 PINEHURST, N.C. (AP) - His whirlwind month complete, Danny Lee finally has a few days off. Now the carefree 18-year-old has time to reflect on his latest accomplishment: Outdoing Tiger Woods.
Lee became the U.S. Amateur's youngest champion Sunday, supplanting Woods by holding off Drew Kittleson 5 and 4.
One month to the day after his 18th birthday, Lee frittered away most of a 6-hole lead before regaining control with a string of birdies midway through his second trip around Pinehurst's No. 2 course. He capped his 11th consecutive day of competition by sinking a 30-foot birdie putt on the 14th, dropping his putter and thrusting his fists into the air in celebration.
