Minjee Lee reveals lofty career ambitions

Having finally got the "monkey off my back", Minjee Lee launches her 2022 campaign at this week's Women's World Championship targeting more majors and a place in golf's Hall of Fame.

In a candid interview with the Australian No.1, Lee revealed her lofty career ambitions after finally breaking through to land her maiden major last year.

So long the best female golfer on the planet without a major, Lee's victory at the Evian Championship in France in July has resulted in the 26-year-old's self-belief soaring.

"It's really been on the back of my mind for quite a long time and just to be able to be called a major champion gives me a really great feeling," Lee told AAP.

"It really was a monkey off my back and it does let me play with a little bit more freedom because before I felt 'oh, am I ever going to win a major?'

"But then I won and it just gave me a little bit more of that reassurance that I could.

"So internally you have a little bit of a different sort of confidence, like in your swing and the way you're hitting it."

Ever the perfectionist, now Lee is intent on taking her game to new levels in pursuit of a place among the all-time greats.

"Having won Evian, I have a little bit more motivation to win every other major because my ultimate goal is to be in the Hall of Fame," the world No.7 and one-time No.2 said.

"So I can keep moving forward and use this as motivation to win the next major, because winning a major is like really different to winning regular tournament.

"Just the feeling that you get is totally different."

The LPGA event in Singapore isn't quite one of the women's five majors but it's close, regarded as "Asia's major".

The depth in the field is phenomenal, with just about every big name in the world
