PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Not all breaks are created equal.
Some players take a few weeks off to avoid burnout, or perhaps rest for a long stretch ahead. Others step away when things aren’t going right, eager to rediscover a few answers.
But sometimes, circumstances dictate a player’s schedule and force a competitive hiatus. That’s what happened to Lucas Glover this summer, and it led to an improbably swift turnaround for the former U.S. Open champion.
Having last battled for his PGA Tour card in 2004, Glover entered the homestretch of this season knowing that his various exemptions from past wins were about to expire.
