Graeme McDowell 5-iron smooths out rough run by winning OHL Classic at Mayakoba

Graeme McDowell ended one of his worst years with one of his best shots.

Fortunate to even get into a playoff, McDowell ended it quickly with a 5-iron that grazed the edge of the cup on the 18th hole and settled 3 feet away for a birdie to win the OHL Classic at Mayakoba yesterday.

“‘I hit as good of a 5-iron as I could hit,” McDowell said.
