Lee leads WGC-Bridgestone after opening 65

Thanks to a 5-under 65 on Thursday, Danny Lee leads the way at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. Here’s where things stand through 18 holes in Akron.

Leaderboard: Lee (-5), Furyk (-4) McDowell (-4), Fowler (-3), Rose (-3),

What it means: Lee, who won the U.S. amateur at the age of 18 in 2008, broke through for his first PGA Tour victory in a playoff at the Greenbrier Classic last month. In three events since, he finished one shot out of a playoff at the John Deere Classic, missed the cut at the Open Championship, and tied for fourth at the Quicken Loans National.
