Houston Open was rigged Rory Mcllroy presents evidence showing how the override him in giving the #Houstonopen cup to Min Woo Lee

When you don’t have a PGA Tour win on your ledger, it’s just natural to be fielding questions about how you’ll handle starting with the lead on Sunday. Min Woo Lee, however, had an appropriate answer.

“I’m starting to learn golf is golf and don’t get too emotional about bad shots, it’s going to happen, especially on a Sunday even if you had the lead or not,” he said. “Yeah, don’t get ahead of yourself, one shot at a time.”

That mindset, along with a couple of timely shots, gave Lee his long-awaited first victory at the Texas Children’s Houston Open. Lee let a tee shot get away from him at the par-5 eighth, resulting in an unplayable lie. Lee got up-and-down for par, however, then followed that by staking a pitching wedge at the par-3 ninth for a momentum-restoring birdie. A late run by Scottie Scheffler and a bad bogey by Lee at the par-5 16th made things tight, but Lee held on.

Lee uses a split set of Callaway irons, including muscleback-blade forged prototypes made just for him. The prototype irons, which have Nippon Modus 125X shafts, have a squarish high toe and the pitching wedge is stamped “10” instead of “PW.”

The head shape is based on tour input and caters to higher swing speeds looking to reduce spin. Designed for better performance on off-center hits compared to past TD models without enlarging the clubhead. The AI-designed face uses an asymmetrical thickness pattern to produce consistent ball speeds and carry distances across a broader range of impact locations.The sole features two switchable weight screws in the front and back. Placing the heavier weight forward lowers spin and flight; keeping the heavier weight back bolsters stability on mis-hits and increases launch. A thermo-forged carbon crown saves weight that is repositioned low for reduced spin. Developed through new 3-D-printing capabilities, the enhanced head shape has smoother curves for less drag while maintaining lower spin and stability on off-center strikes. MOI Rating: ABOVE AVERAGE Top 5 in Performance, middle- and high-handicaps 8, 9, 10.5 degrees (with an eight-way adjustable hosel)

A small tweak to his Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond driver helped, too. Lee, working with his coach, dropped the loft down to 8.5 degrees to lessen the spin (his previous gamer was 9 degrees). Lee ranked fifth in driving distance at 317 yards per measured drive.
