Lee using one of three Vokey wedges in the Titleist’s Tour preferred raw finish, to hole out after taking a free drop on the 72nd hole from the controversial advertising wall to earn a playoff place. The Korean then hitting another good chip in the first hole of sudden death to defeat Brooke Henderson and Nelly Korda. Lee’s chipping part of the formula that led to just 24 putts on the final day.
