Korean stars look to shine in 'home game' at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson

A total of seven Korean players will tee up in the $9.5-million PGA Tour showpiece, which sees Korean conglomerate, CJ Group, evolving as title sponsor of one of America’s legacy tournaments in honor of the legendary Byron Nelson, a 52-time winner.

“I feel very good. I always have good memories of this course, so it makes me feel comfortable and confident. I'm excited and grateful that The CJ Cup is being held at the course where I've performed well. It makes me want to do better,” said Lee in a press conference on Wednesday. Following a runner-up finish to Australia’s Jason Day in last year’s tournament, Si Woo Kim will be looking to go one step better in hopes of landing a fifth career PGA Tour victory. The 28-year-old has been in solid form all season where he has not missed a cut in 11 starts, with one top-10 and six top-25s.

“I think little struggle last year, but I think getting better every week this year, so hopefully this week tee to green and putting, everything good and matchup,” Lee said. “So hopefully good week for me. When I’m here, putting is always good, and then I tee off, tee box, every hole is comfortable for me.”
