Min Woo Lee eyes Australian Open triumph ahead of summer
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 28 Oct, 22:15 · Archive
Min Woo Lee is preparing for the Australian Open at Kingston Heath in early December, five weeks away, hoping a victory will boost his bid for major championships in 2027.
Min Woo Lee is targeting the Australian Open at Kingston Heath in Melbourne from December 3-6, five weeks away, as a potential launchpad for major championship success in 2027. The 28-year-old has returned from a stellar PGA Tour season with six top-10 finishes, including two seconds, a third and a fourth at the season-ending Tour Championship, though he fell short of capturing a second PGA Tour title.
Lee already won the Australian PGA Championship in 2023 and hopes to complete a rare career double of the Australian summer majors. He cites the examples of Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth, who won the Australian Open in 2013 and 2015 respectively and each went on to win two major championships the following year.
'It's a big deal,' Lee said. 'If we play great there, win a trophy there, it does give you a great mindset going into 2027, and you are a bit more freer and if we play freer, we all play good.' Lee withdrew from last week's Indian Open with back spasms and illness but his motivation remains undiminished.
