But he was also quick to call home to his parents to celebrate with them.

Hodges face-timed his mother and asked, “What was your blood pressure?” referring to his anxiety-building final round! His mother replied, “Little heart palpitations; we’ve all been taking our blood pressure and our beats per minute.”

She told him that they were so anxious during the game that they cleaned the entire house. His mother further laughed and said to Lee that his father was so overjoyed to see Lee win that he did a “cannonball” at home. “We are proud of you,” she added, undoubtedly beaming with joy!

The PGA Tour shared the clip of his call on Instagram, and it went viral! Hodges’ heartwarming gesture had fans from all over the world praising him and showering him with love!

One fan admired his margin lead: “And after all that he ended up winning by six,” while another congratulated him on his win, “Congratulations way to play !👏👏👏👏🔥”.

There were also lots of heart emojis “❤️” for the golf pro in the comments, and he undoubtedly deserved all of them, especially after his record-breaking win!

Lee Hodges takes home his first PGA Tour victory at the 3M Open

Hodges took home the first prize of $1.404 million yesterday. With this spectacular win, Hodges has not only earned his first PGA Tour victory, but he has also marked his name in the rare history of the Tour.

In 2019, Chez Reavie held the 54-hole lead by 5 strokes at the Travelers Championship and won, which was immediately followed by Nate Lashley at the Rocket Mortgage Classic just next week with the same lead and victory. And after 4 years, last week Brian Harman maintained a 54-hole lead of 5 strokes and made a big win. And now Hodges has done the same and joined the elite cohort.

Following his victory, Hodges said, “It’s just a dream week, the whole thing. I mean, I played honestly; from Monday to Sunday, I played really good golf, even in practice rounds.” He was undoubtedly proud of what he had pulled off, and so was the entire golf world!
