Min Woo Lee reflected on his first-round performance at the 2025 Rocket Classic

Min Woo Lee joined the post-round press conference of the Rocket Classic, and he described his first-round experience of playing at the tournament. He added that he was satisfied with his putting, short game, and approach shots. The golfer's words were ( via Tee Scripts.com):

“Putting was nice, short game was nice, approach shot was pretty nice. Driving was good early, got kind of shaky there probably -- normally I would hit driver on 8 but didn't know where the ball was going so I hit iron and made birdie the traditional way. Yeah, everything was pretty solid. I think the putter was working quite nicely though.”

Lee further continued to talk about the Detroit Golf Club course. He said:

“Lots of drivers. Obviously got some length so trying to get it in play, somewhat in play and then attack the greens. We obviously had a bit of a -- a bit of a wet period there the last couple days so it's quite gettable…so it's quite nice to kind of play from the rough…I would rather be on the fairway, but yeah, it's gettable. Conditions were nice in the morning and yeah, took advantage of it.”

Min Woo Lee will start to play the second round of the 2025 Rocket Classic at 12:43 pm ET along with Cam Davis and Wyndham Clark on hole one. Next to them, Keegan Bradley, Collin Morikawa, and Patrick Cantlay will play at 12:54 pm pm the same hole.
