Finishing 9th on the Race to Dubai ranking, Lee now awaits the commencement of the championship. Moreover, Lee will star in Tiger Woods’ TGL starting in January 2024.

Before the official rounds, the DP World Tour Championship has started the practice and Pro-Am sessions. Rory McIlroy was also spotted in partnership with rugby player Johnny Sexton. Meanwhile, it is unknown who Lee partnered with.

However, the fantastic shots he took were made public to the fans. The DPWT official X handle shared Lee hitting a phenomenal shot. The ball had a speed of 185mph, as DPWT stated. Lee himself retweeted the post and captioned it “bye bye” with a rocket emoji, as in bidding adieu to the ball.

After the video made it on the FYP of Lee fans, they couldn’t stop praising the 2x DP World Tour winner. A few even wanted him to win the tournament altogether. The 25-year-old has thrilled fans with his practice swing. Only time will tell what he has in the bag for the final event.

“Win Please”: Lee fans have one wish after watching him swing

The ball’s speed was 185mph! It is a feat in itself and it impressed Lee’s followers as well. Complimenting his game and speed, this fan wanted Lee to reach higher levels.

It is not every day that a golfer is called “cool”. However, when you hit a shot as magnificent as Lee did, people will find you amazing and wish you more success.

Two words, direct and simple. Take home the DPWT Championship and the $3 million!

The swing was so fierce and fast that this man had no choice except to compare Lee to a firearm.

One thing is evident – if Lee plays the same as he has shown here, he will get ’em (other golfers and the trophy) for sure!
