The Outlook
In his second-to-last start on a 10-year exemption for winning the 2009 U.S. Open, perhaps Glover will feel some good vibes returning to Long Island, though Shinnecock is a long way from Bethpage, geographically and stylistically. He’s enjoying a consistent stretch, posting just a pair of missed cuts in the past 51 weeks, though his most impressive performance might have come in his last start at the Memorial Tournament. Just a few weeks removed from his wife being arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, he reached the early leaderboard before faltering on the weekend.
