In the second round he eagled the par-5 eighth and played the front nine in 34, but a disastrous six-putt led to quintuple bogey on the 10th, dropping him to five-over for the tournament. He was unable to recover, eventually finishing 11-over par. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Danny Lee (golfer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
