Lee was born in London. He won the silver medal as the leading amateur in The Open Championship at Muirfield in 1992.[1] He turned professional later that year and played on the European Tour and its second tier Challenge Tour between 1993 and 2003. His best finish on the European Tour Order of Merit was 45th in 2001, the only year he made the top 100.
Strangely for a professional golfer, Lee never played a practice round prior to a tournament, instead preferring to simply walk the course.[2]
