Lee siblings look to sweep dual gender Australian Open

SYDNEY : Twice major winner Minjee Lee and her in-form brother Min Woo are targeting a unique sweep of the dual gender Australian Open in Sydney this week while Cameron Smith will look to bounce back from his horror show in Brisbane.

Days after Minjee won a record third Greg Norman medal as Australia's top golfer, Min Woo cruised to a three-stroke victory at the Australian PGA Championship on Sunday to the delight of packed galleries at Royal Queensland.

His first big, home victory came just over a month after the Lees became the first siblings to win events in successive weeks on major international tours, with Minjee claiming the BMW Ladies Championship and Min Woo the Macau Open.

The mixed format of the Australian Open - which has separate men's and women's trophies - will have the siblings competing apart but in close proximity across two courses, The Australian and The Lakes.

Min Woo, the more extroverted of the Western Australian duo, said he hoped both could hoist trophies in the same week.

"It would be pretty crazy. We've won back-to-back weeks, but on the same week would be something else," the 25-year-old told reporters.

Though boasting three European Tour titles among his four professional wins, Min Woo has some catching up to do to match his sister.

The 27-year-old world number five has 10 LPGA Tour titles and top-three finishes at all five of the women's majors.

The Australian Open has proved elusive, though, despite playing every one since the age of 14.

"As an Australian you always want to win your national Open and it’s always been high on my list to win," she said.

"I put the most pressure on myself here, I really want to do well so it's subconscious pressure."
