Min Woo Lee in prime position for Players Championship glory
Australian golf star Min Woo Lee has surged into contention at The Players Championship, sitting atop the leaderboard after a scintillating second round at TPC Sawgrass.
Backing up his strong opening 67 with a brilliant six-under 66, Lee used his trusty 2-iron to expertly navigate the challenging Florida layout.
Now at 11-under, he shares the lead with American Akshay Bhatia, setting the stage for an electrifying weekend at the $40 million tournament—often referred to as golf’s ‘fifth major.’
Despite leading the field, Lee remains at an enticing +700.
7 with top online bookmakers, presenting significant value for punters.
While Lee impressed, Justin Thomas endured a rollercoaster day.
The former world No.1 was on track to shatter the course record with an 11-under 61 before disaster struck at the final hole, finding the water and settling for a still-impressive 62—tying Tom Hoge’s record. It was a stunning recovery from Thomas after a dismal opening-round 78, but he remains seven shots off the pace.
Given his first-round struggles, Thomas is a long shot at +6700
with Nags.bet.
Elsewhere, Rory McIlroy (-9) and Collin Morikawa (-9) remain firmly in the hunt, while the Australian contingent faced mixed fortunes.
Adam Scott (+2) is battling to make the cut, whereas Cam Davis (+11) and Karl Vilips (+6) are likely headed for an early exit.
Meanwhile, defending champion Scottie Scheffler (-5) faces an uphill battle to secure a historic three-peat.
Currently six shots off the lead, he is priced at $13 with the top golf betting sites heading into the weekend.
