At the TOUR Championship on Thursday, Min Woo Lee shot a first-round 8-under-par 62 to lead by 2 shots over several players, including Collin Morikawa and Chris Gotterup.
But so much of his success could be tied to a decision he made earlier in the week when he went through a blind iron testing process in hopes of finding success with his ball striking.
It appears that the testing and switch paid off because he hit 16/18 greens during round one and gained 1.318 strokes approaching the greens. It also helped that he gained 2.517 shots on the green.
For more details on the switch you check out the video below.
