ABOUT GOLF DIGEST
Home of the Hot List, Golf Digest +, news and trends, Golf Digest is the definitive destination for all things golf.

I would definitely make the better caddy no definitely not he he cadd for me when he was little and he got sa yeah when I was like 12 I was doing cartwheels while catting for the Australian Amer or something but now after like three holes he was

Done but yeah you’ll just be like yeah yeah yeah blah blah blah I was a great Cy at the par three uh the master thing yeah you hit it better than me on the par Three how about a chipping comp before you go all righty let’s go who hits the first shot do I hit yeah you hit major Champion hits oh nice shot oh it’s in oh it all right all right some chicken chicken in between there sit I think I got you that was

Average there’s obviously just a natural pecking order in the family who wants the the the glory when I see M do well there’s a big chance that M’s going to do well not far after that so I think Min won Scottish open and then Mii won

The major the next week so that’s says no more my career has been great I mean I’ve really enjoyed the journey there’s been you know tough roads but also over the last you know 6 months the results have been I couldn’t probably have asked for anything

More stting well out to the right try to turn it back it’s a good looking golf shot you Are for myself I don’t just want to be a good golfer I want to be you know the best I’ve always had that mentality but yeah probably this year when I’ve playing been playing really good and been versing the you know the top guys in the world and and doing really well I

Yeah start to realize that I’m pretty good at this game 5 years ago he was he was not capable of um being a world top 30 player but what we’re seeing is that the more the pressure comes on the more more people are around the more he’s the

Center of attention the better he gets and you know what a great skill to have that’s probably the greatest skill you can have so we always knew he had the ability but did he have the mental strength and the mental capacity we didn’t probably think he

Did we’re finding now that as he gets older and he gets a bit more into it he’s he’s exceptionally capable he could be a a five time major we he could be someone who ends up selling tees at the local golf Club at the moment it could

Be the next anything and I’m I’m pretty comfortable with where it’s [Applause] at what does let him cook mean to let him cook is a phrase that went crazy probably in the last 6 months he’s cooking and he’s got the Thunder clamp going as well he’s got them up and are you not entertained look at mem [Applause]

Go it just means like let him do his thing he’s he’s cooking it has kicked off over the last probably year I’ve gained I don’t know 200 300,000 followers just from the last 6 months to a year and that’s I think it’s a nearly helped you know this support has been unbelievable and

There’s a little bit of pressure doing the social media because you got to back it up and I have been and just let him cook just let him do his thing and hopefully he does well this is going to be my 10th year on

Tour so I kind of know the ropes now so it’s not as um it’s not as frightening and not as um daunting as it was when I was a rookie I personally haven’t reached my full potential and I am constantly working towards that I’m constantly trying to improve my my shortterm goal

Is world number one I think the sky is the limit My ultimate goal in my career is to be in the Hall of Fame I have a little ways to go but that would be the highest honor for me she’s done so much for golf already like Australian golf so many girls and

So many women play just because of her ceiling’s high for her any tournament she’s up in the lead and she wins there’s a little tear in my eye just to you know she’s worked so hard and she’s one I think 10 times but she’s come

Close a like a lot of times too so it’s it’s quite nice to see her hard work pay off 126 m to the pin into the wind NP okay nearest the penny nearest to the pinny oh no that could come back hit the green that’s good it’s on the

Green that went way longer than went what I thought there’s like no wind I know think all right bro you got to beat that reverse psychology reverse you needs to be a smoothie cuz there’s there’s like no wind be [Applause] short flushed has a big so you’re always going

To be protective of the only ceiling that you have so it’s probably your first like super official year um so it’s probably going to be like the busiest year so I think maybe just like watch out for like getting burnt out or you know playing too many events

Like I’m I know he would want to play everything but um you know you still have to look after your physical and your mental health there’s been a great motto over the last couple years to just stay happy and eat good food and do all the things that you want to and if

You’re happy on off the course then you’ll probably play good on the course so she can give me like bills and house advice not not not really golf but more like they come every quarterly so okay I got that thanks I’ll write that down oh well done good job

  1. bloodshot eyes…min woo is living the life if you know what i mean *wink *wink *nudge *nudge
    on a separate and completely unrelated matter, is there Australian pineapple express?

  2. That comparison of Minjee's approach stats is one of the crazier reality checks I have had recently. Absolute stick.

  3. Cool to see. But I think they should’ve sorted out the intro for Minjee’s worldwide wins. Not 4. More like 10 or more.
