Lee earns maiden PGA TOUR win at AT&T Byron Nelson

- Chuah Choo Chiang

As K.H. Lee stood over a critical 15-foot par putt on the 16th hole Sunday at the AT&T Byron Nelson, a ferocious lightning strike nearby jolted him out of position. A rain-soaked Lee would have to wait just a little bit longer for his maiden PGA TOUR victory.

More than two hours later, the 29-year-old finally stood back over that putt only to bogey for just the third time all week. Not that it mattered, Lee might have begun the restart inauspiciously but he would close it in style, posting a final-round 6-under 66 to win by three shots over Sam Burns.

“I was not that nervous before the round, but I was very nervous when we resumed playing,” he said. “I was shaking inside the last three holes.”
