The 2x Major champion only wishes to widen her list with more major wins. She said, “Obviously it’s a big year with the Olympics and all the majors. They are always on the top of my priority list, I guess. Always want to be playing well in those and contending.”

With five majors set to commence this year, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity for Lee to grab. Not to forget the third Olympic campaign in Paris, which is another milestone on her list this year. If not the Seri Pak Championship, what is her next target for now?

Minjee Lee has not yet won a single title this year, which has marked a repetition of her journey last year. Having lost to Bailey Tardy at the Blue Bay LPGA Tournament, she tied for the fourth position with Savannah Katarina Grewal and Lydia Ko. With the defeat, Lee is all set to conquer her dreams as the Professional Women’s Golf Majors are to begin with the Chevron Championship next month.

It is scheduled to be held from 18th April to 21st April at The Club at Carlton Woods. Her absence from the Seri Pak Championship could be so that she can focus on taking away the trophy this year from the defending champion Lilia Vu. Will not participating in the Seri Pak Championship turn out to be fruitful for the Australian golfer by getting her closer to her dreams? Stay tuned to find out.
