Back to the Arabian Peninsula

We may not get to peer the LPGA this week, however we will at the least get Minjee Lee's brother on the Oman Open at the ET.

Min Woo Lee makes his ET debut as a Tour champion

Min Woo Lee makes his debut as a European Tour champion this week. He gained earlier this year at the ISPS Handa Vic Open, Down Under in Australia (his and Minjee's home u . S . A .).

In some approaches I suppose this is a great area for Min Woo. The Al Mouj Golf path is in Oman, which (for those of you who don't know) is an Arab u . S . A . On the southeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Greg Norman designed the linksy path, which stretches for six kilometers (nearly three.Seventy five miles) alongside the coast of the Indian Ocean. Should you stray from the fairways, there might be sand to deal with -- in addition to the winds off the sea.

Sounds a chunk just like the situations Min Woo gained in back domestic!

There will of route be some of famous players in the area, like Nicolas Colsaerts, Andy Sullivan, Martin Kaymer, Li Haotong, Joost Luiten, Martin Kaymer, Paul Lawrie, Thomas Pieters and Pablo Larraz?Bal.

An interesting side note: This will be the first ET event to provide its players with bamboo tees, which are biodegradable. It's part of an effort to make the game more environmentally friendly.

GC will be covering this event starting at 1:30am ET on Thursday morning. This is the third time the Al Mouj Golf course will play a part in the Race to Dubai, and Luiten described it as "one of the prettiest and best that we play all season long on the European Tour" so we've got something to look forward to on the ET this week.
