Rotorua golfer Danny Lee will have mixed feelings after qualifying for week two of the FedEx Cup playoffs on the PGA Tour.
The 24-year-old professional carded a two-over par 73 in the final round of The Barclays in New Jersey today to finish in a share of 38th place, 11 shots back from the champion Hunter Mahan.
Lee advanced from 116th on the FedEx Cup standings to 96th. That means he qualifies inside the top 100 players who will compete next week at the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston.
But it could have been so much better for the former US Amateur champion.
Lee began the final round superbly. He was three-under par through his opening five holes at the Ridgewood Country Club to get to eight-under par and into a share of third place.
