Lee wrestled control of the tournament away from Scheffler with a sensational effort on Moving Day
After Scottie Scheffler tied his own course record with a 62 to take a one-stroke lead entering the weekend at the 2025 Houston Open, it felt like yet another runaway victory was ahead for the world's best player. However, on Moving Day at Memorial Park, it was Min Woo Lee who took control of the tournament from the final group.
Scheffler's putter went from on fire Friday to ice cold Saturday as he could simply not get anything to fall from distance. After going bogey free across his first 36 holes, he put two squares on the card in the third round and posted a 1-under 69 despite another day in Houston with ideal scoring conditions.
Lee took full advantage of Scheffler dragging his feet by birdieing seven of his first 14 holes to surge to the top of the leaderboard. His power off the tee was a huge weapon Saturday as he regularly topped 190 miles per hour with his driver and gave himself plenty of short irons and wedges into the greens. With soft greens, he could attack with the scoring clubs and create a ton of quality looks at birdie, converting them at a high level.
