Danny Lee hit a 6-under-par 65 with eight birdies and two bogeys in the third round of the Bermuda Championship held at the Fort Royal Golf Course (par 71) in Southampton, Bermuda on the 31st (Korean time).
Danny Lee, who was tied for fourth with an 8-under 134 until the second round, finished the third round with a total of 14-under 199 for three days in second place, three shots behind the first.
After the second shot on the 10th (par 4) lands on the green, Danny Lee has an exquisite backspin and skimmed the hole.
Danny Lee, who put a birdie putt less than a meter away on this hole, tied for the lead, but was pushed back to second place by bogey on the 13th and 14th holes.
