In the wake of a great performance at the FedEx Cup, where Lucas Glover won the competition, the US player has increased his ambitions and has stressed that one of his goals is to play at the Ryder Cup for the US team. Although it remains to be seen whether this is a realistic possibility right now, looking at his great form, Glover is definitely a player who deserves a place in this team. After the victory at FedEx, Glover answered a reporter's question at the press conference; Did he think about the Ryder Cup and the chances of being in Rome this year;
“About 15 minutes ago. I've never made it and I want to.”- he said, as quoted by golfmonthly.com
Every golfer dreams of playing in such a competition where the best players from Europe and the US compete. Glover could provide a lot for his team. However, he is not the one who will decide. In a conversation with reporters, Glover said that he thinks he deserves a chance and that with his quality he can be part of the team.
“Right now, yes," Glover said. “[I’m] playing pretty good golf, and I think I'd be pretty good in the team room and be a good partner, so yeah, absolutely I would.”
Lucas Glover and FedEx CupAs a reminder, Glover achieved a playoff victory against Patrick Cantlay at FedEx. It's a huge tailwind for him and a reminder of how much quality he really possesses.
“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. I never gave that up, but in the middle of May, it was hard to go to the range some days and hard to work.
But we pushed through and did it anyway.”
