Houston hot streak has Lee on verge of PGA breakthrough

Min Woo Lee's red-hot putter has pushed him four shots clear of the Houston Open field as the Australian eyes a maiden PGA Tour title on the eve of the Masters.

Lee (17 under) cooked up a third-round, seven-under 63 on Saturday (Sunday AEDT) to blow by world No.1 Scottie Scheffler (12 under) - and everyone else - on what had been a crowded leaderboard at Memorial Park.

He almost aced the par-3 9th hole and had just 10 putts in a 10-hole stretch,  before closing out the round with four consecutive pars as he eyes off a breakthrough PGA Tour win just a fortnight out from the Masters at Augusta.
