Min Woo Lee and the art of the touchy little flip

SportLocation Golf Desk · 10 Sept 2026

Min Woo Lee’s best work here is all feel: a tight greenside flip, then the calm of a putt in play-off territory.

Min Woo Lee’s clip is all about the short game. The cleanest moment is the little flip at The Players, where he is set over the ball with the sort of quiet control that turns a messy lie into a makeable chance.

That is the point of the sequence: not brute force, but a precise release from close range. The ball is kept in play, the line is respected, and the shot is given just enough pace to do its job.

Later frames stay in the same lane, with Lee over a putt in play-off context. It keeps the focus on touch under pressure rather than any big-swing theatre.

For a golfer, that is often the difference between a highlight and a recovery. Here, Lee makes the recovery look like the headline.
