Glover was scheduled for 8:26am local time but was still in his hotel room when he needed to tee off. Officials called Glover to tell him that he had one minute to make it to the tee, and it was then and only then that the 44-year-old realised his costly mistake.
Woods hasn’t played competitively since withdrawing during the third round of the Masters in April. Days later, he underwent subtalar fusion surgery on his ankle.
British Open champion Brian Harman was able to put a more compelling—and colourful—spin on Lucas Glover’s resurgence by paraphrasing a line from the film, “The Shawshank Redemption.”
The win was the sixth of Glover’s career and continued an amazing run for the 43-year-old, who in June wasn’t even in the running to keep his PGA Tour card.
