Lucas Glover shot a 4-under-par 66. He has the 54-hole lead in the FedEx St. Jude Championship. He has made only two bogeys going into the final round.

Such is the state of his game that he said he needed time to think about all the good things that went right Saturday.

“Scrappy would be how I would describe that day; parts of it you could remove the ‘S.’ I got a lot out of what I had,” Glover said after building a one-shot lead, at 14-under 196, over Taylor Moore.

Glover is steeped in common sense, however, and it wasn’t long before he could laugh at his state of mind.

“Three months ago, if I’d have been mad at 66 — or if you told me I’d be mad at 66 — I’d say you were crazy,” he said.
