‘Crazy’ golf war won’t cloud Lee’s big goals

GOALS linked closely to the PGA Tour that include emulating his sister’s major victories have ensured rising Australian star Min Woo Lee hasn’t been lured by the wads of cash on offer from Greg Norman’s LIV Golf.

Instead, the 23-year-old, who celebrated Minjee’s US Open win last week with “lots of good food”, is dialled in on taking everything he learnt from his first Masters experience into his own US Open challenge at The Country Club course in Brookline this week.

Min Woo conceded the golf world was “crazy right now” as players, including Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson, who have been banned from the PGA Tour, tee it up in Massachusetts this week off the back of taking in millions of dollars from the first LIV event in London last weekend.

“I’ve just been playing, trying to do as good as I can on the PGA Tour. I know the world is going crazy right now, but I have one job, to play as good as I can on the tour, which is the best,” he said from Massachusetts on Tuesday.

Already a two-time European Tour winner, Min Woo is more accomplished than some of his countrymen who are playing with Norman’s tour.
