Lucas Glover Quotations

I did have a little sand flying, but I looked up and saw the first bounce, ... I thought that could be close. Then you can tell by the crowd; you can hear them kind of gasp. So I saw it go in. I just didn't know what to do, didn't know what to think. I looked at my caddie and he said, 'Hey, good shot.' I've been four feet off the ground ever since.

For me, the full swing is easier to fix than my putting or my pitching or chipping. So today was a big positive for me.

Just the experience is going to be great, just being there and walking around.

I think Tiger even said it - if you're playing well, you don't mind where you're playing.

Just getting there is a comfort because I feel like I'm kind of a closer.

That bunker shot went in and I've been four feet off the ground ever since,

My short game kept me in it. I had to make a bunch of 6- and 8-footers or I'd have shot 80.

I was trying to get it close and hope for the best, ... And then the stinker went in.

I was trying to make par. For it to happen that way, it's going to be, well, lucky shot. Everybody can say that because it's true. But when it's your time, it's your time.

I tee off when the gates open, so nobody (will be there). It should be good.

You can't be disappointed with a 65 around here. This is a major type course you know everyone is going to have some foul ups.

At that time that one was, because it got me to here. But for the next few years, this one will be.

There's so many great players over here, it's hard to succeed. You've got to get in line. That's why you don't see many guys out of college. It's hard to get out there. There's a couple hundred guys just as good as you.

I've put a premium on hitting fairways. I've been backing down to a 3-iron or even my rescue club if I needed it in the fairway and wasn't real confident with a 3-wood or driver. A 5-under around here two days in a row are great days. The consistency and the fact I have played solid is definitely a positive.

A couple of veterans told me a long time ago, 'When you win, you're not going to expect it. You're not going to be playing your best, you're not going to be doing this right, doing that right. Boom, it's going to hit you in the face.' And that's what happened.

It was feast or famine. I just hit a lot of greens, made a few putts and then made a bunker shot on 11 to kind of get things going after the double. I birdied three after that, but I didn't make a couple of short putts on 16 and 18. However, you can't be disappointed with 65 around here.

It's a different kind of preparation. Because you know how hard it's going to be and how difficult the hole locations are going to be.

For it to happen that way, it was a lucky shot and everyone can say that because it's true. When it's your time, it's your time.

It looks pretty boring, but it was as exciting an even par as there's ever been for me. If I had not made a bunch of 6- and 8-footers, I'd have shot 80. I got up and down from shoe boxes on a couple holes.

It's fine with me, as long as I was on the sheet.

That's the biggest sporting event for me, the most passionate, one thing on TV I still have time to watch. Playing for your country, that would be the best experience for me.

It looked pretty boring, but it was as exciting a 72 as I've ever seen.

It wasn't a bunker shot you say, 'Hey, let's make this one,'

It wasn't a bunker shot I walked up to and said, 'Hey, let's make this one,' ... It was one of those, 'Let's get it close and get out of here.' It was my time. That's all there is to it.

Nothing wrong with 20 under winning. Might actually be a change for the fans, instead of having a U.S. Open every week.

I'm just thinking about winning again. That's what I want first and foremost.

I had that stretch in the spring where everything was going right but then in the summer my swing got out of whack and confidence in my putter went away. It has been that kind of year. If I make the cut then I have played well on Saturday and Sunday. Just getting there is a comfort because I feel like I'm kind of a closer.

I had a couple of chances late and didn't make the putts, but you can't be disappointed with 65 around here.

If you're playing well, you like any course, that's the truth. If you come in with command over the ball and putt well, you can play anywhere. But as far as on paper, it suits my game well.

If you could have it both ways, you'd want dry fairways and soft greens. But it's set up like a major. It's supposed to test every part of your game.

If I knew why that was, I'd fix it,

I decided to be an idiot and go at the left side of the green and try to hit it close. I hit it in the water. That was a good break that kind of hurts you because otherwise, I'd have laid up right or chipped out.

I feel if I make the cut I will play well on Saturday and Sunday,

I came in thinking this is more of a major course and everybody is going to have some foulups, so just stay patient.

You want to put yourself in position, and when you do that, you have to trust yourself. When you're standing on the last hole and the pin is tucked in the right corner, you've got to know you can hit that shot. Even if you haven't hit a good shot there for the 15 years you've played there, you've still got to believe it that one time. That's what he does -- or looks like he does.
