. Instead, Glover becomes the first 54-hole leader over 40 years old to win a FedEx Cup Playoff event since Tiger Woods in 2018.

Glover (69), a native of Greenville, South Carolina, and a former Clemson star, and Cantlay (64) finished regulation at 15 under-par 265. Rory McIlroy (65) and Tommy Fleetwod (68) were one back.

The win keeps Glover’s scalding streak going and is projected to vault him from No. 49 in the FedEx Cup Playoff standings into the top five. Glover, who won the Wyndham Championship last week, has five top-six finishes in the last six weeks.

With the heat index hovering around 100 degrees late Sunday and the pressure mounting, Glover soaked his hands in coolers full of ice water before teeing off on No. 17 and No. 18. His would-be tournament-winning birdie putt on the 18th came up one foot short. His tap-in for par set up the third straight PGA Tour event in Memphis to go to a playoff.

Glover entered the final round of the tournament at TPC Southwind at 14 under, with 10 golfers within five strokes of his lead. The closest competitor, Taylor Moore, trailed by only by one stroke.

Moore trailed off early carding four bogeys (to just one birdie) on the front nine, finishing with a 71. Cantlay, McIlroy and Fleetwood made hard charges Sunday, which was interrupted by a 94-minute weather delay shortly after noon.

Glover helped Cantlay’s cause by flirting with disaster. He hit into the intermediate rough off the tee on No. 13, then subsequently found the primary rough with his second shot. He rebounded by sinking a 20.5-foot putt to save par. Glover coughed up the lead on No. 14, when he hit into the water off the tee. He saved bogey with a 29-foot, 8-inch putt, but Cantlay’s back-to-back birdies on 15 and 16 gave him a temporary advantage.

“It was just keep playing. Keep fighting,” Glover said during an interview on CBS following the tournament. “Stay close, get close. And I was fortunate to get in a playoff. I said yesterday the guns would be coming, and they came. I was just the last man standing this week.”

By the time Cantlay finished his round, he and Glover were tied. Cantlay spent a few minutes in the clubhouse before heading out to the driving range to await the conclusion of the round. Shortly before 7 p.m., Cantlay’s tee shot bounced several times before landing in the water. Glover followed with a 288-yard drive that landed in the middle of the fairway. His approach shot left him with a 22-foot, 2-inch putt.

After 36 holes of the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Tennessee, Lucas Glover — winner of last week’s Wyndham Championship — is alone atop the leaderboard at 10 under after a second-round 6-under 64 Friday.

Glover, on top of trying to get to East Lake for the Tour Championship, is hoping this late-season run will earn him a spot on the United States Ryder Cup team.

Jordan Spieth is alone in second at 9 under, while Sungjae Im, Tommy Fleetwood and Tom Kim are part of a five-way tie for third at 8 under at a scorching TPC Southwind golf course.

There was also movement in the projected standings, with two golfers moving up into the top 50, the cutoff to advance to next week’s BMW Championship.

FedEx Cup Playoffs projected standings: Cam Davis, Thomas Detry into top 50

Getting into the top 30 for the Tour Championship is the goal but more pressing is making the top 50 for the BMW.

Friday turned out to be a big day for a couple of golfers eyeing the Tour Championship.

Only the top 30 make the season-ending field at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta and Lucas Glover was 49th before the second round of the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis. But thanks to his Friday 64, which got him to 10 under and into the outright lead at TPC Southwind, Glover rocketed up to third in the FedEx Cup Playoffs projected standings.

Jordan Spieth was also a big mover Friday, shooting a 68 to take over solo second, a shot back of Glover. That moved him from 31st, a spot outside of Atlanta, to sixth.

Other big movers up the projections: Sungjae Im went from 32nd to 18th and Lee Hodges from 35th to 30th.

Also worth noting: the change at the top, as Scottie Scheffler is now No. 1, replacing Jon Rahm atop the standings. And with Glover up to third, Rory McIlroy is bumped back to fourth, while Max Homa is also down one to fifth.

More pressing, however, is making the top 50 for next week’s BMW Championship. Here’s a look at two golfers who improved their standing, as well as the two who moved the wrong way in the points race.

Sizzling Lucas Glover, ‘strokes stolen’ among 5 things to know at FedEx St. Jude

Lucas Glover was asked to describe the weather Friday in Memphis. “I didn’t get this wet in the shower.”

Lucas Glover was asked to describe the weather on a hot, humid Friday afternoon in Memphis.

“I didn’t get this wet in the shower this morning,” he said.

About the only thing hotter than Memphis in August is Glover’s game of late. The 43-year-old five-time PGA Tour winner fired a 6-under 64 at TPC Southwind in the second round and grabbed the 36-hole lead at 10-under 130. He also improved to 30 under in his last six rounds while making just five bogeys during that span and shot his 20th consecutive round of par or better on Tour.

Glover won the Wyndham Championship on Sunday to vault from No. 112 in the FedEx Cup point standings to 49th and make the playoffs. After going low again and with the points awarded to the winner this week bumped up from 500 to 2,000, he’s projected to jump to third.

On Friday, Glover hit 14 greens, leads the field through two rounds in Strokes Gained: Approach and gained almost six shots on the field with his ball striking.

 “It’s just kind of a carryover from the last few weeks. Just trying not to overcomplicate things and just make good, positive swings and stay aggressive. It’s one of those where you just want to keep playing. You’re playing well, keep going,” said the 19-year veteran. “I’m old enough to know it can change the other way in a hurry, too, so kind of ride the wave and just don’t over think it, keep going, and play until it runs out and then figure it out after that.”

Despite feeling that the greens were a little slower than the practice green and taking a few holes to adjust, Glover made over 100 feet of putts in the second round.

Glover has credited Jason Kuhn, a former baseball pitcher who dealt with the yips and a Navy Seal, with helping him overcome his decade-long battle with the putting yips. In May, Glover’s longtime agent Mac Barnhardt, connected the two. Kuhn had helped Atlanta Braves pitcher Tyler Matzek overcome his own issues with the yips. Also contributing to his putting revival: Glover, the 2009 U.S. Open, switched to a long putter and a split-handed grip that he says has re-wired his brain.

“Confidence is high,” Glover said. “Putting seems to be an asset instead of a weakness.”

Here are four more things to know about the second round of the 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Spieth dazzles, Tom Kim’s fashion statement and more from FedEx St. Jude Championship

Catch up on Thursday’s action here.

Jordan Spieth’s first tournament round as a 30-year-old was a vintage performance.

Spieth’s irons were dialed in, his putter was hot and he used his trademark imagination when needed, including drawing up a beauty in his mind at the par-5 16th en route to a chip-in eagle. It all added up to a stellar bogey-free 7-under 63 at TPC Southwind in Memphis on Thursday, his lowest first-round score of his season and a one-stroke lead over Tom Kim at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

The 30-year-old Texan, who entered the kickoff of the PGA Tour’s three-tournament FedEx Cup Playoffs in 31st place, missed reaching the 16th green in two shots.

“Right of that green is normally dead,” he said.

Not for short-game wizard like Spieth. From 43 feet away from the hole, Spieth closed his stance and the face of his 60-degree wedge and one-hopped a pitch into a ridge that jumped on to the green and rolled right into the hole for eagle to improve to 7 under for the day.

“I hit that shot three or four times to that pin on Tuesday,” he said. “I looked to see if it was right on line, and then as it was kind of moving in, it was cool…it’s a cool feeling.”

Spieth notched six top 10s, including losing a playoff at the RBC Heritage, but was winless during the regular season. On Thursday, Spieth made birdie on three of his first five holes, tacked on another at 11 and before his eagle heroics added another birdie at 15.

Heavy overnight rain delayed the start of play and forced the use of preferred lies in the opening round. Soft conditions made the course gettable and Spieth took advantage by hitting 15 of 18 greens. His putter took care of the rest.

“This is the best I’ve seen him putt in some time,” analyst Colt Knost said on Golf Channel.

Spieth noted that he had been working on his putting, which held him back at the British Open last month, early in the morning before the Dallas heat became unbearable. Spieth sank a couple of clutch par putts at Nos. 12 and 17 to keep his card clean.

“They feel better than the birdie putts,” he said. “They really do.”

The opening round of the 2023 FedEx Cup Playoffs is in the books and several top players find themselves at or near the top of the leaderboard.

Thanks to an opening-round 7-under 63, Jordan Spieth holds the 18-hole lead at the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.

Spieth kept the bogeys off the card and chipped in for an eagle at the par-5 16th late in his round. The Texan is winless on the season and entered the week on the outside looking in for the Tour Championship at East Lake. He would vault to No. 4 on the points list with a victory.

Collin Morikawa pledges $1,000 for every birdie to help fire victims in Hawaii

Everything you need to know for the second round at TPC Southwind.

[anyclip pubname=”2122″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8171″]

MEMPHIS — Collin Morikawa, whose paternal grandparents are from Hawaii, made a pledge as the FedEx St. Jude Championship got started Thursday at TPC Southwind in Memphis.

Morikawa, a two-time major winner, announced on his Instagram page that he will donate $1,000 for each of his birdies in the tournament to support the rescue efforts in Maui as wildfires devastate the island.

Thousands of residents and tourists are being forced to evacuate as the deadly flames tear through the western portion of the island, in particular. Officials said Thursday morning that at least 36 people have died, and much of the island is without power.

“Maui has always held a special place in my heart — my grandfather owned a restaurant called The Morikawa Restaurant, on Front Street in Lahaina,” Morikawa wrote in an Instagram post. “Lahaina and additional areas of Maui and the Big Island are currently being decimated by wildfires. Homes have been destroyed, families displaced and it’s far from over.”
