Lucas Glover eclipsed Patrick Cantlay in a playoff to win the FedEx St Jude Championship, with Rory McIlroy having to settle for a share of third place.McIlroy carded a final round of 65 in Memphis to finish just one shot behind the aforementioned duo after regulation play.
Three birdies in the first four holes saw the reigning Fed Ex champion quickly make ground on the leaders, having started the day five shots in arrears.Glover, 43, ultimately claimed victory with a par on the 18th hole playoff after Cantlay found water off the tee.Speaking after his victory, which comes just a week after he landing the Wyndham Championship, Glover said: "If you would have told me this three months ago, I'd tell you you're crazy."But at the same time, if you asked me legitimately did I think I was capable, I'd say yes, even then.
It's just one of those sad ways athletes are wired."We always believe in ourselves no matter how bad it is."Glover was ranked 119th in the world prior to the Wyndham Championship, but now sits 30th.
