Minjee Lee is the LPGA’s stealthiest star.
She flies under the radar more than any top player in the women’s game, with a skill set that isn’t as celebrated as it ought to be.
Maybe that’s 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 Monday’s release of the new rankings. That’s right. She has put herself on the cusp of ascending to world No. 1 about as quietly as you can do so.
While there’s respect for Lee’s talent, she hasn’t been in the conversation over who is really the best player in the women’s game.
