After an incredible last hole at the Australian Open on Friday, hot Aussie Min Woo Lee shot to the top of the leaderboard with a sublime 64.
One of the greatest eagles you will ever see helped Lee, who just won the Australian PGA Championship last week, shoot seven-under in the second round.
In the 18th hole, the 25-year-old rising star hit a 173-meter nine iron to within a foot of the flag, but he smoked his second shot off the pine straw. He made an eagle sound.
“You’re kidding me, give up! “Min Woo Lee, try to catch him,” Fox Sports commentator Warren Smith stated.
The world of golf was in awe of the epic shot, and many people praised the amazing effort on social media.
Regarding his incredible final shot, Lee remarked, “I saw the coverage and it spun left towards the hole and nearly actually went in, so really happy with that finish.”
“Making an eagle on any given hole is always nice, but it’s even more satisfying on the final hole.”
“You play well sometimes and poorly other times, but right now I’m playing well and enjoying myself. We don’t often get to play.
I’m taking it all in because I enjoy being among this kind of crowd here in Australia.
Nobody has completed the Australian PGA and Open double in the previous twelve years.
However, Lee’s game is so captivating that it would be difficult to wager against the 25-year-old breaking Greg Chalmer’s 2011 record.
