Ex- teenage prodigy Danny Lee secured his long-awaited breakthrough when he parred the second extra hole to win a four-way playoff at the Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia.

Not only did golfer Danny Lee scoop his maiden PGA Tour win, he might just have become New Zealand’s most eligible bachelor.
“I kind of felt like I was playing good but not good enough to win a golf tournament”, Lee said.
All four players had finished on 13-under-par for the tournament with Lee and Hearn both carding 67s, while Kisner fired a 64 to set the pace at White Sulphur Springs.
“I was very surprised”, Streb said of his putting prowess with the wedge. “He’d spend eight hours a day on the practice fairway and when people said “you should be at school”, he’d say “I am at school, this is my classroom””, Tiriana said.
Danny Lee is now the man of the moment on the PGA Tour after winning his first title and taking home $1.2 million. Kisner lost in a playoff for the third time this season.
He flopped a shot, another aggressive play, rather than bump-and-run a ball up to the hole.
Lee putted for par at 17 while Hearn had to settle for a bogey.
I’m not saying…but I’m just saying: Help a dude out, Tiger.
Lee booked his spot in the play-off after carding a final-round 67, which saw him make two birdies and a bogey on his front nine and two birdies on his back nine, including a crucial one on the 17th.
“I was proud of the way I stepped up and made a birdie and when I got back to 18, I had that same putt pretty much as regulation”.
Russell Henley shot 63 and finished fifth at 12-under.
Hearn still winless: After 164 PGA Tour events, the 36-year-old Canadian still hasn’t won and Sunday represented only his second runner-up finish. This was the third playoff in six years of the event … “I had full control over all the clubs. This could have been one of those special rounds”. Van Zyl only managed a 73 to finish five shots behind Wiesberger’s total of 13-under 271.

Wiesberger found himself in the lead after four straight birdies from the fourth hole, and picked up another shot on the ninth. His ability was mind-boggling as he won the U.S. Amateur, then the European Tour’s Johnnie Walker Classic in Perth in early 2009. Lee was rewarded with a short birdie putt, which he drained to tie the leaders.
