Quotes
“Whether you're fighting something or playing great, you just work hard. You never know when it can turn and it's turned very quickly for me," Glover said after winning the 2023 St. Jude Championship.
"If you would have told me this three months ago, I'd tell you you're crazy. But at the same time, if you asked me legitimately did I think I was capable.
"I'd say yes, even then. It's just one of those sad ways athletes are wired. "We always believe in ourselves no matter how bad it is."
