Former U.S. Open champion and Greenville native and former Clemson Tiger Lucas Glover fired a -9/63 in Thursday’s opening round of the PGA Tour Barbasol Classic near Lexington, KY to take a one-stroke lead over Ryan Armour and Ryan Moore. Glover last won on tour in the ’20-’21 season at the John Deere Classic, his lone tour victory since 2011. The now 20-year PGA Tour veteran out of Clemson had eight birdies and an eagle Thursday, needing just 27 putts on the day.
