First, Lee became the first player in TGL history to make two shots from off the green that directly went into the hole. He achieved the distinction after he chipped in from just under 25 feet on the sixth hole. Talking about it, he said (via ASAP Sports):

"Yeah, obviously it's nice to get a win and hit some good shots. Probably hit one of the best shots of my life from that rough, so that's quite cool. Hopefully I can do that on the course this week."
