Lucas Glover, the 2009 US Open champion, drew attention during the final round of the PGA Tour's 3M Open in Minnesota after taking off his shoes on the green having just sunk a putt. The moment amused onlookers and went viral, with Glover later offering a light-hearted explanation for the unusual behaviour, adding a bit of levity to what was otherwise a modest finish for the veteran golfer.

Glover holed a 10-foot birdie putt on the 10th hole during Sunday's final round, but rather than simply retrieving his ball, he walked onto the fringe surrounding the green and removed his shoes before continuing. He went on to finish tied for 57th in the tournament, with the shoe-removal incident proving the more memorable talking point from his week.
