        Palmer, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, and Tiger Woods;
Whereas Lucas Glover shot a final round 73 for a 72-hole total of 4 under par, 2 
        strokes better than any other competitor;
Whereas Lucas Glover showed great skill, patience, and will by withstanding the 
        challenges of the weather and the course;
Whereas Lucas Glover is the first native South Carolinian to win a men's major 
        championship in golf; and
Whereas Lucas Glover brings great pride and honor to his family and friends, his 
        alma mater Clemson University, and the citizens of South Carolina with 
        his victory: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate congratulates Lucas Glover on the 
outstanding accomplishment of winning the 2009 United States Open golf 
tournament.
