LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) --- Lucas Glover shot a 6-under 64 in wet conditions
Friday to take a two-stroke lead into the weekend in the ISCO Championship.
Played opposite the Scottish Open, the event is sanctioned by the PGA Tour and
the European tour. The winner will get into the PGA Championship but not the
Masters next year.
The 46-year-old Glover had a 13-under 127 total at Hurstbourne Country Club,
playing through rain in the morning Friday.
"It was a little bit nasty this morning when we started, had some rain through
the first few holes," Glover said. "Played nice, solid, no bogeys through two
days. Need to keep that up. Scores are going to be low, so keep the pedal down."
Chan Kim (65) and Steven Fisk (66) were tied for second. Aaron Wise (65) and
Jeong Weon Ko (65) were another stroke back at 10 under. Defending champion
William Mouw was 9 under after a 63.
"I played really solid golf today," Mouw said. "Hit my targets, had really good
speed on the greens. Short game held up when I missed a green. All in all, very
pleased with my round today."
Glover, the only major champion in the field, has six PGA Tour victories,
highlighted by the 2009 U.S. Open. He tied for third last week in the John
Deere Classic.
"I had a feeling it was going to be soft today just with the forecast and
everything," Glover said. "Just stay aggressive. Came out a little early after
the delay to make sure I had the speed of the greens. They were a tick slower,
but nothing drastic."
NCAA champion Preston Stout was 5 under after a 67. The Oklahoma State senior
tied for 15th in the John Deere.
Former Auburn star Jackson Koivun had a 68 to also get to 5 under. He missed
the cut last week in his professional debut.
