Min Woo Lee has dropped right back in the field at The Players Championship, with a couple of double bogeys proving costly for the Australian star.

After holding the lead at the unofficial 'fifth major' on the PGA Tour, the 26-year-old produced a disappointing display on Sunday morning (AEDT).

On the fifth hole, Lee butchered his tee shot and was audibly frustrated right away.

"Oh my gosh," the Aussie was heard saying after skewing his drive.

The ball would land in the bushes, flying past some watchful spectators, which would then force Lee to search for it and take a penalty shot.

"That can get really troublesome over there," the commentator said.

"There's a little creek down there, it's a messy spot."

After finally managing to get the ball onto the green, Lee would miss his bogey putt, before tapping it in after an incredibly lengthy hole.

"It all began with the tee shot and 15 minutes later, we're walking off with a double bogey," the commentator said.

Lee would double bogey again on the ninth and finished the round at six-over par, now seven shots off the overall lead in Florida.
