Two shots during the final round of the 3M Open — one more majestic than the next — sealed Lee Hodges’ first career PGA Tour victory on Sunday.Both were second-shot approaches on par 5s.The first came on the sixth hole when Hodges, from 253 yards out, laced a ball that landed about two feet clear of the greenside pond and skipped 11 feet past the cup.
