Min Woo Lee’s Stellar Round Secures Four-Shot Lead
Min Woo Lee, the younger brother of LPGA major champion Minjee Lee, seized control of the Texas Children’s Houston Open with a commanding 7-under 63, solidifying a four-shot lead. This remarkable performance places him at 1-7-under 193, just four shots ahead of Argentina’s Alejandro Tosti, who shot a 65. Rory McIlroy, 8 shots behind, had a late eagle for a 6-66.
A Tough Day for Scottie Scheffler
Scottie Scheffler, who started the day with a one-shot lead, stumbled on a 69. Scheffler had difficulty on the greens, particularly struggling with a 15-foot eagle putt on the 16th and a weak bunker shot at the 17th, which led to a missed birdie chance. After his round, I feel like yesterday I holed a bunch of putts… today I feel like I couldn’t get the ball to go in the hole

- Made a lengthy 12-foot putt on the 10th for another birdie.
