If you look at Lee's left hand, he was a lot like Dustin Johnson today. He started his backswing by setting an immediate strong bow in his left wrist, then he held it very tight and ripped his body through the shot. Very effective. He could put incredible spin on the ball, and although he preferred a fade, he could draw the ball easily.  He was an amazing artist with the short irons.

@blackkow87 Agreed. Only in rare years where the weather is really really bad is the british harder than the US Open.

He must have the best timing and hand-eye coordination in history with that swing..Amazing, it looks like the swing of an average joe at any old golf course. HUGE head dip..

@golfmaniac007 For Americans maybe. (I Take it your US, as we call The Open, The Open, not The Britsh!). I'd say for Europeans it's 1.The Open 2.The Masters 3.The Open 4.PGA (FAR BEHIND!).

If I was a pro I think Id see The Open, US Open and Masters as all pretty equal. But you can't dispute The Open has the history and some would say best courses. The Masters can be a bit of a putting comp, but Augusta is special. The US Open is the toughest challenge. The PGA is just a major in name

@mrmarcgolf and lee was one on the purest flighters of the ball mate, solid contact regardless of what it looks like.
