In a story that fell under the radar, KLPGA superstar Min Young Lee, who won a few times last season, is playing in her first KLPGA event of 2015. This is because of a mysterious ailment that caused her severe abdominal pain. After some tests, the doctors found a form of kidney cancer in Lee, and she immediately underwent surgery. Luckily for Lee, it appears that they caught the cancer before it spread any further into Lee's body.
This story in itself would be impressive - person fights cancer and wins, but it is not over yet. Lee is teeing it up this week in her first event, less than two months after her surgery, and amazingly, she shot a three under par 69, and is only one shot back of seven leaders. Props to Lee for battling back. I will be keeping an eye on her for the rest of the season. Hopefully she can keep up this fantastic performance.
