The Australian golfer is popularly known among his fans for his phrase "Let him Cook." However, that is not something related to cooking. In one of his interviews with Australian Golf Digest in 2024, he revealed the secret behind the origin of the phrase:

“’Let him cook’ is usually said when you’re playing COD [Call of Duty] in a five-vs-five-person game and one person is left. If someone’s in the background telling him what to do, someone else says, ‘No, just let him cook. Let him do his thing.'”

Lee has been having an incredible time this season on the PGA Tour.
