Lee Hodges is on the brink of achieving a lifelong dream. The professional golfer is heading into the final round of the 3M Open with a five-shot lead, putting him in prime position to win his first PGA Tour victory.
Hodges, who has been playing professionally since 2014, has come close to winning on the PGA Tour before. He has finished in the top 10 in several events, including the 2018 Wells Fargo Championship and the 2019 RBC Heritage. But he has yet to break through and secure that elusive first victory.
The 3M Open could be the tournament that changes all of that. Hodges has been in control all week, shooting a course-record 62 in the first round and following it up with a 65 and a 66 to take a commanding lead into the final round.
Hodges is no stranger to success. He won the 2017 Web.com Tour Championship and has earned over $2 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour. But a win on the PGA Tour would be a career-defining moment for Hodges and would likely open up even more opportunities for him in the future.
The 3M Open is Hodges’ chance to make history. He has a five-shot lead heading into the final round and is in prime position to make his dream of winning on the PGA Tour a reality. It will be an exciting day of golf as Hodges looks to make history and secure his first PGA Tour victory.
