However, the Australian golfer had support from renowned actor Dean Norris, who cheered for him during the tournament.

During the second round of the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational, American actor Dean Norris, best known for portraying the character of agent Hank Schrader in the AMC series 'Breaking Bad', watched the tournament and cheered for Woo Lee.

Seeing the golfer's shot, Dean Norris clapped for him and said:

"That's an amazing shot. That right there is the best shot I have seen today."

Min Woo Lee struggled with his game and missed the cut after two rounds at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. He concluded the second round with a birdie on the 18th but it was not enough for him to make the cut owing to his underwhelming outing in the opening round which saw him card three double bogeys.
