Quick Quotes

Q. Your first PGA TOUR win in over 10 years. How do you feel right now?

LUCAS GLOVER: Pretty ecstatic. Still hasn't really sunk in yet, but long day. Turned into kind of a long week with the weather. I seem to do all right in the mud, so pretty pleased.

Q. Let's go back to the start of the day and just where your mindset was. You had a number in mind but --

LUCAS GLOVER: Yeah, the focus starting out was aggressive, make as many birdies as possible, and then see where we are come middle of the back nine if it's going well. That's kind of what happened.

I started off with a couple birdies and nice one on 8, and then turned and slowed down a little 10 and 11. Once I got to 14 after making a few birdies, it was, All right, let's get this to 20-under and see if that's good enough.

I think that enabled me to stay aggressive and not get too nervy, because I had a personal goal. I thought that's what I needed.

Q. You spoke just a moment ago about making your way back after the last few years. Talk about that.

LUCAS GLOVER: Yeah, yeah, rededicated is an interesting term, I guess. I've always worked hard and believed in it, but made some changes two or three years ago that needed to do for more longevity with my body and my trainer, Kolby Tullier. He's done a great job with me and kind of reinvigorated fitness for me, which is a big thing.

I want to play a few more years and try to keep going. It was just getting back refocused. I always thought I could do this again, and I just needed to figure out the best way to go about it again.

Q. How special is today?

LUCAS GLOVER: Fantastic. My wife, as well. She's never seen me win a tournament. Very excited. I spoke to my daughter a minute ago, and it wasn't official yet. She just said, nice job and she was happy for me. My son, he probably doesn't care, but that's the way it is.

But pretty cool. I remember that was my biggest takeaway when Tiger won his last Masters is that his kids got to see him as a champ. That was a goal of mine, too.
