MIDLAND, Texas—New Zealands Danny Lee won the WNB Golf Classic on Sunday for his first Nationwide Tour title, beating former Georgia star Harris English with a par on the first hole of a playoff. Donnie Avery Youth Jersey . The 21-year-old Lee, the 2008 U.S. Amateur champion, closed with a 6-under 66 to match English (69) at 18-under 270 at Midland Country Club. Lee, born in South Korea, earned US$94,500 to jump from 14th to fourth on the money list with $271,700. The top 25 after the final four events will earn 2012 PGA Tour cards. “It feels great to win again,” Lee said. “I havent won a tournament since I won the 2009 Johnnie Walker Classic and its a great feeling. Its not easy to win and I worked really hard with my uncle and my coach for this. Im really happy it worked.” English, making his second pro start, won the Nationwide Childrens Hospital Invitational in July as an amateur. He tied for 49th last week in his pro debut in the Soboba Golf Classic. Vancouvers Richard T. Lee (75) tied for 36th on the tournament at 7 under par. Jon Mills (75) of Oshawa, Ont., finished 60th at 2 under. In the playoff on the par-4 18th, Lees tee shot hit a tree and kicked right, leaving him a clear shot to the flag. His second landed in the greenside bunker and he blasted out within a foot. Englishs drive ended up behind trees and he was forced to punch out. He hit his third to about 7 feet, but missed the par putt. “I didnt hit my tee shot where I wanted to in the playoff,” English said. “I tried to get a good angle at the flag, but kind of got a bad break, but thats what happens. ... Overall, it was a good day.” Lee, set to play in the Korea Open this week, eagled the par-5 fourth and birdied on Nos. 6, 10, 15 and 16. English also had an eagle, on the par-5 12th, and reached under with a birdie on No. 15. He earned $56,700 to jump to 79th on the money list with $59,288. South Africas Garth Mulroy (64) was third at 16 under, and Bob Heintz (66), Craig Bowden (71) and Australias Gavin Coles (73) finished at 15 under. Third-round leader B.J. Staten, six strokes ahead of Lee entering the final round, shot a 77 to tie for 10th at 13 under. “I didnt hit it well today and I got out of my tempo and then you start pressing,” Staten said. “I just didnt make anything all day. Its unfortunate because youve got to put four rounds together out here or youre not going to win.” Reggie Wayne Jersey .C. —Lydia Ko is not going to the bank to cash a champions cheque, but she still gets what many pro golfers do not yet have.
