An unsubstantiated rumor has it that 2009 U.S. Open Champion Lucas Glover may be walking away from the game of golf with an announcement in the next few weeks.

How could that be?

Doesn't make any sense, does it?

So okay, 2010 wasn't the banner year for Glover like 2009 when he beat Phil Mickelson, David Duval and Ricky Barnes down the stretch at Bethpage Black to win that elusive first major that most golfers, even better known ones like Sergio Garcia or Lee Westwood, may never win.

Walking away from the game to perhaps pursue something bigger in life than an athlete competing for fame and glory on a golf course may make sense for Glover from a few perspectives.

At No. 73 on the all-time career list with $13,084,546 in earnings, at age 31 he has made more than what ten average Americans would make in a lifetime. How much money do you need to follow your passion in life if it is no longer golf?

Lucas married his high school and college sweetheart Jennifer back in 2005. First comes love, then comes marriage and then comes a baby in a baby carriage?

Maybe they want to raise a family in a more conventional manner than being on tour for half the year or more?

Could the thrill of playing competitive golf be gone? With his short game and confidence plummeting in 2010, feeling like that would be understandable.

What mountain is left to climb in professional golf when you have won the Open Championship of your country?

Glover is not your typical sports superstar either.

He reads books, books without pictures in them.

He's a thinker, an introspective sort of guy

Truly a southern gentleman from South Carolina he loves everything New York especially the Yankees, Giants and Seinfeld.
