Continuity gives existence of a minimizer. If there were two, choose a rational strictly between them. Then the minima on and would coincide. Conditional on , the latter equals plus the minimum of an independent Brownian motion on , whose distribution is continuous by the Brownian reflection principle. Thus equality has conditional probability zero. Taking the countable union over rational proves almost-sure uniqueness.
