(Ep 127) Alison Lee

In this latest player episode special in association with Golf Tips Checker I was joined by LPGA Tour star, 2x Ladies European Tour winner & current World Number 18 Alison Lee who calls in from Las Vegas in the midst of the SuperBowl madness just passed! We find out at first about an injury setback where a bite from her partner's Pomeranian rescue dog would cause Alison to be hospitalised with an infection which would require surgery which is an unfortunate circumstance considering she was the most in form player in Women's Golf at the back end of 2023. Alison discusses having to withdraw from this week's Aramco Series event in Riyadh & also the LPGA Thailand event next week on LPGA Tour! 

Alison was born & raised in Los Angeles, California to Korean parents and proudly speaks Korean! She discovered the game at age of 6 through her dad and has never looked back since with making US Women's Open in 2009 at age of 14 to becoming the Number 1 Women's Amateur player in the World for 16 weeks in 2013-14 winning Amateur & Junior events at ease on a constant basis Alison would turn pro and enter LPGA Tour School in 2014 where she would win it & gain her LPGA Tour card for 2015 season. In her Rookie year Alison would start off strong & feature at 2015 Solheim Cup in Germany before in her own words failing to make a cut on Tour for ages. In the midst of the bad slump Alison would even consider giving up Golf as her confidence was shot to pieces but finding her now coach Chris Mayson would fine something in her game & would win 2 Aramco Series events on LET in Sotogrande in 2021 beating Ashleigh Buhai by 5 shots, then in 2023 she was set the 54 hole scoring record in Riyadh to finish a remarkable -29 winning by a whopping 8 shots. 

Although not been able as of yet to get over the line on the LPGA Alison would go on a run of 2,1,2,2 at the end of 2023 with Solheim Cup & Olympics this year it will be a big year for Alison's goals & expectations!
