Lucas Glover shot a 2-under-par 68 Saturday to remain in first place at the ISCO Championship at Hurstbourne Country Club in Louisville, Ky.
Glover shot his worst round of the tournament after carding a 63 and 64 on Friday and Saturday, respectively. But his day still left him two strokes under par, 15 under for the tournament and featured an eagle and two birdies. More importantly, he held onto the lead he has now maintained through three rounds.
“it means you’re doing something right so you’ve got something to lean on there,” Glover said. “Just whatever you’re doing right, keep doing it.”
The 46-year-old stepped up to the par-5, 566-yard seventh a stroke over par. But his first two shots left him within a few feet of the hole, and he calmly sank the putt for an eagle that put him back on track for another stellar round.
Glover credited his drive for the eagle.
“That’s kind of a hard tee shot for me … with the fairway running left to right and the creek on the right, but hit a nice one there.”
Birdies on Holes 10 and 12 ensured another good day and another lead for the pro seeking his first win of the 2026 season. A win would be his seventh on the PGA Tour overall.
Aaron Wise made up two shots on the leader on Saturday, firing a 4-under 66 to get to within a shot of the pole position. Wise had six birdies on the day.
Interestingly, one of his two bogeys came on the seventh, the same hole Glover had his greatest success.
“Just kind of had to keep hanging in there because the score wasn’t showing it, it was just little things here or there,” Wise admitted. “But I look at tomorrow more as whatever happens, it’s just going to be a learning experience.”
Wise and Glover figure to have plenty of competition on Sunday.
Three golfers are tied for third at 13 under, among them Germany’s Stephan Jaeger, who carded a 5-under 65, one of the better rounds of the day. He balanced six birdies against a solitary bogey.
He’s joined by Steven Fisk and Chan Kim, who shot matching 68s on Saturday.
Zac Blair (64) and Tom Hoge (65) are tied for sixth at 12 under.
Rounding out the top ten at 11 under are four golfers: Canada’s Ben Silverman (64), Puerto Rico’s Rafael Campos (66), Canada’s Taylor Pendrith (66) and William Mouw (68).
