Lucas Glover is on a roll. The 46-year-old is leading a second straight PGA Tour event after 36 holes. A week ago, he parlayed that into a tie for third at the John Deere Classic. This week at the opposite-field ISCO Championship, Glover is aiming higher.
He started his week at the Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Kentucky, with a sizzling 63. That had him tied with three others. Friday, he kept the pace, posting a 64 to get to 13 under and take a two-shot clubhouse lead with the afternoon wave still looking to finish their second rounds. The morning started with a one-hour weather delay.
Glover was asked if he watches the scoreboard, but he also knows the name of the game at events like the ISCO: go low.
"Weeks like this week and last week, great example, basically all of them in the summer when it's pretty soft you've got to be pretty low to compete. You can look, but it doesn't matter, you've got to make birdies. There's not any hanging on. Guys are going to make birdies with summer conditions, just the way it is," he said. "So yeah, I'm looking, but it's not for anything other than just seeing how my buddies are playing if I have any anymore, I don't know. They're mostly retired now that I think about it. Yeah, I mean, I know what's going on, but it doesn't change the mindset. It's pedal down because you've got to be low 20s every week all summer."
Glover was paired with fan favorite Max Homa and defending champ William Mouw the first days.
"Max was grinding, he had a couple of mishaps there on the front but bounced right back, made a couple birdies on 7 and 8. William played great. It's always good for momentum when you're seeing good shots and seeing other people make putts," Glover said. "If you're down, it can kind of drag you up and drag you along. If you're up, it can kind of keep you going. Yeah, we had a good group. We had good fun and looks like we're all going to be around on the weekend."
Mouw shot 63 and is tied for sixth. Homa posted a 70 and sits T43. It was a group that attracted some eyeballs.
"I was impressed yesterday and today. Super hot and sticky today and the weather today, they're coming out and supporting the tournament, I think it's great. Obviously, a lot of the membership here is out and watching and tons of kids. It's very cool, they're doing a heck of a job."
