Minjee Lee Poised to Win Maiden Australian Open, Says Brother ...

Put your money on Minjee Lee to win a maiden Australian Open this week. That’s the bold call from her brother, newly minted Australian PGA champ Min Woo Lee, who believes that sibling rivalry could propel Minjee to victory in Sydney. Minjee’s recent triumph at the BMW Championship, her second win of the year, earned her the prestigious Greg Norman Medal and came just a week after Min Woo’s dominant win at the Macau Open, making it a sensational month for the Lee siblings. Furthermore, in 2021, Minjee’s victory in the Evian Championship came just two weeks after Min Woo’s triumph in the Scottish Open.

Both superstar golfers will be participating in the dual-gender Australian Open, and Min Woo noted that Minjee has overcome her earlier struggles with putting ‘yips’ and could be on track for another victory. He jokingly remarked that it seems like every time he wins, she follows with a win the following week. Min Woo’s wish is for them both to win titles, either himself next week or for Minjee to claim the victory, providing them with a memorable Christmas and New Year's break.
