Minjee Lee’s resurgent season, highlighted by winning a third major title, has been recognised with a record-extending fourth Greg Normal Medal.<\/p>\n

World number four Lee held off Grace Kim to again claim Australian golf’s highest individual honour at Tuesday’s PGA Awards in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

She previously won the Greg Norman Medal in 2018, 2021 and 2023.<\/p>\n

Jason Day (2015, 2016) and Cameron Smith (2020, 2022) are the only other multiple Greg Norman Medal winners, which was introduced a decade ago.<\/p>\n

In June, Lee became the fourth Australian to claim at least three major titles when she won the Women’s PGA Championship in Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Australian Minjee Lee wins the third golf major of her career, claiming the Women’s PGA Championship by three shots in Texas<\/p>\n

Lee ended a 19-month title drought that saw her drop outside the world’s top 20 for the first time in a decade.<\/p>\n

Kim won her first major in a play-off for the Evian Championship<\/a> a month after Lee’s Texas victory.<\/p>\n

“It has been an extremely satisfying year personally and for the fantastic team around me, and I am thrilled to receive the Greg Norman Medal,” Lee said.<\/p>\n

“Winning another major was obviously a highlight this year, but watching Grace win her first at Evian was certainly another moment to remember.<\/p>\n

“I have no doubt she will be nominated for plenty more awards like this one for years to come.”<\/p>\n

Lee and Kim’s victories marked the first time two Australians had won majors in the same year since 2006, when Karrie Webb and Geoff Ogilvy triumphed.<\/p>\n

Last month, Lee and Kim teamed up with Hannah Green and Steph Kyriacou to win the biennial International Crown for Australia in South Korea.<\/p>\n
