Career

Lee turned professional after graduating from the University of Washington in 2010, and missed out by one shot on obtaining a card for the PGA Tour at that winter's qualifying school. The result did entitle him to play on the Nationwide Tour in 2011, where he finished 37th on the money list thanks largely to a runner-up finish at the Mexico Open. Lee returned to the qualifying school that winter and was successful in earning a PGA Tour card for the first time, going five-under-par for his final five holes to qualify with a shot to spare.

Lee's debut season on tour proved a difficult one, finishing well outside the top 125 earners who automatically retain their playing rights. However, he showed signs of late-season form when finishing T6th at the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in October, his best tour finish, and this form continued to a third visit to qualifying school. Lee finished T4 on his return to the event to secure a second year on the main tour.

Personal life

Lee married at the age of 18 to Christine Jang, 19, and became a father the following year; he combined his family life with a college golf career at the University of Washington.[1]

gollark: > “This stuff is funny!” giggles your niece, squishing her fingers in the goop. “It’s all warm, gluey, and bouncy! Someone should be turning out this stuff for kids to play with, or as sticky putty to stick posters to walls, or whatever. You’ve got, like, an infinite supply of it, so that’s good economics, right?”
gollark: > “No! ElGr cells are a scientific miracle!” cries biologist Jack Ponta, jiggling a beaker full of purplish goop as he waves his arms in exasperation. “These cells have been a breakthrough; not only in testing cures for cancer, but also in understanding how cancer develops and functions! All these years later, these cells keep chugging along, outliving all the others! Who knows, with these cells, we might even one day unlock a path to immortality! Are you going to let bureaucracy get in the way of SCIENCE?”
gollark: > “We thought my poor grandmother’s remains had been buried in accordance with her wishes,” growls Elizabeth’s direct descendant, Catherine Gratwick. “Can’t you let her rest in peace? This is her body that you’re messing with. You can’t just irradiate and poison her; you must ask me first! How would you like it if your family’s remains were exhumed and mutilated? You must never use cells from deceased people without the explicit pre-mortem consent of the patient or their relatives. As for granny - I insist that all remaining samples of her be buried, and that you financially compensate her family for the pain and grief you have caused!”
gollark: > Two generations ago, scientists took a biopsy of a tumor from a cancer patient named Elizabeth Gratwick, who died soon after. Without her knowledge or consent, these cells were preserved in the laboratory and proved to be exceptionally stable in replication. As stable cancer cell lines are highly useful for medical research, “ElGr cells” have been sent to and used by scientists all over the world. However, objections are now being raised by Elizabeth’s descendants.
gollark: Now I need to answer a question!
