Min Woo Lee played one of the best shots of his life and then donned a chef’s hat to play crowd-pleaser in a career highlight Australian PGA Championship win.
A bogey on the last dropped him to 20-under for the tournament, but the West Australian’s fourth career win had been all but sealed by a brilliant chip-in from 50 metres for eagle on the ninth on Sunday.
That put four shots between him and nearest rival Rikuya Hoshino (67, 68, 64, 68) at the turn who ended up three behind in second place at 17-under.
A bogey on the 10th was a rare blip, with Lee (64, 66, 66, 68) again chipping within a metre of the 12th to reinstate the buffer and cap a dominant week at Brisbane’s Royal Queensland.
There were certainly no signs of nerves after he got up-and-down for par on the 17th.
Lee donned a chef’s hat in a nod to his ‘Let Him Cook’ motto, leading a clap with the crowd then running to the 18th tee to drill his tee shot down the middle of the fairway.
