The 27-year-old is now an established PGA Tour player, but remains outside the very top tier of the game. Currently ranked 31st in the world, Lee knows there is still a gap between himself and the elite.
And he has now revealed what he wants to learn from world number one Scottie Scheffler and world number two Rory McIlroy . Min Woo Lee knows what he must improve to reach Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy level Lee admitted he has often looked at Scheffler and McIlroy when searching for ways to improve his own game. “Yeah, for sure.
I did tell myself sometimes, when I wasn’t playing well, that I should sit down and see how they hit it on the range,” he said. While he has not always been able to do that, he recognises the key traits that set them apart. “I didn’t get to that, but I know they’re very repetitive with their work,” Lee added.
“They do the boring stuff really well, and that’s something that I always needed to get better at as a young kid. “Especially when you’re out here trying to contend and be a better player, you just have to do the boring stuff really well. ” That level of control and reliability is something he believes both Scheffler and McIlroy have mastered.
