Min Woo Lee plans on celebrating his watershed Houston Open win with the best golfer in the family.
As well as rising above Adam Scott to become Australia's new number one on the men's rankings, the 26-year-old completed another rare double with his epic victory over Scottie Scheffler on Monday AEDT.
Min Woo and sister Minjee are only the third siblings to notch wins on the PGA and LPGA Tours respectively.
The Lees were already the only brother-sister act to have both won the US Junior Amateur title and last year represented Australia at the Paris Olympics.
For all his talent, Min Woo has often conceded he is not even the best player in the family, having long lived in the shadows of dual major champion Minjee.
But he is edging closer, on rankings at least.
While Min Woo has surged up to number 22 in the world in the men's rankings, Minjee has fallen from second to 18th on the women's standings, having gone winless since 2023.
Little wonder Minjee was the first family member to congratulate him on a FaceTime call after he secured his first PGA Tour title.
"I called my family, and my mum was crying as usual. Dad was very happy," MIn Woo said.
"My sister was the first one to pick up. I talked to her yesterday about having dinner tomorrow.
"She's in Vegas and I live there and she's playing an LPGA tournament there.
"So it will be very cool to see her. I haven't seen her in a little bit, so it's very cool to have a sister that's really good at golf, and she's going to win soon, too."
Looming as a serious Masters contender when the season's first major gets underway on April 10, Min Woo still reckons Minjee might have the wood on him if they played against each other.
"If we play from the same tees, I'll smoke her because I hit it very far," he said.
"But if she played from her tees and I played from mine, it would be pretty close.
"She's got the long putter in now so she can putt and she's doing really good over the last couple months putting.
"Over the long run, I think she might beat me. She's a robot. She probably would have hit 19 fairways out of 18 fairways today because she's a robot.
"She's very straightforward and she controls the ball so well. Over time she'll probably win, but if there was a little short sprint I might win."
