Minjee Lee won her third major on Sunday after emerging victorious at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
And her brother, Min Woo Lee, reacted to her success immediately after finishing his round at the Travelers Championship.
Minjee Lee shot a final round 74 to win by three strokes over Auston Kim and Chanettee Wannasaen.
She is extremely close with her younger brother.
Back in April, Min Woo said that Minjee’s putting has been much improved recently, and she was incredibly solid on the greens all week at Fields Ranch East.
The 29-year-old was ranked 1st in strokes gained putting at the Women’s PGA Championship.

The Australian, 26, has a PGA Tour win to his name already this year, after his victory at the Texas Children’s Houston Open back in March.
This weekend though, it was Minjee’s turn.
And Min Woo could not have been happier for her.
And after his final round 72 at the Travelers Championship, he reacted to his sister’s win over in Texas.
Min Woo said: “Yeah, I called it a couple months ago that she was going to win, and that’s very — hopefully she gets it done on the last hole. But, yeah, it’s nice to be a major and her game is built for the majors, she’s very solid and her mental side is one of the best I’ve ever seen. So mix that in with some good putting and good short game and, yeah, she’s going to win. So, no, it’s very exciting to see her back in the winner’s circle and I’m very proud of her.“
He was then asked what impresses him most about his sister.
The PGA Tour star said: “Just the way she carries herself on the golf course. She’s very level headed and she, you know, you I always say she’s a robot, she is, she doesn’t make that many mistakes, and she just goes along with her business, so it’s very cool to see that it pays off and, yeah, she’s had a really successful year, so a successful career, I would say, so it’s really cool.“
Minjee Lee becomes the only female golfer to win three majors since 2020
The 29-year-old is building quite the resume.
She now has three majors to her name – all since 2020.
Minjee won the Evian Championship in 2021, The U.S. Women’s Open in 2022 and was victorious at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship this week.
She has a fantastic all-round game, and with her improved putting now, there’s every chance that she could go on and dominate for years to come.
Congratulations Minjee on a fantastic win at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
