Minjee Lee

Not all wins are the same. And looking at a scorecard can only show the numbers that were required to complete each hole. But, there's a whole backstory ...

She two-putted for birdie at the hole which had been friendly to her all week with two eagles and a birdie over the first three days. In a season that, so far, has been defined by parity, Lee becomes the sixth different veteran to win in 2022. Lee strung together seven consecutive pars and a bogey at the eighth hole to go out in 37 and open the door for a charging Lexi Thompson. The next four weeks will determine not just the best players this season on the LPGA Tour, but also the biggest fighters in the women’s game. Lee closed with a birdie at the last and celebrated the hard fought battle she endured en route to capturing her seventh career win on the LPGA Tour. What Lee did on Sunday at Upper Montclair Country Club in New Jersey was a first for the Aussie, who opened with rounds of 67-63-69 to take a one stroke lead with 18 holes to play.
