(Reuters) - Former teenage prodigy Danny Lee secured his long awaited breakthrough when he parred the second extra hole to win a four-way playoff at the Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia on Sunday.
The victory was the first on the PGA Tour for the New Zealander who beat Canadian David Hearn at the Old White TPC in White Sulphur Springs.
Lee and Hearn had birdied the first extra hole, the par-three 18th, where they both made 15-foot putts to eliminate Americans Kevin Kisner and Robert Streb.
“It feels amazing,” Lee said in a greenside interview after tapping in his winning putt from one foot.
