Lucas Glover will enter the 2009 season with something to prove. Yes, he nearly made $1 million last season, but for the second straight year he's taken a step backwards on the money list. The 2005 FUNAI Classic at Walt Disney World Resort champion didn't finish higher than seventh in 2008. Glover, who had never taken an extended break from the game since he turned pro, opted not to play during the Fall Finish so he should be fresh in 2009. Putting seems to be a primary culprit. He dropped from 41st to 103rd in putting average from 2007 to '08. Putts from 5-10 feet appear particularly problematic with Glover ranking 162nd in that category. -- Helen Ross
