Lee Hodges is making headlines for his incredible performance at the 2023 3M Open Championship. The American professional golfer has become the talk of the town by dominating the field of the PGA Tour event since round one on Thursday, July 27.

Hodges played a bogey-free round on the first day, making eight birdies to register a lead in the game. He stretched his lead in the next two rounds and settled with a score of under 20.

The PGA Tour recently shared a throwback video of Hodges and his wife Savannah, in which the duo spoke about their happily married life. The clip was recorded soon after the couple got married and were on their honeymoon.

Technically, Savannah accompanied her husband on a golf tournament at the Work in Maine Open on the Korn Ferry Tour just after getting married in 2021. The couple shared their love story with the producer around that time.

"We were at a high school basketball game and, Savannah was just sitting there. It was...we took off ever since," said Lee.

However, before he could continue further, his wife jumped in between and said:

"Well....I didn't really like you that much at first, but you grew on me."

To which Lee replied:

"It's fine, we're married now."

"Yeah, it all worked out," said Savannah.

Next, the producer asked them:

"Who is the better dancer?"

Lee said:

"Oh, she is. "

Savannah accepted the compliment and said:

"Definitely."

While Lee added:

"I don't dance, yeah. "

The couple also spoke about their wedding day. Lee Hodges said:

"Everything at the wedding went great everybody was there that we wanted to be there. We had a really good time."

"I'm glad that some of the golfers took time off to come to celebrate with us," Savannah added.

Lee Hodges and Savannah Rae Kennedy got married on June 20, 2021, and soon after he turned pro.
