FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) - Lucas Glover has won the U.S. Open at
Bethpage Black.
Getting only the second victory of his PGA Tour career, Glover
finished a final round of 3-over 73 Monday afternoon to win by two
strokes over Phil Mickelson, David Duval and Ricky Barnes.
Glover took the outright lead with his lone birdie of the day at
the par-4 16th and held on, taking home $1.35 million for the
victory. He was 4 under for the championship.
Defending champion Tiger Woods finished even par and in a tie
for sixth, four shots behind Glover.
