Overview
- Woodland won Sunday at Memorial Park with a closing 67 to reach 21-under 259, taking the Texas Children’s Houston Open by five over Nicolai Hojgaard.
- It is his first PGA Tour title since the 2019 U.S. Open and it also secures an invitation to the Masters in two weeks.
- The 41-year-old recently disclosed a PTSD diagnosis tied to his 2023 brain surgery and said going public made him feel “1,000 pounds lighter.”
- He wiped away tears on the 18th as wife Gabby hugged him while fans chanted his name, and playing partners Hojgaard and Min Woo Lee stayed back to let him have the moment.
- A switch back to stiffer iron shafts and a new alignment-focused putter preceded a week of elite ball speed and control, and the win strengthens his access to upcoming top PGA Tour events.
