Lucas Glover

Quick Quotes

Q. A little bit better today. Just not going to make the cut, but what do you take away from these two days when you come back next year, to get you back to where you've been the last couple years?

LUCAS GLOVER: Nothing. Nothing. Just don't --

Q. Making putts?

LUCAS GLOVER: Just don't do that. Don't do that anymore.

Q. Take me to the third hole. Is that just a Masters thing? Is that just this course, that it happens sometimes and you've still got 15 holes to play and you've got to figure out a way to fight through it?

LUCAS GLOVER: No, that was a mental mistake. You can't hit it short into the wind and you've got to control the spin, and I didn't, either. Then you have to get it on the green for the first one and give yourself a putt, not two more. That was on me, not the golf course or anything else. Just bad spin control, and made an error -- compounded an error with another error.

Q. What differences did you see in your game today compared to yesterday?

LUCAS GLOVER: I just made some putts on the back nine to not shoot about the same thing as yesterday, to be honest.

Q. Just knowing that you can put together a better performance than you did these past two days, how do you take this and rationalize it to yourself knowing that that's not the best you can do?

LUCAS GLOVER: Yeah, no, I know that. I just felt pretty good coming in and just didn't have it. Very kind of disheartening. I felt pretty good about playing yesterday, and when I got up yesterday morning, just didn't have it for two days.

Q. What's the mindset coming off of that first round, knowing that it would take an amazing round today to be around for the weekend?

LUCAS GLOVER: Yeah, just be aggressive. I got off to a nice start and almost chipped in on 1 and then had a 10-footer for eagle on 2 that barely missed. I didn't hit two bad shots on 3. I just didn't hit it far enough. Then I made the cardinal sin of making a mistake of -- extra mistake and then an extra mistake and just not smart golf and just didn't execute all week.

Q. We used to think of 15 as such an easy birdie hole. It doesn't seem like it anymore.

LUCAS GLOVER: No, I have to have significant downwind to even be able to get there now. It's pretty much a three-shot hole for me unless it's way downwind, which it hasn't been this week.

Q. Then the third shot is --

LUCAS GLOVER: No, the third shot is one of the hardest wedge shots in golf, especially to today's pin. Into the wind, it's no bargain. Downwind it's even harder. Yeah, that hole, it's a three-shotter for me, and you're pretty happy with a 5 to the pin we had today.

Q. A couple of guys yesterday including Rory went over the green and chipped back into the water. How easy is that to do?

LUCAS GLOVER: Very easy. Pretty significant slope up there, especially to that pin, and we used to just see that to the pin that we have today, the middle left over there, but they added that front right hole location a few years back, and that front edge is pretty sharp. So if it gets going, it's going.
