"I could figure this putting thing"- Lucas Glover opens about his game ahead of the 2023 BMW Championship

Glover won the FedEx St.Jude Championship after defeating Patrick Cantlay in an incredible playoff last Sunday. He had struggled with his game for a while before winning the Wyndham Championship at the beginning of August.

Lucas Glover opened up about his game on Wednesday during a pre-tournament press conference.

"I can honestly say I never thought I wouldn't win again. I didn't think it would be two in a row. I didn't know if it would be a FedEx event. But I never thought I wouldn't win again.I've always said, if it gets to that point, it is probably time to hang them up. But I just news if I could figure this putting thing out that I'd be right back where I wanted to be," he said.

The American golfer worked on his putting techniques and improved them in the last few tournaments. In his last six outings, he finished five times in the top 10, including two victories. His putter game proved to be a weapon in tournaments.

"I'd always been a streaky putter. When I putted well, I played well. When I putted poorly, I played okay. But the nervy, yippy stuff didn't start for three or four years until after the (2009) U.S. Open. Did I make them all? No. But it wasn't because of the yips. It was always probably the weakest part of my game but not to the extent that it has been the last 10 years, had been the last 10 years," Glover said about his putter.

After the final of the BMW Championship on Sunday, the top 30 players in the FedEx Cup standings will qualify for the Tour Championship.
