Lee sees upside despite ‘freak’ injury in PGA defence

Min Woo Lee has explained how a “freak” injury suffered in bed meant he couldn’t bend to read his putts during his *********** PGA Championship title defence.

The popular 2014 winner was on the cut line in the abbreviated, three-round event but responded with a five-under 66 on Sunday to finish seven-under for the tournament.

“I hurt my knee at the beginning of the week, so I couldn’t bend down and I still don’t have the confidence to bend down,” he said.

“That’s a reason I was a little flat for the first few days.

“It was just a freak accident. I literally just turned in bed and something popped.

“It’s getting a lot better but to read putts, I couldn’t bend down so I was half kneeling.

“When something happens you just don’t have the full trust in it yet, but I’m slowly getting to that.

“I can still swing a club at whatever miles per hour but I can’t bend down, which is really astonishing. It’s a good injury I guess.”

Lee shot out of the blocks on Thursday with five early birdies before struggling in the rain-hit tournament.

But confident his knee ******* will subside, he was able to take some positives out of Sunday’s performance that included just one blemish among six birdies.

“To find something … is good stuff going into next week,” Lee said as he looked ahead to the *********** Open, which starts on Thursday at the Kingston Heath and Victoria golf clubs.

“Not much is wrong with my game. I just need to keep my head up high, and keep playing good golf.”
