American professional golfer Lucas Glover has been involved in the sport for the better part of the last two decades and his passion for golf hasn’t waned for even a second.
Glover was so impressive in his rookie days that he recorded two top-10 finishes and five top-25 finishes as he coasted to a 67th place finish on the money list.
Despite not being good enough to earn a tour card when he first went to the PGA Tour qualifying school, he rose above failure to earn his PGA tour card in 2004 after chalking his first Nationwide Tour win during the Gila River Classic at Wild Horse Pass Resort.
Glover hasn’t looked back since and, despite a brief slump in 2008, he returned strongly a year later to clinch the US Open title at the Bethpage Black Course.
Wikipedia, Biography, age & birthday
Lucas Glover was born on November 12, 1979, in Greenville, South Carolina in the United States (US). He is 42 years old. He comes from a family of sports personalities, as his father is a former major-league baseball player and his mother is also the daughter of a former pro football star.
The golfer had a difficult childhood, especially after his parents divorced. At a point, he had more than six months without seeing his father, who deferred child support payments.
His father ultimately lost custody of a young Glover and was only able to see him again when he turned 18. His surname “Glover” was inherited from his stepfather, Jim Glover, who the golfer now recognises as his real dad.
But all these did not stop Glover from excelling at the sport. He won several tournaments while in school, including three college tournaments and was a three-time High School All-American at Wade Hampton High School.
Glover turned professional in 2001 and joined the Nationwide Tour a year later before becoming a regular fixture in the PGA tour for the next two decades.
