However, Australian ace Lee had a heated confrontation with a cute creature during warm-ups on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old, ranked 31st in the world, was putting on his shorts on the lawn in Pinehurst, North Carolina.
But Lee was stunned when a mysterious animal ran into the grass.
Despite looking like a squirrel, the small creature had a bizarre black and white coloring.
This left Lee afraid it might be a possum.
And the golfer was forced to retreat in brilliant footage as the animal chased him on several occasions.
Filming the incident, Lee said: “Hello Pinehurst. What is this animal?
“Is it a skunk, a raccoon or a squirrel?”
