PGA Tour Player Blog: 'Let’s cook'

Australian star Min Woo Lee has become a sensation on and off the course with his swash-buckling brand of golf while entertaining fans on social media with his mantra “Let’s cook”.

It seems like I’m able to go into a different gear when I’m at the big tournaments and hopefully I will rise to the challenge every time.

During the first quarter of 2024, I’ve been rather consistent on the PGA Tour by playing in all four rounds in my first six tournament starts, and the highlight was certainly the tied second finish at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches. It was fun being in contention for my first PGA Tour title, although it was admittedly an uphill battle as I was trying to win from behind in the weather-delayed tournament.

In the end, I was quite happy to take the runner-up finish as it got me into my first Signature Event, the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, in the following week where I finished T44. It was quite a treat to play at Bay Hill which is a challenging test, and in
