Former US Open champion golfer Lucas Glover was reportedly attacked by his wife, Krista Glover, according to Daily Mail.

According to a police report obtained by the tabloid, the confrontation happened as Krista was not too happy with Lucas' performance at the weekend's Players Championship near St. Augustine. 

According to Daily Mail, Lucas tried to change the statement given to the police in order to ensure that his wife wasn't entangled in legal difficulties but things didn't work out the way he wanted them to.

The police report also said that Krista is always violent with Lucas whenever she believes he has not performed well.

In the recent Players Championship, in which Lucas was up against Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose among others, the golfer reportedly didn't play well and Krista started insulting him by calling him  'p***y' and 'loser'.

The attack happened in front of two underage children and Lucas's mother, Hershey Glover.

The police got to know about the incident after they received an anonymous 911 call which complained about "a disturbance."

When the cops arrived at the location, they reportedly found Krista and Lucas arguing at the porch. Krista then walked up to them and claimed that she had been attacked by her mother-in-law. However, they could not see any signs of attacks on her. 


When Lucas's mother was questioned by the police, she recalled she was trying to stop an argument between the couple. However, things took a different turn as Krista started accusing Lucas's mother and beating her up.

It is then that Lucas tried to stop the fight and got a couple of bruises while doing so. 

Lucas 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."

He then told the deputies that he was done with how his wife treated him but added that he did not want her to get arrested. 

Both Lucas and his mother had visible marks on them which hinted that their side of the story had been true. The deputies also noted that Lucas' right arm had 'multiple lacerations' and Hershey also had blood on her clothes. Krista was handcuffed but the drama between them did not end then. 

The report stated that Krista tried to resist them and refused to get at the back of the car. She tried to do so by tensing "her body and blocking herself from sitting down in the car."

She also tried to damage the car door by kicking it. Even after reaching the police station, Krista did not try to control her behavior. When the cops tried to uncuff her, she reportedly tried to run away. 

"Wait till the tour (PGA) hears about this," she yelled, according to the report. "You will lose your job. This is why cops get shot in the face. Wait till I talk with the judge, you will be f***ng fired over this."

Lucas took to his Twitter to address the issue. "On May 12, my wife and mother were involved in an argument to which the police were called. Everyone is fine," he wrote. 

"Regrettably, although Krista was charged, we are comfortable that the judicial system is able to address what actually happened and Krista will be cleared in this private matter. We thank you for respecting our privacy as we work through this unfortunate situation."

 Krista was released Sunday on a $2,500 bond. She has a date with the judge on May 31.
