Australian PGA Championship, which got underway at Royal Queensland on Thursday<\/a>, stepped up to the podium to accept the medal on his sister\u2019s behalf, and delivered a roughly one minute speech that had the crowd in stitches.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1763806450_225_poster-fallback.png\"\/)

\u201cWow, the Greg Norman Medal again. Fourth time,\u201d he began.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt this point I should probably just ask them to engrave my name permanently on it so no one else gets their hopes up.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly, I\u2019m starting to feel bad for everyone who had a great season, only to remember I exist. Must be tough.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou grind all year, you work hard. You think this could be my time, and then I roll in like \u2018hey guys, miss me?\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to thank the selection panel for continuing to make excellent choices. Your taste is impeccable. Truly elite.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo my fellow Aussie golfers, keep pushing, keep improving because one day, maybe not soon, maybe one day, you might finish close to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd, of course, shoutout to my team, to my family, and everyone who supports me. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou keep me grounded, which is honestly impressive considering how high above the rest of the field I apparently keep finishing.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyway, I have the best brother ever. Cheers.\u201d <\/p>\n
Heartbreak! Minjee robbed of an Eagle | 00:29<\/p>\n
The stitch-up of a speech would have surely gone down well with the typically humble, Minjee.<\/p>\n
She did provide some of her own words from afar on winning the award that she also claimed in 2018, 2021 and 2023.<\/p>\n
Unlike her brother\u2019s speech, Minjee was quick to deflect away from herself and to the success of the other Australians on the LPGA.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been an extremely satisfying year personally and for the fantastic team around me, and I am thrilled to receive the Greg Norman Medal,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWinning another major was obviously a highlight this year, but watching Grace win her first at Evian was certainly another moment to remember.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no doubt she will be nominated for plenty more awards like this one for years to come.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlaying with Grace, as well as Hannah (Green) and Steph (Kyriacou), and winning the International Crown representing Australia was another high point of a great year, and shows the strength of Australian women on the world stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank everyone in my team for the support and guidance they have given me these past 12 months, all the Aussie fans who follow us each and every week, and the PGA of Australia for this prestigious honour.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Australian superstar Minjee Lee was once again recognised as the nation\u2019s leading golfer after another outstanding year, but…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":311281,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[2620,176369,2095,1724,64,63,689,29465,176371,651,176368,9239,2057,2755,2592,8942,2105,755,176370,1745,29528,24416,176367,29757,29741,176364,176366,5488,136997,2041,2067,677,132140,701,32913,29460,60509,5813,85,29742,176365,3370,2614,2062],"class_list":["post-311280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-agence-france-presse","tag-all-time-speech","tag-america","tag-asia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-australia-and-new-zealand","tag-australian-superstar","tag-awards-ceremony","tag-brisbane","tag-cult-hero-stitches","tag-eastern-asia","tag-europe","tag-florida","tag-france","tag-frisco","tag-getty-images-inc","tag-golf","tag-golf-larrikin","tag-golf-news","tag-grace-kim","tag-greg-norman","tag-jan-stephenson","tag-karrie-webb","tag-ladies-professional-golf-association","tag-leading-golfer","tag-lee-acceptance-speech","tag-min-woo-lee","tag-morning-australian-time","tag-north-america","tag-northern-america","tag-oceania","tag-peter-thomson","tag-queensland","tag-receiving-end","tag-royal-queensland","tag-selection-panel","tag-south-korea","tag-sports","tag-stephanie-kyriacou","tag-superstar-sister","tag-texas","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-western-europe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=311280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/311280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/311281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=311280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=311280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=311280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
