Danny Lee has picked up his game in a big way over the last two months. After missing four cuts in his first six starts of 2017, he now has three top-ten finishes in his last six starts. He peaked two weeks ago, tying for third place at the Travelers Championship, playing all four rounds in the 60s.

Lee couldn’t be peaking at a better time, and he’ll ride that momentum into the Old White TPC. In 2015, of course, Lee broke through for his first PGA TOUR championship right here in White Sulphur Springs. This is a match made in heaven, if there ever was one.

Despite his mixed results this year, Lee still ranks 28th on Tour in birdie average, anchored almost entirely by his putting prowess. He’s 24th on Tour in Strokes Gained – Putting, and eighth in total putting. That will carry him a long way this week in his return to the Old White.
