Golf: Lee has share of the lead at Palm Harbour

Danny Lee has continued his run of fine form to share the lead after the opening round of the PGA Tour's Valspar Championship in Palm Harbour, Florida.

Starting on the back nine, the 23-year-old birdied the 11th, 12th and 15th holes to move into a share of first at the turn. Another birdie on the par five 1st saw Lee take the sole lead at four under before he recorded his only bogey of the day at the 6th.

He finished with a three-under 68 to share the lead with America's Matt Every, Pat Perez and Australian Greg Chalmers.

Last week Lee recorded his best finish on the PGA Tour with a second at the Puerto Rico Open giving him the best payday of his career - US$378,000 (NZD$446,000).

The winner's cheque at the Valspar Championship is more than US$1 million.
