For Lucas Glover this year was no less than a dream. With two incredible with on the PGA Tour, Glover earned a big reputation for himself. And the season for him could have been perfect had he been given the chance to play in the Ryder Cup.

That dream is his is still incomplete and just like every other golfer he too wishes to fulfill this patriotic dream and represent his country on an international level. On his recent appearance on the PGA Tour Radio, he made some revelations.

Lucas Glover reveals his disappointment over not playing Ryder Cup

Glover has been playing on the PGA Tour for a long time but this was his breakout year. After his performance improved and he grabbed two consecutive wins at the Wyndham Championship and next week at the FED Ex St Jude Championship, his expectations rose. He was in the run to be selected for the Ryder Cup.

But the final call from captain Zach Johnson led to his disappointment when he found out that he wasn’t going to Rome. During his recent appearance on the PGA Tour Radio, he discussed what were his feelings during the selection period.

He says, “Greensboro was Greensboro and then Memphis started playing well again, Thursday, Friday and the question started and I wanted a shot about it. You know, I’ve always wanted to play on that team, always have, and still do. It’s obviously a goal, I said it then and I would say it now, I think it’s the highest honor you can have as an athlete, to represent your country in any way and, you know, 43, almost 44, and it’s the only thing I haven’t done and still want to.”

Indeed, playing in the Ryder Cup is a dream of every golfer but sadly it isn’t lived by all. This year the team lost but getting a chance to play was a big honor for them.

Lucas Glover toughened himself for the call with Zach Johnson

When the interviewer asked him if he did get a call from Zach Johnson, Glover replied that he did. According to Glover he and Johnson have been good friends for a long time.

He talked with other captains as well and the hardest thing is to call up other guys and tell them they didn’t make it. Glover too received a similar call. He didn’t make it any harder on Johnson and told him that he understood. It was a tough call to make, but it is what it is.

If Glover continues to maintain his strong performance, then he might get a chance to play next year. What are your thoughts on the subject? Let us know in the comments.
