Ilhee Lee had one of the rounds of the day on Sunday eventually finishing up at 16-under par and tied for third. Her best finish since a runner-up showing at the Mizuno Classic last November.
“Well today on the front nine, I thought this weekend is not my weekend,” Lee admitted. “Every putt goes so close but didn’t go in. But my caddie, he told me, be patient because it’s going to go in. Then I had seven holes left, and made birdie, five feet from the par 3, and made it, and then I start to feel like I can make more. But then I made eagle putt, that was like 20 feet away. And like this far, birdie, right next hole. I mean, finished strong. I’m happy. I’m happy for I finished strong. “
While Lee is happy with her play she is also happy that the money from her strong finish will help her give back to people in need.
“I told my friend, if I make money, like plenty money this week, I will help for the Africa to help build pipe things for the water,” Lee explained. “So I keep thinking about that, I want to make more birdie for them. I think that ends up really good.”
