Min Woo Lee was back in action last week at the Australian PGA Championship, where he finished T5.

PGA Tour star Lee was among a long list of Australians playing at the tournament at Royal Queensland Golf Club.

David Puig won the Australian PGA Championship, with the LIV Golf ace finishing on 18-under after his four rounds.

He edged out Ding Wenyi by two shots to clinch the Australian PGA Championship title, with Nick Voke and Marc Leishman tying for third on 15-under.

Lee finished his tournament alongside Daniel Hillier on 14-under, and has now issued a message to his fans following the event.

Posting another story, he added: “Few missed opportunities but good to be back in contention. Game is trending. See you soon, Melbourne.”

Min Woo Lee can be quietly confident ahead of the Australian Open

Lee played with Cam Smith at the Australian PGA Championship, with the latter missing the cut at Royal Queensland.

Smith won the event for the third time in his career back in 2022, while Lee secured his first title the following year.

The pair now turn their focus to next week’s tournament, with Lee predicting a strong showing from Smith at the Australian Open.

The field once again includes several Australian hopefuls, but high-profile visitors such as Rory McIlroy and Joaquin Niemann are also set to take on the event.

Royal Melbourne Golf Course plays host to the tournament, which continues the start of the 2026 DP World Tour season.

Will Phil Mickelson be proven correct with his prediction for David Puig?

Lee is taking on the events after a rollercoaster season on the PGA Tour, during which he claimed his first career win.

He triumphed at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, but also suffered five missed cuts from his 19 starts.

But plenty of confidence can be taken into next week from his title and his showing at the Australian PGA Championship, with huge fan support also set to give him a boost.
