AUGUSTA, Ga. — For the ninth time in his career, Lucas Glover will tee it up in the Masters.

The Greenville native’s best finish in this tournament is a tie for 20th in 2007. His best round was a 69 in the second round of the 2014 Masters. He went on to finish 42nd with a 296 total. Overall, Glover has made the cut four times, 2007 (20th), 2010 (36th), 2013 (49th) and 2014 (42nd).
Glover will tee off on Thursday at 11:29 a.m. and will be in a group with Erik van Rooyen of South Africa and Cameron Davis of Australia. The same group will tee off at 8:22 a.m. on Friday.
Glover will be making his his 45th appearance in a major, more than any other former Clemson golfer and he’s the only one to have won a major as he won the 2009 US Open at Bethpage Black in New York. It is one of his seven top 20 finishes at Major championships.
