Danny Lee reveals difficult family news

Danny Lee shares the 54-hole lead at THE CJ CUP @ NINE BRIDGES despite some distressing news involving his family.

Following his third-round 68 that left him at 15 under and tied with Justin Thomas atop the leaderboard, Lee revealed that his second child was born prematurely on Sunday.

Lee’s wife was scheduled to deliver their child closer to the Christmas holidays. The baby is currently in an incubator.

Lee initially was planning to keep the matter private until after the event but responded to a question about whether he and his wife had plans to celebrate should he win the event in Korea.

“I was not going to talk about this until the end of the event,” said Lee, who had difficulty keeping his emotions in check while revealing the news.
