Minjee Lee is the LPGAs stealthiest star.She flies under the radar more than any top player in the womens game, with a skill set that isnt as celebrated as it ought to be.Maybe thats about to change.With her victory Sunday at the Hugel-Air Premia LA Open, Lee is expected to climb to Rolex World No. 2 in Mondays release of the new rankings. Thats right. She has put herself on the cusp of ascending to world No. 1 about as quietly as you can do so.How much will she be driven to go all the way to the top?Being that close, it's in the back of my mind, but I'm not going to dwell too much on it, Lee said. Just, obviously, going to try my best every week, and, hopefully that will happen one day.While theres respect for Lees talent, she hasnt been in the conversation over who is really the best player in the womens game. With so much focus on Jin Young Kos ascendance this year, with Nelly Korda off to such a terrific start, and with Sung Hyun Park, Ariya Jutanugarn, Brooke Henderson and Lexi Thompson getting so much attention for their big games and with Inbee Park still a factor, Lee has toiled in the shadows.Not Sunday.Not in the City of Angels, not in the shadow of tinsel town, not with a primetime Golf Channel finish.And now Lee will take winning momentum to San Francisco and this weeks LPGA Mediheal Championship, where she nearly won last year, falling to Lydia Ko in a playoff.Coming into the first part of the year, Ive been hitting it pretty solid, Lee said. I felt like it was close. I feel pretty good with this one.
Full-field scores from the Hugel-Air Premia LA Open
Lee won on one of the tours newest venues but most venerable courses. She showed her versatility winning at Wilshire Country Club, once host to the PGA Tours L.A. Open.Lee isnt flashy, outspoken or controversial. She doesnt seek a lot of attention. For climbing so high in the world rankings, she also hasnt won a lot, with Sundays title her fifth LPGA victory. Still, she has shown an ability to consistently contend. She has five second-place finishes in the last year, going back to that playoff loss at the Mediheal. This was just her second title in the last two-and-a-half years. Still, shes only 22 and still trying to build a major championship resume. She has just three top-10 finishes in her 25 major championship starts, but shes learning to put all the pieces of her game together.They came together at Wilshire.With Sundays 3-under-par 68, Lee was the only player to shoot four rounds in the 60s. At 14 under overall, she was four shots better than runner-up Sei Young Kim (66).Kim was five shots back of Minjee with six holes to go and made a charge, making back-to-back birdies at the 13th and 14th to gets within two shots after Lee bogeyed 11th, but she couldnt get closer.Lee was solid the rest of the way.
