Min Woo Lee has an electric factory.
The 25-year old Australian is on track to complete the Aussie Double, as he leads the ISPS Handa Australian Open with three shots going into the weekend. He won the Australian PGA Championship last week.
Lee shot a 7-under-64 on Friday at The Australian Golf Club, Sydney. He also had a tap-in-eagle for his final hole. Lee, playing from the pine straw on his closing hole, hit a draw that landed over the water and spun towards the hole. He had an easy putt for the last eight holes of 6 under.

Lee is currently at 12 under par for the tournament, and sits three shots in front of Scotland’s Connor Syme as well as American Patrick Rodgers.
Lee stated that “it’s nice to have an eagle at any time, but it’s nicer when you make one on the last green.” “I never thought we would be able to beat the crowds of last week, but we are very close. It’s incredible.” It’s a lot of fun. “I’m happy to say that most of my golf was really good due to the crowd.
Adam Scott and Cam Smith share the 27th spot at 4 under. Smith missed last week’s cut at the Australian PGA where he had been the defending champion.
After a round of 4-under-68, South Korea’s Jiyai shine holds a 2-shot lead over South Africa’s Ashleigh Buhai.
