" I just played really well. I've been working on my swing. I'm working with Robert Rock on that, and it's started to feel more solid. It was really good today in the wind. We've been working on being able to control my ball flight well. I drove it great, hit a lot of fairways. Just kept hitting it to -- it seemed like I kept hitting it to between 20 and 30 feet, which was around where I had to just be patient and just keep picking up the odd shot when I hit it a little bit closer. Yeah, it was a solid round and a lot of patience involved".

 An earlier start on a "chilly" Friday morning lead to a 1-under 69 which earned him a tie for 2nd place on 4-under par, just one shot adrift of leader Brendan Steele.

He and Luke had a 1.35 (6.35GMT) tee-time for the final round. Lee carded a final 70 which left him 3-under par and in T5th place.
