Min Woo Lee

The younger brother of Minjee Lee, a major champion on the LPGA golf scene who came third in the 2020 Women’s British Open at Royal Troon, Min Woo Lee is a winner himself of three DP World Tour titles, two of them in his home country Australia.

The other was the 2022 Scottish Open, which gave him his first major Championship start a week later.

He went into the event ranked 240th in the world and produced a closing 64 containing six successive birdies on the front nine and then beat Matthew Fitzpatrick and Thomas Detry with another birdie at the first extra hole.

Three months later, he was a runner-up to Fitzpatrick at the Andalucia Open and as well as finishing sixth on the Race to Dubai – that guaranteed his St Andrews spot the following summer – he moved into the game’s top 50.

His most recent victory was November’s Australian PGA Championship. As an amateur, he won the 2016 US Junior title, following in the footsteps therefore of four Open champions - Tiger Woods, Jordan Spieth, David Duval and Johnny Miller.

It also came four years after Minjee became US Junior Girls champion and was the first time such a double had been achieved.
