'Cooking too hard': Aussie star's pre-Masters injury
Rising Aussie golf star Min Woo Lee will play The Masters despite breaking his finger in the gym last week.
The 25-year-old revealed the injury when speaking to media after playing a practice round at Augusta National this week alongside countrymen Adam Scott, Jason Day, and Cameron Smith.
Lee was rated a $71 chance to win golf’s flagship event with Australian bookmaker Sportsbet on Wednesday morning – but it’s unknown whether his broken digit was factored into those odds.
“So I went to the doctor and I thought it was OK because I could move it. It was just red. I thought it would be fine. Then they came in and said, ‘you’ve broken it’.”
Lee has also been battling a flu, but will take his place in the 89-player Masters field when the tournament begins Thursday night (AEST).
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 Masters.
