Clemson, S.C.—Former Clemson
All-American and Hall of Famer Lucas Glover begins play in his eighth Masters
Tournament on Thursday at 7:00 a.m. off the first tee at the Augusta National
Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Glover
will be one of the first competitors at the tournament, as he is in Group One
with Corey Conners and C.T. Pan. This will be Glover’s eighth
Masters, more than any other former Clemson golfer, but his first since 2014. Glover has made the cut at the Masters four
of his previous seven appearances with his best finish coming in 2007 when he
finished 20th. His best score
was recorded in 2010 when he finished with a four-over-par 292, good enough for
36th place that year. Glover has made the cut in
each of his last two trips to Augusta.
He finished 49th in 2013 and 42nd in 2014. The native of Greenville High
who played for the Tigers from 1997-2001 and was a two-time first-team
All-American, will be playing in his 43rd career Major Championship,
also more than any other former Tiger golfer.
He has made the cut at 18 of his
previous 42 Majors. Glover is the only former
Tiger to win a Major Championship, as he won the 2009 US Open at Bethpage
Black. That is obviously the best finish
by any former Tiger at the US Open.
Glover also has the best finish by a former Clemson golfer at the PGA (5th,
2009) and the Open Championship (12th, in 2011). Glover qualified for the 2020
Masters off his 29th place finish at the 2018-19 season FedX Cup
Championship. This will be just the
fifth tournament in 2020-21 for Glover, who finished 17th at the US
Open. Former and current Clemson
golfers have made 29 appearances at The Masters. Former Tigers have made the cut 12 times,
including Chris Patton in 1990, the first Tiger to make the cut at the
tournament. The top finish is an eighth-place by Jonathan Byrd in 2003 when he
shot an even-par 288 in is first Masters appearance. The best score by a former Tiger is 283 by
Kyle Stanley in 2019 when he finished 21st.
