Lucas Glover Holds One‑Stroke Lead at ISCO Championship

Lead Changes After Saturday Rounds

Louisville, Kentucky set a cool autumn backdrop for the ISCO Championship as Lucas Glover posted a 2‑under 68, securing a one‑stroke advantage over Aaron Wise heading into the final round. Glover, who opened the tournament with back‑to‑back rounds of 63 and 64 without a bogey, now totals 15 under par after a round that included an eagle, two birdies and two bogeys at Hurstbourne Country Club. Wise responded with a 66, catching the last two holes with birdies to close the gap. The top three players on the leaderboard now gear up for a Sunday showdown.

Glover’s Round in Detail

The 46‑year‑old champion admitted his start was tentative, “Kind of a slow start, 1 over through six,” he said, “just didn’t make anything today.” Despite missing a few putts, he managed to keep his composure and finish with a solid 68. Glover’s overall performance of 15 under places him comfortably in first place, while his six PGA Tour victories—including the 2009 U.S. Open—add extra weight to his current form. He also notes a desire to improve after a weekend struggle at the John Deere Classic, where he tied for third.

Field Highlights

Several other contenders posted noteworthy scores. Stephan Jaeger carded a 65, joining Steven Fisk and Chan Kim at 13 under after rounds of 68. Zac Blair managed two consecutive rounds of 64 and 65, sits at 12 under. Former Auburn standout Jackson Koivun posted a 66, reaching 9 under after a missed cut in his professional debut. NCAA champion Preston Stout followed with a 68, landing at 7 under and repeating a strong showing from the John Deere event.
