The 2008 U.S. amateur champion clinched his first PGA Tour
victory when he rolled in a one-foot putt to beat Canadian David
Hearn at the Old White TPC in White Sulphur Springs.
Earlier, Lee and Hearn birdied the first extra hole, the
par-three 18th, where they both made 15-foot putts to eliminate
Americans Kevin Kisner and Robert Streb.
Lee, 24, was born in South Korea but is a citizen of New
Zealand, where he spent his youth.
Lee carded a closing 67 to finish regulation locked with Hearn
(67), Kisner (64) and Streb (65) at 13-under 267.
