Battling Min Woo gets pick-me-up with Minjee's backing

Min Woo Lee felt he had let his country down after his miserable first round at an Olympics - but he picked himself up and has been cheered to an excellent finish by big sister Minjee at Le Golf National.

Games debutants Lee, tied for 22nd, and fellow Aussie Jason Day, joint-ninth, both admitted to disappointment at missing out on the medals, but both were left blown away by the fantastic climax which felt like Olympic golf's coming-of-age Sunday as Scottie Scheffler delivered an epic round of 62 to snatch the gold.

"It's been special, representing my country. There's been a little bit of pressure and obviously, the first day I felt devastated, I felt like I let the country down," said Lee, who was crestfallen to shoot a five-over 76 for starters back on Thursday.
