All eyes have already turned to Masters week, but some of the biggest names in golf still had one more tune-up at the Texas Children's Houston Open at Memorial Park. Not only did this represent the last chance for Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and other stars to work out the kinks ahead of the ultimate test at Augusta National, but it's also another chance to solidify spots in the FedEx Cup rankings — not to mention quite the payday.
Min Woo Lee entered the final round in Houston holding a three-shot lead, and despite serious charges from Scheffler (-7 on Sunday) and Gary Woodland (-8), he was able to keep calm down the stretch and hang on by a stroke for his first win on the PGA Tour. It won't determine the winner of the FedEx Cup by any means, or secure much positioning when compared to the top players in the world. But as is the case every year, each point matters, and it also rocketed him up the 2025 money list.

Lee pocketed a cool $1.71 million for his efforts, vaulting him up near the top 10 in this year's PGA Tour money list. It felt like a coming-out party for the 26-year-old, long one of the biggest hitters and most engaging personalities on tour, and he currently sits 16th in earnings in 2025.
