Min Woo Lee makes hilarious request to musician with 898K followers on Instagram

Min Woo Lee celebrated his 27th birthday on Sunday, July 27, while on a break from professional golf. The Australian golfer last competed at the Open Championship at Royal Portrush, where he missed the cut after carding a 5-over par score at the end of the first two rounds.

Lee seems to have been enjoying his time off the golf course for the past week. While celebrating his birthday, he enjoyed his night out at the American DJ, Illenium's show at the Shambhala Music Festival. The 898K-followed musician on Instagram performed in Salmo, British Columbia, where Lee was in attendance.

Lee shared his appreciation for Illenium along with pictures of the musician on his Instagram stories. In one of them, Lee made a hilarious request asking if he could have a go at the DJ deck. He captioned the stories:

"What a night 🤝 thanks beast @illenium" "Can I spin the wheel on the dj deck" @illenium 😂"

How has Min Woo Lee performed this season?

Min Woo Lee claimed his first win on the PGA Tour this year. The 27-year-old golfer turned professional in 2019, but a victory on the Tour had long eluded him. Lee won the Texas Children's Houston Open in March 2025 after defeating World No.1 Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland by one stroke. Lee shot a 20-under par score of 260 to seal the victory.

Lee has played 16 events so far this year and made the cut in 12 of them. He missed the cuts at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open, and The Open Championship. At the first Major, the Masters tournament, Lee finished in the solo 49th position.

While the Houston Open win remains his only Top 10 finish (barring his win), Lee has six Top 25 finishes this season. He kicked off the season at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am where he finished at T17, followed by T12 at the WM Phoenix Open.

At the Cognizant Classic, Min Woo Lee finished in a seven-way tie for 11th and was tied for 20th at the Players Championship. The Australian golfer shared a tie for 13th with five others at the Rocket Classic.

Lee has also decided to skip the upcoming PGA Tour event, the Wyndham Championship. The event is scheduled to take place from July 31 to August 3 at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina.
