Danny Lee withdrew from the US Open with a wrist injury.
New Zealand golfer Danny Lee withdrew from the US Open after a stunning capitulation to finish his third round.
The 30-year-old suffered a massive collapse on the 18th hole at Winged Foot Course on Sunday (New Zealand time), putting down six putts from a starting distance of four feet to record a quintuple bogey nine.
He saw Lee finish eight out of 78, then rounds of 70, then 75.
He has been given a wrist injury as the reason for withdrawing from the tournament.

SPORT OF HEAVEN
Patrick Reed and Will Zalatoris made a hole in one at the US Open.
It completes an unfortunate moment for the New Zealand contingent at the event, with New Zealand’s other hope, Ryan Fox, having scored a terrible 15 out of 85 in his second round.
That led Fox to 19 more than the tournament, ahead of just three other players on the field.
