Follow us on Google Discover Min Woo Lee has played a crucial role for the International team at the Presidents Cup this week.
The 28-year-old Australian has won two, halved one and lost one of the four matches he has played.
The only game he lost was against Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns in the four-ball matches on Thursday, and he and Sungjae Im really should have won that match.
However, following his opening day defeat, Min Woo bounced back superbly well at the Presidents Cup.
Min Woo Lee is set to face Jacob Bridgeman in the Sunday singles at the Presidents Cup, and the outcome of his match will have a huge bearing on the overall result.
The Internationals have exceeded everyone’s expectations this week, maybe even their own. However, they did make one mistake away from the golf course earlier in the week according to the Australian.

“I think we celebrated last night. That was not that we won or anything, just because we did a really good job,“ he replied.
“We knew that Americans were going to come out firing, and they did. You look at the board this morning, it was a sea of red — sea of red? Well, lots of red.
“A few of us locked in and flipped that, but yes, maybe just — maybe just locking in a little bit more, I guess, and not celebrating. I don’t know. We did a good job.
“Americans are such a good side, so we expected it. Yeah, we trusted each other, and I think we’re happy with where we’re at. Yeah, one more day.“
Judging by Min Woo Lee’s comments, the Internationals celebrated a little bit too early. That said, if you can’t celebrate a clean sweep against the might of the United States of America then what can you celebrate?
