Golf: Lee's horror run continues

Danny Lee

Turning pro hasn't exactly worked a treat so far for New Zealander youngster Danny Lee.

Lee has bowed out at the halfway stage of his first ever professional golf tournament.

The Rotorua teenager has missed the cut at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans on the US PGA Tour, after carding two consecutive rounds of four-over-par to finish at eight-over, in a share of 147th.

This comes after his blow-out in the second round at the Masters two weeks ago.

Fellow New Zealander Tim Wilkinson has also missed the cut in New Orleans after finishing his two rounds at a total of three-over-par.

American Jerry Kelly is the leader after two rounds, sitting at 10-under for the tournament so far.
