Summary
Sixteen greens in regulation powered Min Woo Lee’s opening-round improvement at the Tour Championship after he changed to heavier iron shafts earlier this week.
The new setup let Lee slow down, gather his body and swing with better tempo, producing cleaner misses and the shot shapes he wanted despite limited practice reps.
Tuesday’s equipment change came after what Lee called two very average weeks and one of his saddest stretches on the course, prompting him to search for answers.
Lee said even his team hesitated over the switch, but strong early results in practice carried into Thursday’s scoring as he also converted key putts.
