PGA Tour pro with rare outburst of emotion after hole-in-one

PGA Tour golfer Lucas Glover is not usually one to show too much emotion on the course. 

But the veteran pro certainly enjoyed making his first hole-in-one on the Tour since 2017 during the second round of the Wyndham Championship on Saturday.

The first round of the PGA Tour event was washed out because of Tropical Storm Debby. 

Beau Hossler hit the front when play was allowed to resume on Friday afternoon and flirted with a 59. 

As for Glover, he returned a level par 70 for his opening round and began his second in the worst way possible with a bogey at the 10th. 

Then his fortunes changed when he stepped up to the par-3 12th. 

Glover hit his signature, tight and towering draw towards the pin that was 189 yards away. 

He knew it was good straight away and stood on the tee box in admiration. 

His ball bounced twice, then rolled in for a rare ace. 

"You're not gonna get big Lucas to ever leave Sedgefield," the commentator said, referencing the fact he won here last 12 months ago. 

Glover then high-fived his playing partners Keegan Bradley and Si Woo Kim. 

Watch his reaction here:

Glover claimed his fifth PGA Tour title here 12 months ago.

He beat Russell Henley by two strokes and his victory meant he secured his place in last year's playoffs. 

A week later, Glover won the first leg of the aforementioned playoffs by clinching the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind. 

It meant he put himself in position to claim a spot in the 2023 U.S. Ryder Cup team. 

Glover ultimately missed out in representing his nation in the biennial dust-up. 

After the U.S. were handily defeated in Italy, Glover claimed there really was split amongst the team. 

The 44-year-old is currently 76th in the 2024 FedEx Cup standings. 

The top 70 players at the conclusion of this week's tournament will advance to the FedEx St. Jude Championship next week.
