AKRON, Ohio – The summer of Danny Lee rolls right along.
Lee broke through for his maiden PGA Tour victory last month at The Greenbrier Classic, but he has hardly slowed down since. The Kiwi missed a playoff at the John Deere Classic by one shot, tied for fourth last week at the Quicken Loans National and now leads the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational after a 5-under 65 in the opening round.
Lee carded seven birdies against two bogeys, including four birdies across his opening seven holes. He has been one of the busiest men on Tour this season, teeing it up for the 31st time this week at Firestone Country Club, but he said the key to his recent success boils down to confidence.
