KH Lee affinity for TPC courses reflects in his score

Is there something about TPC courses that suit your game better than maybe some other courses?

KH LEE: Yeah, I think last year play well TPC. Yeah, I think very interesting, but like more comfortable and, I mean, yeah, I think better, so very happy for me, but, yeah, I like TPC course.

A lot of the TPC courses are different, so what is it about, is it something similar about all of them that you happen to like?

KH Lee: Yeah, honestly, I don’t know why, but I mean, like feeling comfortable, but like tee shot, second shot, so everything better. Usually I think, I mean hitting shot, hitting better, so I think that’s why the reason why I play well TPC course at the times, yeah.

Three birdies and an eagle on the back nine. What did you have going right today?

Lee: I think third hole I made eagle. Very nice like keep great momentum and I think No. 4 is a little difficult hole, par-3 but make birdie and more keep momentum and finishing strong. So, I mean, yeah.
