Lucas Glover claims Wyndham Championship

Lucas Glover waited out a weather delay and received a lucky bounce on the last hole to win the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, while Shane Lowry missed out on a FedEx Cup place after finishing in a share of 51st place in North Carolina.

Glover followed a third-round 62 with a two-under-par 68 on Sunday to finish on 20 under, two strokes better than Russell Henley and South Korean Byeong Hun An.

Henley came out of the delay with a shot of momentum, making a two-putt birdie at the par-5 15th hole for the outright lead.

He then missed the green at the par-3 16th and wound up finishing his round with three successive bogeys.

Glover's drive at the par-4 18th missed left but bounced off the side of a volunteer's cart, preventing his ball from ending up with an even worse lie.

Knowing he had a two-shot lead, Glover laid up, reached the green in three strokes and rolled in an eight-foot par putt.

"To be honest I'd have probably laid it up anyway," Glover said with a laugh. "Just might have been a harder lay-up. But I didn't know (about the cart bounce) officially - I thought somebody
