A couple weeks ago Lucas Glover needed an ID card in his own house. Now he's known worldwide after winning the 109th U.S. Open at Bethpage Black.

Q »  Was there a moment where you were like, 'What did I do?'

A »  There were a lot of those. I think I said to myself, 'Really?' a couple of times. That part has definitely sunk in and it's a good feeling. But it took a few days.

Q »  A lot of U.S. Open champions will take some time off, why didn't you?

A »  I was committed. I wasn't in the British yet and needed Hartford and here and the John Deere to get into the British Open. I was scheduled to play and I won. I didn't want to change because of that.

Q »  [Do you agree with the description of you as] an honest Texas Ranger type?

A »  It's funny, one of my pro-am partners today said, 'Man, I'm glad I don't ask you too much, you'll tell me the truth, won't you?' That's the way I've always been, and that's not going to change.
