In the world of golf, The Players Championship is one of the most prestigious events on the calendar. It is a tournament that draws in the world’s top players, all vying for a chance to win the massive $15 million purse. For one young Australian golfer, Min Woo Lee, this year’s tournament represents the biggest day of his life.
Lee, the brother of two-time major champion Minjee, has been turning heads with his impressive play at TPC Sawgrass in Florida. After a spectacular third-round effort, Lee found himself tied for the lead heading into the final round of the tournament.
As he prepares for the biggest day of his life, Lee is acutely aware of the challenge that lies ahead. He will have to bridge a two-shot gap on world No.2 Scottie Scheffler, who currently sits at 14-under. Another Australian, Cameron Davis, is also in the hunt after a birdie on his final hole left him on outright third at 10-under.
