Aussie golfer Min Woo Lee faces a more demanding position after a tougher second round at the PGA Championship. Multiple outlets report that he drops three shots relative to the leaders during the round, leaving him needing improved play to catch up. The coverage characterizes Lee as a “cult hero,” but the central development across sources is the same performance shift in the second round. While the articles agree on the score impact—he takes three shots off his position against the leading players—they provide limited additional detail on course conditions, specific holes, or changes in the wider leaderboard. Overall, the reports present the second round as a setback in terms of proximity to the top of the field, and set up the next phase of the tournament with Lee now having more ground to make up. The accounts do not cite differing interpretations or alternative figures; they converge on the same key point of him slipping by three shots to the leaders.
