Australian golf star Min Woo Lee has named his three favourite golf swings currently on the PGA Tour – and his answer comes as no surprise.

There have been some beautiful swings grace the PGA Tour over the years, with Rory McIlroy and prime Tiger Woods two excellent examples of technical brilliance.

Looking back further, Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan both had classical golf swings, which would’ve no doubt stood the test of time.

However, there’s one player currently on tour who is consistently praised for his technique.

Adam Scott, unsurprisingly, is the man Min Woo Lee instantly named when asked by golf journalist Dan Rapaport about his golf swing.

He explained: “I’d say, Adam Scott, that’s the first one that came into my head.”

However, Lee was quick to name his compatriot Jason Day and four-time major winner McIlroy as two further swings he loves to watch.

He added: “Jason [Day] as well. Obviously, Rory [as well].”

Lee isn’t the first player to laud Scott’s swing. Speaking in 2022, McIlroy claimed he could watch the Aussie swing a golf club all day long.

“Yeah, anyone could watch Adam Scott swing all day long,” he explained. “He’s got a nice rhythm.”

Adam Scott needs his technique to start firing at this week’s Canadian Open

Despite being lauded for his impeccable technique, Scott desperately needs to land a top-ten finish at this week’s Canadian Open.

The Aussie is currently teetering on the edge of the world’s top 60 and has entered into U.S. Open qualifying on June 3 – typically dubbed the longest day in golf.

Should Scott fail to perform at Hamilton Golf and Country Club, there’s every chance of the 2013 Masters champion missing out on the year’s third major at Pinehurst No.2 altogether.

As a result, the Aussie would see his remarkable 23-year record of consecutive major championship appearances come to an end.
