Danny Lee is the best of the Kiwis after the opening round of the Travelers Championship in Connecticut on the PGA Tour.
The 24-year-old fired a four-under 66, including five birdies and a bogey today, which left him in a share of 15th, four strokes back from leader Bubba Watson who opened with an eight-under 62. Five players are in a share of second at six-under.
Lee's countrymen Steven Alker and Tim Wilkinson will need to go under the card in their second round tomorrow after they opened with a 70 and 71, respectively.
Alker made four birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey during his even-par round, which put him in a tie for 94th, while Wilkinson was in a share of 113th.
Lee has been the most successful Kiwi on tour this season and entered the week in 60th on the FedEx Cup standings with more than $1.7 million in earnings. Alker (176th) and Wilkinson (182nd) have struggled to make regular cuts.
