Larry Penley on Lucas Glover:
"Just like John Engler, Lucas is one of the best players in the country. He is an incredible competitor. I enjoy watching them compete for Clemson and with each other. When you compare their career stats it is incredible how similar their stats are.

"Lucas' strength is his ball striking and he can overpower golf courses. He drives the ball very straight and very long. His putting has gotten better. When he concentrates and has confidence in his putts inside five feet, he is going to play well. If he can knock in a 15 or 20 footer every now and then we are going to see low numbers from Lucas. "
