Glover captures Wyndham Championship for 5th TOUR win
Lucas Glover posted a final-round 68 on Sunday to capture the Wyndham Championship at 20-under, two shots clear of Russell Henley and Byeong-Hun An.
Glover's win is the fifth of his career and first since the 2021 John Deere Classic. The 43-year-old's timing couldn't have been better, as his triumph this week vaulted him from 112th to 49th in the FedEx Cup standings, good enough to send him to the playoffs for the fifth year in a row.
He's the oldest player to win on TOUR since Phil Mickelson won the 2021 PGA Championship at 50.
Glover entered the final round tied with Billy Horschel for the lead, but his playing partner struggled Sunday with a 72. Here's a look at how the top five shook out in the TOUR's regular season finale:
| Position | Player | Score |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lucas Glover | -20 |
| T2 | Russell Henley | -18 |
| T2 | Byeong-Hun An | -18 |
| 4 | Billy Horschel | -16 |
| T5 | Webb Simpson | -13 |
| T5 | Michael Kim | -13 |
Justin Thomas finished the tournament tied for 12th at 11-under. His quest to get inside the top 70 of the FedEx Cup standings and make the playoffs came up excruciatingly short, as his birdie chip on the 72nd hole lipped out. He climbed eight spots on the points list with a strong week, but it wasn't enough to overcome an uncharacteristically poor season.
The TOUR's playoffs begin Aug. 10 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis.
