Min Woo Lee is on quite a roll.

The brother of LPGA player, Minjee Lee, took some time to get established as a pro, but now he appears to be on a promising path.

Lee seemingly came out of nowhere after a middling 2021 to win the abdrn Scottish Open, a Rolex Series event on the DP World Tour filled with big names who were preparing for the next week’s Open Championship.

The Aussie fended off Thomas Detry and Matt Fitzpatrick in a playoff and edged out Lucas Herbert, Ian Poulter, and Ryan Palmer by one, and Jon Rahm by two in regulation. Not bad for your first DP World Tour win.

Lee followed with a T-12th and three more top-10s to close the year, including T-2nd at the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucia Masters, where Fitzpatrick got the best of Lee this time.

Lee picked up in 2022 where he left off by earning T-4th at the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship and adding a respectable T-35th at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship against a strong field.

Lee broke into the top 50 in the Official World Golf Rankings early in the year, though he’ll need a decent finish to hop back in after falling to 51st.

Trying to learn three different courses at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is a tall task. Fortunately, Lee debuted here last year, so he got a glimpse at Pebble and Spyglass Hill. He’ll still need to acclimate to Monterey Peninsula, though that’s often the easiest course of the three.

Lee’s top finish in the U.S. in limited opportunities is T-28th at the 2021 WGC-Workday Championship.

In 2021, Lee was 12th on the DP World Tour in driving distance (310.33 yards). Unfortunately, his length won’t be too useful off the tee, though it can come into play attacking the par-5s.

I’m not expecting Lee to win this week, but I wouldn’t be surprised if more PGA Tour fans got to know his name.
