The fan favorite found his way into the winner's circle for the first time in his PGA Tour career
One of the most electric players on the PGA Tour danced his way into the winner's circle at the 2025 Houston Open. Min Woo Lee did just enough at Memorial Park Golf Course to claim his first career PGA Tour victory over Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland, finishing the tournament at 20 under to secure a one-stroke victory.
Lee's triumph makes him the fifth first-time winner on the PGA Tour this season as the Australian joins Thomas Detry, Brian Campbell, Joe Highsmith and fellow countryman Karl Vilips. The victory in Houston may be Lee's first on the PGA Tour, but it's his fifth worldwide as a professional and first since the 2023 Australian PGA Championship.
To the victor goes the spoils. Lee has now locked up a berth to the rest of the 2025 signature events while vaulting to No. 16 in the FedEx Cup standings. Already having qualified for the four major championships, Lee can add a new stop on his calendar next year at the Sentry should he wish.
