While the Saudi circuit is known for fun little titbits like that, the PGA Tour is also following suit to make the American circuit more entertaining.

The FedEx St. Judes Championship started off unlike most tournaments on the PGA Tour with a big purse but only with the top 70 players. With the high level of competitiveness among golfers from around the world, it soon became clear that it was going to be a nail-biter.

Lucas Glover started round 1 behind other prolific golfers namely Jordan Spieth, Tom Kim, and Emiliano Grillo. By round 2, he came into form and leaped forward on the leaderboard with 6-under 64 which put him at 10-under par in total. It put him in the lead against his competition. After round 3, even though he is only one shot ahead of Taylor Moore and has serious chasers to claim the title, the Clemson alumnus still stands a good chance to take home the massive winner’s payout at the first FedEx Cup playoffs.
