Rotorua's Danny Lee

Rotorua's Danny Lee has recorded his best finish of the new PGA Tour season placing tied-third in Mexico.

But it could have been a lot better for the 24-year-old.

Lee hit seven birdies in a row on the front nine to move into the outright lead this morning,
during the final round of the OHL Classic at Mayakoba.

But three bogeys on the back nine saw him slip back to 15-under par for the tournament.

Charley Hoffman (US) went on to win the event at 17-under par.

Lee finished the tournament with rounds of 66, 69, 67 and 67.
