Minjee Lee reveals what she'll work on ahead of Brooke Henderson clash at 2025 CPKC Women’s Open

Minjee Lee has shared what she would work on at the 2025 finals of the CPKC Women's Open this week. Both Lee and Brooke Henderson are tied in first place after three days of play at a score of 11 under.

Before the final round of the competition on Sunday, Lee shared the things she needed to work on to improve her game and the extra motivation she had to play against her competitor.

“I felt like I was hitting it really solid. You know, like with the score that I had I felt like I left a few out there, so just going to work a bit on my putting afterwards trying to get the speed and the line right, and hopefully exciting Sunday…there was a lot of front pins and felt like they were really slopey, because it was in the front and there were a lot of holes that were downwind,” she said [via ASAP Sports].

She continued, “I think they gave me a little bit of false hope on the third shot. I knew I didn't hit it very good but I knew it was short in my mind. But they didn't clap for me. Overly nice. But, no, I mean, it's really nice to see like lovely crowds. I think we always get really great support from the Canadian people, and they just love the LPGA and love to support obviously Brooke and the women's game. It's really nice to see kids and a lot of fans out and about.”

Minjee Lee finished at 69 in the opening round with one birdie on the front nine and two birdies on the back nine. She fired 67 in the second round with four birdies on the front nine and one birdie on the back nine. She shot 66 in the third round with two birdies on the front nine and two eagles on the back nine.
