Glover grabs lead at Grand Slam golf

US Open champion Lucas Glover seized control on the first day of the PGA Grand Slam of Golf firing a course record six-under 65 yesterday.


Glover has a two-stroke lead over fellow American and British Open champion Stewart Cink at the Port Royal Golf Club course.




The Grand Slam event comprises the four major championship winners of the year.

The 1.35 million dollar tournament wraps up Wednesday with 18 holes.

Stewart shot four-under 67, Masters winner Angel Cabrera had a one-under 70 for third place and giant-killer Yang Yong-Eun, who beat Tiger Woods in the PGA Championship, is fourth following an even-par 71.

Glover's first long birdie, and second birdie of the round, came on the fourth hole.

"That was a hit-and-hope and it just went in," said Glover. "It had to be 50, 60 feet."
