Lucas Glover, the reigning US Open champion captured the PGA Grand Slam of Golf by five strokes on Wednesday. He fired a five-under 66 to easily win the $1.35-million event.
Glover received a prize money of 600,000 dollars by posting a two-day total of 131 at the Port Royal Golf Club course. The 36-hole Grand Slam event comprises the four major championship winners of the year.
Angel Cabrera who also shot a final-round 66 but still finished five strokes behind Glover. British Open champ Stewart Cink attained the third place. South Korea's Yang Yong-Eun, the PGA Champion, grabbed the fourth place after a final-round 70.
Glover said, “Everybody else was off to a pretty quick start, and Stewart got off like wildfire, and Y.E. and Angel the same, and I was just kind of there.”
"I got it turned around there towards the end of the front nine and played pretty good golf from there."
Glover's five-shot victory was the largest winning margin since Tiger Woods defeated Phil Mickelson in 2005 by seven strokes.
