First year tour player DongNyung Young Lee picked up his first career win at the season's 2nd major championship on Saturday. Stoked by being called out as only one of two players that had no chance of winning by From the Fringe, he went out and silenced all his critics.
In an interview Young explained what has turned his game around. "I've really tried to slow down my swing- it's really helped". Ironically, Young credits this change in his approach to Roy, who has yet to win on tour this year.
As for the rest of the pack, Young K. had the best overall round shooting a respectable 93 on what proved to be a tough course, despite lipping out putts on 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 14, 16, and 17 . Peanut just missed shooting par and shot up the overall points race all the way up to 3rd with a second place finish, despite not only making kim-bap (thank God!), but also generating computerized indivualized, peronalized, specialized labels. The other highlight of the afternoon was that Tom completed the day without a DNP or WD beside his name. The biggest disappointment was the absence of tour fan-favourite John Daly. Elder K. watched his grip on first overall slip away and now sits 2nd overall, while Jackie leapfrogged over Roy to sit tied with Young at 4th overall.
Here are your final scores from the weekend:
1. Young Lee -2
2. Margaret Kahng +1
T3. Mike Shim +3
T3. John Choi +3
5. Roy Lee +7
Missed Cut
6. Jason Koyama +9
