I knew this guy was special when I saw him pounding drives off the fence at Riviera, all hitting the exact same spot on the fence... called him in fantasy golf at the US Open, and picking him for a big comeback here in the PGA (he's in the rough behind the bunker at number 9, losing by three) - go Lucas!

Throughout this past weekend, fans were mesmerized by the golf being played at the U. S. Open in New York. Lucas Glover, comes out of nowhere and wins the U.S. Open.  Lucas Glover toiled in obscurity in professional golf over the last few years, though he registered numerous top 10 finishes and won a few majors. But this year's 2009 U.S. Open Scoreboard featured him 2 strokes above bigger names, such as Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods winning Lucas some fast cash prize money at Bethpage Black. Golf has picked up popularity over the last few years, and more ardent followers treat the U.S. Open religiously.  At any rate, Lucas Glover has his moment in the sun and no need for a cash advance for some time.
