Min Woo Lee jokes about hearing 'Let Him Cook' in a French accent at the Olympics - "Love words"

Min Woo Lee, one of the two players representing Australia in the men's golf competition at the 2024 Paris Olympics, recently joked about hearing 'Let Him Cook' in a French accent while playing. The second round concluded on Friday, August 2, at Le Golf National in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France.

On the 151-yard 16th hole of the second round, Lee almost scored a hole-in-one. An X/Twitter user shared the video of his shot and captioned the post:

"“Let Him Cook” in a French accent is 10x better. Min Woo nearly jarred it in response too."

The Australian Golfer quoted the tweet and wrote:

"My ball was headed towards the water and then it heard the love words. Nearly a Hole in One."

He scored a birdie on the hole. After a disappointing first round, Min Woo Lee made a comeback in the second. He scored two birdies against three bogeys and two double bogeys in the first round. He scored 5-over 76 in the round.

In the second round, the 26-year-old scored five birdies on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 9th holes against one bogey on the par-4 7th of the front nine. On the back nine, he scored three birdies on the 14th, 16th, and 17th holes against a bogey on the par-4 10th. He scored 6-under 65, the second-lowest round of the day.

After 36 holes, Min Woo Lee has an aggregate score of 1-under 141 and is tied at 35th. He'll need to continue his performance in the second round to get closer to winning a medal for his country.

His compatriot Jason Day is currently tied at 13th with 5-under 137. Xander Schauffele, Tommy Fleetwood, and Hideki Matsuyama are tied for the first position with a score of 11-under 131.
