Dubai Duty Free Irish Open

May 2016

Currently 7th in the Race to Dubai, Lee travels to the K Club this week for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. He finished T53rd here last year.

Lee and his mum, Trish spent an evening at the CHUF (Childrens Heart Unit Fund) Charity Ball, where a lot of money was raised.

He had a 13.35 tee-time for the first round on Thursday, carding a 72 and ending the day alongside Rafa Cabrero Bella in T31st place. Danny Willett, the third member of the group took the lead on 7-under par.

They had an 8.35 start on Friday. Lee recorded another 72 par in breezy weather and now lies in T34th place.
Lee had a 10.28 start  with Gary Hurley on Saturday. Play was suspended mid afternoon and again around six o'clock but Lee had already completed his round, carding a 2-under 70, leaving 12 players to complete their round from 7.30 on Sunday morning.

It was a good final round for Lee, despite play being stopped due to inclement weather. He was bogey free until the last, which he bogeyed but finished T10th on 4-under par and earning €64,650 in prize money.

Rory McIlroy won the title on 12 under par.
