LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Lucas Glover birdied the final two holes for a 7-under 63 and a share of the first-round lead Thursday in the ISCO Championship.
Steven Fisk, Stephan Jaeger and Troy Merritt joined Glover atop the leaderboard at Hurstbourne Country Club. Played opposite the Scottish Open, the event is sanctioned by the PGA Tour and the European tour.
Glover made an 11-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th, then hit a 163-yard shot to 3 feet on the par-4 18th to cap his afternoon round. He also opened with a 63 last week en route to a third-place finish in the John Deere Classic.
“Very similar to last week, the first couple days, hit it nice, made some putts and no bogeys. Always a good way to start,” the 46-year-old Glover said. “First time here at this course. Absolutely love it. Wish we played more like it.”
Pontus Nyholm and Chan Kim were a stroke back.
