Lucas Glover was one of the great stories of the 2022-2023 PGA Tour campaign.
The veteran shocked us all by winning back-to-back events during the final stages of the season, putting himself firmly in the frame for an unlikely Ryder Cup captain's pick.
With four rounds in the 60s, Glover first ticked off the Wyndham Championship before triumphing in a playoff over Patrick Cantlay a week later at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
One of the reasons why he was so dominant over a short space of time was because, quite simply, he was a demon on the greens.
