The Rundown

Min Woo Gets His Break Through

(via ESPN)

It was only a matter of time.

After holding off World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and a resurgent Gary Woodland, Min Woo Lee locked down his first PGA Tour victory in Houston, setting a tournament record in the process—by four shots.

The 26-year-old Australian had everything working all week:
💥 Elite distance off the tee
💥 Dialed-in irons & putting when it mattered most
💥 Composed under pressure to seal the deal

Next stop: Augusta National - and given his upside, he could make some serious noise at The Masters. 👀

Ben James Teeing it up This Week at the Valero Texas Open

After winning the Valero Texas Collegiate last September, UVA junior Ben James returns to San Antonio this week - this time on a PGA Tour stage.

James has been a serious force in the college game, and it feels like just a matter of time before he flashes his potential at the pro level.

Joining him in the field? ASU’s Preston Summerhays, another rising star who’s knocking on the door.

Keep an eye on both as they take on some of the best in the world.

John Daly II Grabs First Collegiate Win

🚨 Talk about a comeback.

Arkansas redshirt junior John Daly II locked up his first collegiate win in absolutely insane fashion.

After an even-par morning round, Daly was five over with five holes to play. That’s when he caught absolute fire:

🔥 2-3-3-3-3 finish
🔥 Six-under in his final five holes
🔥 One-shot victory at the Columbia Spring Invitational

With his game trending in the right direction, let’s see if Daly can keep the momentum rolling.

Ryan Gerard Just Can’t Stop Rolling

The UNC alum just keeps climbing the leaderboard, and we wouldn’t be shocked if he tops that very soon.
