The 24 year old carded an even par 72 at The Hills course to finish five over for the tournament, eight shots below the cut mark and a distant 16 strokes behind the tournament leader.

Playing in only his second event as a professional, Lee finished strongly with four birdies in the final six holes, having dropped shots on the four previous holes.
