Lucas Glover Wins 2009 U.S. Open

Dr. Morris Pickens’ student, Lucas Glover, wins 2009 U.S. Open

In an unbelievable display of talent combined with patience, Lucas Glover won his first major today, the 2009 U.S. Open.  Having worked with Lucas since his early days on the Nationwide Tour in 2002, it is especially gratifying to see such a great person, let alone a great student, get rewarded with such a victory.  As I spoke with his other Sea Island instructors today, (Mike Taylor – swing coach and Randy Myers – trainer), all we could talk about was how happy we were for such a great guy.  I know his previous coaches, Dick Harmon who taught him to play the game (now deceased), and Larry Penley (Clemson coach) who honed his game during Lucas’s college years are also smiling ear to ear.  I, Dr. Morris Pickens, along with all of the rest of my students (who watch his every move) want to congratulate Lucas on all the hard work, dedication, and patience that lead to his victory — for he is the one who truly deserves all the credit for his fantastic victory.  Way to go Lucas!!!! (or as the NY crowd says, “YOU ARE THE MAN”).
