Rotorua golfer Danny Lee has secured a top-25 finish at the Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia.

He shot a final round 66 early yesterday to finish on seven-under par. That moved him up to tied-16th place.

It is the third top-25 finish of the season for Lee, which will go a long way towards helping him keep his PGA Tour card for next season.

After starting with a five-under par 65 on Friday, Lee recorded a pair of one-over 71s during the weekend before moving up the leaderboard yesterday.

Lee had five birdies and a single bogey in his final round. He is expected to rise from 110th on the PGA Tour's points race to 100th.

Angel Cabrera won the tournament at 16-under par.
