Min Woo Lee held off late surges from Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland to win the Texas Children’s Houston Open.
Rory McIlroy shot a closing 64 to finish in a tie for fifth, but admitted he has been dealing with discomfort in his right elbow as he prepares for the US Masters.
Lee went into the final round with a four-stroke advantage and had stretched that to five on the back nine.
But after Woodland and Scheffler launched their late pushes, the Australian bogeyed the par five 16th to lead by a single stroke. He two putted from off the back of the 18th green to claim his first PGA Tour title.
