MEMPHIS (Tenn.) - Lucas Glover's biggest leap to keep his postseason alive was due to a closing score of 66 at FedEx St. Jude Championship, and a tie for third place to qualify for next week’s BMW Championship.
Glover started the post-season at 121 , st in the PGA Tour's adjusted eligible list. This lists all players who have been suspended from or resigned from their membership to play LIV Golf events. Glover wouldn't have qualified for the postseason if it wasn't for the ongoing division between the Tour of the Saudi-backed league. But now he's heading to the second playoff event.
Glover stated that he had been in a similar situation two years ago. He had one and a quarter good weeks and was able to finish [at the Tour Championship]." "I had that in my head, and I thought, you know... just got to get on to the next week, and then everyone's got a shot."
Adam Scott was also able to make it into the top 70, and next week's event at TPC Southwind with a closing score of 66.
Scott stated, "I played poorly yesterday but somehow shot a decent score. To turn it around and play solidly today and give myself the chance to pass, I'm happy." "I feel that even though I don't win this event, I feel like it's giving me something. So hopefully that's good news for my confidence going into next week. I hope to have a big week so I can get through to East Lake.
