1:45 pm on 24 June 2013

The New Zealand golf number two Danny Lee has surrendered a four shot lead, having to settle for runner-up on the latest event on the USPGA's second tier tour.

Lee shot an even par final round of 71 to finish second on the web.com tour event in North Carolina, surrendering the lead to American Chesson Hadley who posted a seven under-par final round of 64.

Lee shot an eight-under par 63 in the third round but couldn't match the effort in the final round scoring three birdies with three bogeys.

He's now 23rd on the web.com tour's money list with the top 25 at the end of the season earning full tour rights next year.

Fellow New Zealander Tim Wilkinson is currently sixth on the money list.
