U.S. Open winner Lucas Glover finished what he started yesterday, capturing the PGA Grand Slam of Golf in Bermuda. Playing with a new set of irons, Glover briefly gave up the lead to British Open champ Stewart Cink, but a run of three straight birdies helped propel him to a 5-under 66, and a two-day score of 11-under.

Masters winner Angel Cabrera finished second, 5-strokes behind Glover. Cabrera shot a 5-under 66, leaving him at 6-under for the tournament. Cink overtook Glover on the front nine, but gave back the lead after faltering on the back nine with a couple of bogeys.
The final player in the foursome, PGA winner Y.E. Yang, was suffering the effects of jet lag after flying in from South Korea, followed up his opening round of even par with a 1-under 70, to finish dead last. Still, Yang pockets $200,000 for his efforts, $400,000 less than Glover.
