Let’s take a look at the equipment Minjee Lee used to win the LOTTE Championship.

Minjee Lee used an impressive eight under par 64 on Sunday to close out the competition at the LOTTE Championship. The win vaulted her up to 12th in the Rolex Rankings and put her in the lead position for the Aussie’s 2016 Rio Olympic golf team.

Lee bested her nearest competitors, Katie Burnett and In Gee Chun, by one stroke to take home the victory in a tight 4th round battle that went down to the 72nd hole.

Lee, in only her second year on tour, already has two wins to her credit including the 2015 Kingsmill Championship Presented by JTBC. She has made the cut in every tournament she has attempted this year and has not finished outside the top 40.

Lee played for team Australia in the inaugural International Crown, the only amateur to compete in the event. Her best finish in a women’s major was at the Women’s British Open last year where she recorded a 9th place finish.

Ranked at 7th in ProGolfNow’s Swinging Skirts Power Rankings, Lee will look to break into the top ten in the world rankings this week at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic in San Francisco this weekend.

Lee is the top Australian women’s golfer in the Rolex rankings, taking the top spot ahead of the legend Karrie Webb, who was #1 for more than a decade. Minjee looks like a lock to be on the Olympic team in Rio in 2016. Minjee is one of the rising stars right now on the LPGA Tour. Look for some more top five finishes including more wins and probably a major championship title in her young career.

Now let’s take a look at what tools she uses to make all those exciting shots.
