Modest Glover a likeable but unlikely Champion.

I caught a glimpse of Lucas Glover on the Regis and Kathy Lee Show (hey, I was sick and the TV remote was too far away to reach) and was quite taken by our newest U.S. Open Champion. There seems to be a genuine modesty within him. He could easily be the kid scrubbing your clubs after a round or the Assistant Pro at a muni who is just hanging out chatting it up with the local hacks. You certainly wouldn't recognize  him in a crowded airport, except for the BIG SHINY TROPHY he'd be carrying around with him. Of course now, with $1,350,000 burning a hole in his pocket I'm pretty sure that he won't be flying commercial airlines!

Honestly, it is really refreshing to have a guy like Glover hold the U.S. Open trophy. He got it by qualifying. He held on to a lead when it looked impossible for him to hold on. His "Aw Schucks" demeanor is a welcome change from the "look at me" atheletes in other sports. I didn't pay much attention to him before, but I can tell you I will from now on.

Way to go Lucas... TOP OF THE WORLD has a really great view, cherish it always!
