Min Woo Lee is a golfer who is gaining attention after a great win at the Houston Open. The 26-year-old played a great tournament, showed that he can fight with the best golfers in the world, producing various reactions in the public.
After the celebration at the last tournament, the stars of the sports scene sent him congratulations, and one of the greatest music stars, Justin Bieber, talked to him via Face Time, celebrating the victory.
The Australian golfer revealed that he and Bieber are great friends after a chance meeting at a golf event. Min Woo Lee shared a video of their conversation via Instagram.
"He fanboys over me but obviously I'm fanboying over him," Lee said, as quoted by AAP.
"He rips it ... I could say I'm his coach."
The Australian has certainly become a well-known figure on social media, but in order to become such an important factor in the world of golf, it is necessary to win tournaments, and the 26-year-old attracted a lot of reactions with his last victory. He was not delighted with his earlier performances, aware that he must raise his game and catch the rhythm if he really wants to cause reactions from the fans, and at the same time reach popularity on social media.
"You've got to back it up and that's why people don't do it," Lee said.
"There's a lot of 'all talk and no show' and I felt like I kind of got to that stage.
Where there was a lot of talk, but not as good as golf that I could do.
I needed, not a reality check, but a kick in the butt, to get a win or good finish. So I'm glad that happened."
The Players Championship impact
Appearing this year, the young golfer has even four top-20 finishes. Explaining his performances, Lee pointed out that after The Players Championship, where he finished as T20, something clicked in his head, saying that it was indeed an important factor to achieve victory.
After that, the Australian golfer realized that a lot of mental work was necessary. Such an experience greatly shaped his enthusiasm, given that he won the PGA Tour title not long after.
