Shane Lowry and Wyndham Clark, both well-recognized for their prowess around the green on the PGA Tour, have found themselves in awe of another player’s exceptional chipping skills. This revelation comes as a surprise, given that Lowry’s mastery in handling any shot with a wedge is well-documented, and his second-place finish to Rory McIlroy at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am only solidifies his place among the top 20 players globally.
Similarly, Wyndham Clark, the 2023 US Open champion, has started the 2025 season on a high note, particularly distinguishing himself with his performance around the greens. However, another player’s extraordinary skills have left these two seasoned champions astonished.
The player who has stunned these major champions is none other than Min Woo Lee, the rising star from Australia. The Bay’s recent victory over Jupiter Links in TGL saw Lowry and Clark play significant roles. Still, it was Lee’s stunning chipping display that stole the show. As Lee chipped in early during the match and another chip nearly made it to the hole, Clark and Lowry were left spellbound by the 26-year-old’s finesse.
Post-match, when Clark and Lowry were questioned if there’s any player they’d prefer for a chip shot, Clark admitted considering taking lessons from Lee, while Lowry confessed his underestimation of Lee’s chipping talent. Clark expressed his amazement at Lee’s skills, terming it as ‘unbelievable.’
Enthusiasts have been eagerly waiting for Lee to ascend the next step in his career, and his current performance indicates that a PGA Tour win isn’t far off. Lee, who won the Scottish Open on the DP World Tour in 2021, has long been considered one of the most thrilling players to watch. Not to mention, his driving distance averaging over 320 yards ranks him seventh on the PGA Tour at the year’s start.
Lee’s recent performance has not only highlighted his chipping skills but also underlined his potential to secure future PGA Tour victories. Indeed, if Lee continues to hone his abilities and brings all elements of his game together, a PGA Tour win seems to be on the horizon.
