Lucas Glover Has Addressed His Swamp-Ass Situation In Memphis

Lucas Glover’s triumphant win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis this year is likely remembered by golf fans, not just for his victory over Patrick Cantlay on the first playoff hole at TPC Southwind, but also for his battle with an uncomfortable case of swamp-ass.

Glover sported a pair of soaked pants that looked as though he had dunked them in a swimming pool before wearing them during the event. A seeming deterrent for many, it did not stop Glover from securing the championship amid sweltering Memphis summer conditions. Every individual at the tournament experienced swamp-ass, but for Glover, it was visible, leading him to become the focus of the story.

Describing the oppressive heat in the city during the tournament as akin to the surface of the sun, a local resident attested that it was the hottest day they had ever experienced during the event’s history. However, the intense temperatures only exacerbated the situation.

Interestingly, Glover recently shared in an interview with Golfweek that his clothing sponsor, Linksoul, immediately offered him a new pair of breathable pants following his win and subsequent wardrobe malfunction from the tournament. Reflecting on the whole experience, he recounted the outpouring of support and suggestions from people, including the arrival of several new pants for him to try. Ultimately, the fiasco was worth it, netting him millions of dollars and securing his second win in as many weeks.
