MELBOURNE : Ash Barty's retirement from tennis robbed Australia of one of its champions of women's sport but golfer Minjee Lee is helping fill the breach with success on the LPGA Tour.

While Barty's three Grand Slam titles catapulted her into global celebrity, Texas-based Lee has largely flown under the radar despite winning her maiden major at last year's Evian Championship. "I’m not sure if I can quite compare to Ash yet but, you know, it’s pretty cool," Lee told reporters on Wednesday of comparisons with the tennis star.

Lee represented Australia at the 2016 Rio Olympics and has won eight LPGA titles but local sponsors have yet to show much interest.
