A 57-year-old male presents to his GP concerned about a strange mole on his back which she noticed 6 months ago. On examination, you notice the lesion is brown with irregular borders. The patient explains that over the past 6 months, the lesion has noticeably increased in size. You measure the lesion to be 8mm. He denies any itchiness, inflammation, oozing or change in colour. Further investigation leads to a diagnosis of malignant melanoma.

Based on the findings, what is the Glasgow score for his lesion?
