Danny Lee has shown today that he can as they say in golf, "go low". He's tied for the lead after the first round of one of the PGA Tour's marquee events, the ATT Pebble Beach National Pro-Am; PGATour.com reports:
Dustin Johnson took revenge on the hole that cost him so badly two years earlier by firing an eagle at the third Thursday, setting up a round of 9-under 63 that gave a share of the lead in the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am.
Johnson shared the lead with Charlie Wi, who flirted with a round of 59 before finishing with a 9-under 61 at Monterey Peninsula in the three-course event, and former U.S. Amateur champion Danny Lee, who matched Johnson's 63 at Pebble Beach.
The ATT is played at three courses on the Monterey Peninsula, and Danny Lee played his round today on one of the most famed courses in golf; the spectacular Pebble Beach course. And he was in fine form; you can watch his post-round interview here.
We may not get to see too much TV over the weekend; we have other plans. But we'll be keeping an eye out of the performance of Danny Lee in a tournament that could give his debut season on the PGA Tour some real momentum.
He may speak with a heavy accent, but Danny Lee is flying the Kiwi flag on golf's premier tour, and thus far, he's not looking out of place. All the best to him for a successful tournament, and the best pay-day of his brief professional career.
UPDATE: Six holes into his second round (at Spyglass Hill) Danny Lee is one under par for the day, ant at 10-under for the tournament, he shares the lead with Charlie Wi; go Danny!
