if you react 1 butene with Br2 + MeOH, do you get a triangle intermediate and then the MeOH attacking less subsituted carbon connected to the Br?

Destroyer 103 solution says the MeOH will attack the more substituted carbon...

can someone please explain?
 
Thank you, so i see it undergoes a similar mechanism as an acid catalyzed epoxide openning. Awesome.
