Min Woo Lee urges fans to support sister Minjee Lee at the Chevron Championship

Min Woo Lee is showing support to his sister, Minjee Lee, as she competes in the Chevron Championship. This tournament has high stakes, as it is the first major of the year in women's golf.

Lee currently finds herself in T12, three points off the leads with two rounds to go. She shot a round of 69 in the second round of the Chevron Championship.

Min Woo Lee emphasized his support for his sister in an Instagram story, urging fans to support her in her bid to win the title. He posted a selfie on his Instagram stories, along with a message that read:

"Speaking of Houston, my sister is out there this week for the Chevron Championship, which is a Major. Show her some love. Let Her Cook🧑‍🍳 @lpga_tour"

The LPGA's official Instagram page also reposted this story. Minjee Lee has 13 professional wins to her name, including two major championships. Her best result at the Chevron Championship came in 2017, when she finished T3.

The 'Let her cook' phrase in Min Woo Lee's message has its own story. This phrase became part of his vocabulary thanks to the game Call of Duty. The golfer explained the story to Golf Digest last year by saying:

"'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.”
