Krista Glover was arrested Saturday on battery charges at a home the couple rented in Ponte Vedra, Florida, not far from the competition at Sawgrass TPC.
Lucas [photo], told deputies how ‘when he plays a bad round of golf, Krista proceeds to start an altercation with him and telling him how he is a loser and a p***y, how he needs to fire everyone, and how he’d better win or her and the kids would leave him and he would never see the kids again,’ the report reads.
At Sawgrass TPC, Glover started the tournament well on Thursday, finishing just two strokes behind the leaders.

He started losing ground Friday and Saturday and did not play on Sunday. He was listed on the final leaderboard as ‘MDF,’ meaning he made the cuts but didn’t finish.
Saturday night, however, Lucas allegedly told deputies he was tired of all the altercations with his wife and couldn’t take it anymore. At the same time, he tried to dissuade deputies from arresting Krista and claimed there was no physical altercation.
The 38-year-old golfer, best known for his 2009 win at the U.S. Open and the 2011 Wells Fargo Open, did tell authorities that his wife had been drinking all day.
Deputies noted in their reports there were fresh lacerations to Lucas’ right arm and ‘multiple lacerations’ to both his 62-year-old mother Hershey Glover’s arms as well as blood on her clothes. The deputies photographed the injuries.
Neither Lucas nor his mom asked to be treated by paramedics.
According to the police report, someone in the house called 911 to report ‘a disturbance’ shortly before 8.30pm
When deputies arrived, they allegedly found Krista and Lucas arguing on the porch.
Krista walked up to them and claimed she was attacked by her mother-in-law during an argument with her husband.
The 36-year-old is accused of causing bodily harm when she “forcefully attacked” the 2009 US Open winner and her mother-in-law in front of their two kids, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office.
When officers arrived at the scene, Lucas told them that, according to authorities, “when he plays a bad round of golf, Krista proceeds to start an altercation with him and telling him how he is a loser and a p—y.”
He said she then continued berating him about “how he needs to fire everyone, and how he’d better win or her and the kids would leave him and he would never see the kids again,” according to the police report.
You can’t fix this kind of crazy.
