"Hit a lot of good shots out there. Gave myself a lot of chances. You know, could have been a bit lower, but 69 is a good score around this golf course. Hit a lot of nice shots, so I was pleased with that.Well, I'm 11-under par, 13 is leading, so I've got a good chance. That's what we were talking about after the first day, 66. Yeah, it's a good position to be in".

 He had a final tee time of 11.25 with Rafa Cabrera Bello. Signing for a par 72, Lee earned T13th place and €114,452 in prize money.
