Lucas Glover clarifies shoeless incident at 3M Open
Summary

Lucas Glover addressed the controversy surrounding his shoeless moment during the final round of the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities. After making a birdie on the 10th hole, he removed his golf shoes, which sparked speculation about a statement against the AimPoint green-reading method. Glover clarified on Instagram that his actions were a response to a complaint about metal spikes and were not linked to AimPoint. He described his barefoot stroll as a way to avoid scuffing the turf, emphasizing that it was not a rule violation.
