Lucas Glover hangs onto lead in ISCO Championship in Kentucky
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) --- Lucas Glover topped the ISCO Championship for the
third straight day, shooting a 2-under 68 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead
over Aaron Wise into the final round.
After opened 63-64 without a bogey, the 46-year-old Glover had an eagle, two
birdies and two bogeys at Hurstbourne Country Club. He had a 15-under 195 total.
"Kind of a slow start, 1 over through six," Glover said. "Just didn't make
anything today. I didn't feel like I hit that many bad putts, I just didn't
make anything."
Wise birdied the final two holes for a 66.
"I felt pretty solid every part of my game," Wise said. 'I liked what I did
with my ball-striking between yesterday's round and today, felt pretty
comfortable out there with it."
Stephan Jaeger (65), Steven Fisk (68) and Chan Kim (68) were 13 under. Zac
Blair (64) and (65) were 12 under.
Played opposite the Scottish Open, the event is sanctioned by the PGA Tour and
the European tour. The winner will get into the PGA Championship but not the
Masters next year.
Glover, the only major champion in the field, has six PGA Tour victories,
highlighted by the 2009 U.S. Open. He tied for third last week in the John
Deere Classic.
"I'm very excited." Glover said. "I love to compete. I love to compete. And
everybody's fighting for the same thing. I look forward to it. Struggled on the
weekend a little bit last week, so kind of want to right that ship."
Former Auburn star Jackson Koivun had a 66 to get to 9 under. He missed the cut
last week in his professional debut.
NCAA champion Preston Stout was 7 under after a 68. The Oklahoma State senior
tied for 15th in the John Deere.
