Danny Lee and New Zealand amateur Lydia Ko have both had top five finishes in their respective tour events this morning, but Lee will be kicking himself for missing out on a rare victory.
Lee finished second at the web.com Tour's Rex Hospital Open in North Carolina this morning after
faltering late into his final round. The New Zealander held a two shot lead with four holes to play before recording two bogeys as American Chesson Hadley finished the stronger of the two players to take the title.
Lee had an even-par 70 to finish at 17-under for the tournament. He had three bogeys on the final six holes after going 36 holes without dropping a shot.
Hadley, who shot a 64 today, was a staggering seven-under through his final 10 holes including an eagle and five birdies to storm by Lee for the victory.
Despite the disappointing ending it was Lee's first top five of 2013 and sees him climb from 23rd place to sixth on the money-list.
