Golf: Kiwi Danny Lee experiences high and lows at CIMB Classic in Malaysia

Kiwi golfer Danny Lee has tasted the thrilling highs and excruciating lows of golf all in one round at his latest PGA tournament, the CIMB Classic in Malaysia.

After pars on the opening three holes, Lee scored a hole-in-one with a nine-iron on the 140-yard par-three fourth at TPC Kuala Lumpur, which put him among the early leaders.

He followed that with birdies at the par-five fifth hole, par-three eighth and par-four ninth to lie tied for first halfway through his round, then consolidated that with another birdy at 10th.

But he undid most of his great work on the par-four 14th hole, when he found the water and emerged with a quardruple-bogey eight.

Korean-born Lee, 28, finished 98th on the PGA Tour money list for the 2018/19 season and opened the new season last week with a strong 10th at the Safeway Open in California.

He has previously hit a hole-in-one at the 2015 AT&T Byron Nelson tournament in Texas.
