Look back at the last 18 major championships. You have only three Americans who have found themselves in the winner's circle: Tiger Woods (6), Phil Mickelson (2) and Zach Johnson (1).
We hear the media all the time talking about who will be the next American--particularly under the age of 30--to step up on the major scene and beat the likes of Tiger and Phil.
Lucas Glover did just that. Young guns like Anthony Kim and Hunter Mahan have had big wins on Tour, but up until Glover's magnificent performance today, we hadn't seen a young American excel on the major championship level with some of the best in the game in pursuit.
It's too early to tell whether Glover will be the next American who will be in contention at majors time and time again, but he's off to a good start.
