Lucas Glover goes back-to-back with FedEx St Jude Championship victory

Lucas Glover's golf game is ageing like a fine wine, as he has more victories in his 40s (3) than his 20s (2).

The American duo were forced into an extra hole in Memphis after each completing 72 holes on 15 under par.

Glover, 43, ultimately claimed victory with a par on the 18th hole playoff after Cantlay found water off the tee.

Speaking after his victory, which comes just a week after he took out Wyndham Championship, Glover said: "If you would have told me this three months ago, I'd tell you you're crazy.

"But at the same time, if you asked me legitimately did I think I was capable, I'd say yes, even then. It's just one of those sad ways athletes are wired.

"We always believe in ourselves no matter how bad it is."

Glover was ranked 119th in the world prior to the Wyndham Championship, but now sits 30th. In fact, in 2014 - his 13th year on the PGA Tour - his ranking went as low as 606. Reflecting on the grind, Glover attributed his recent success to adopting a long putter, his last resort before putting left-handed.

"You know, [the last] ten years up until this run, I've underachieved and knew it," he continued.

"It was all because of putting. It was just believing in myself, and [being] hard-headed and stubborn enough to not give up. It took something drastic to figure it out, but it's worked."

Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and England's Tommy Fleetwood finished agonisingly close, but had to settle for equal-third on 14 under par.

Fleetwood was unable to sink a birdie chance on his last hole which would have propelled him into the playoff.
