Golfer out to claim Australian Open-PGA double in same yearRising star and Rikuya Hoshino share the lead at Australian Open
Min Woo Lee is feeling typically nonchalant about his chances of joining golf royalty with a popular Australian Open triumph in Sydney. Lee conjured some last-hole magic for the second day running to set up another final-round duel with Japan’s Rikuya Hoshino and remain on track to complete a golden summer double on Sunday.
Golf’s new fan-favourite produced a brilliant sand-save birdie at the 18th to send spectators into a frenzy and Lee back to the top of the leaderboard after Saturday’s third round. Lee’s roller-coaster one-under-par 70 was in stark contrast to his dazzling 64 on Friday, which he iced with a tap-in eagle at the 18th.
