A glimpse into Lucas Glover’s performances after he switched to the L.A.B. Golf Mezz.1 Max Putter
Lucas Glover had a difficult start to the 2023 season due to numerous setbacks. He even failed to make the cut in multiple tournaments, including the Genesis Invitational, RBC Heritage, and the Travelers Championship.
However, the 2009 U.S. Open winner finally finished in the top 10 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic event, finishing T4 after he switched to his new putter. Following that, he finished T6 and solo fifth place at the John Deere Classic and Barbasol Championship respectively.
Glover's consecutive victories at the Wyndham Championship and FedEx St. Jude Championship brought him into the limelight again. These were the golfer's lone victories this year on the PGA Tour.
Additionally, Glover had some decent finishes in the rest of the events and only missed the cut once in the 3M Open since changing his putter.
Lucas Glover is currently competing in the second round of the Hero World Challenge event and is ranked T11 on the leaderboard, just four strokes behind the current leaders' Brian Harman and Tony Finau.
