Three weeks ago, Minjee Lee won her third major fashionable championship highlighted in the KPMG women’s PGA Championship at Fields Ranch East in PGA Frisco. it was a victory that removed the doubt This had been following Lee since her terrible Sunday in the 2024 women’s US Open and proved the process that led her to a long place and, finally, Major no. 3.
Asked what was another for him in the big photo after a big victory that broke a tie with many current stars, including Nelly Korda, Lee would not look out of the way. She just smiled and said Evian was what was next.
With her victory in Frisco now in the rear mirror, Lee arrived at The Amundi Evian Championship At the Golf Club Evian Resort in France and fired a round of 5th Nine 66 to throw in early quarrels. She was punched early in round 2, making three bogeys and a double in her first six holes, but she played her last 12 holes in 5 under the war and give herself a chance to Major no.
“I definitely feel like I have another mentality and maybe a little different fire on me after KPMG,” Lee said on Saturday. “I definitely have a little different motivation, I think, coming out of that victory. So, yes, I just feel like I’m in a really good position now and, you know, can follow tomorrow.”
The third major victory of Minjee Lee, in the KPMG Women’s PGA, had a hidden meaning
Lee has already occupied Evian Resort before. In 2021, Lee entered the last round following seven blows, but shot one last round 64 and beat Jeongeun Lee6 in a play off to win her first big career.
Sunday will have a different feeling for Lee, but those memories can only serve her as she seems to win back-to-back diplomas and become the first player to reach the four-maid sign since Inbee Park did this 12 years ago.
Lee’s march to Major No. 4 will have many obstacles on Sunday, including world No.2 Jeeno Thitikul, who will begin the day linked to Lee on 10 under the PAR.
The 22-year-old star is still looking for her first major championship. In last month’s PGA championship in KPMG, Thiticul held the lead with 36 holes, but observed as Lee spent it on a hot hot weekend in North Texas.
Return to a quarrel once again in a major, Thitikul believes it is now more appropriate to treat the big Sunday championship boiler than it has been in previous efforts.
“I think especially the Majes should be on the difficult Sunday, as in every major – you have to have a really strong thought that will (treat) the weekend. Tomorrow I know there will be a lot of people following it, so I’m trying to be the one, too, who is trying to make many birds there.”
Playing with Lee, who best last month in Frisco, will add to the pressure Sunday in France. But it is a pressure that thiticul seems to be handled. World no. 2 has said earlier that if she does not win a major in her career, she will be okay. She loves golf and her main purpose, like her Explained for our Dylan dethierIt was to help give her family a better life. She has already done it. This perspective, along with its previous grade of the great, narrow championship, should help in her stay As the pressure increases on Sunday.
“I think it will definitely be a lot of thoughts that go, struggling in my mind, but I think you definitely stay patient and then try to keep it as shot by the goal is the most important,” Thitikul said.
In a course where chasers can bloom, Sunday at the Amundi Evian championship will have many characters calling for the fourth big title of the year. But all eyes will be in Lee and Thitikul, two of the game superstars that dueli in the final part. One will be looking for its first taste of great victory, one that can potentially open the floods. The other will be looking for a victory that will put it in a completely different stratosphere and incorporate it closer to its “ultimate goal” to become a LPGA fame hall (it currently has 14 points).
