After driving his ball underneath a bush, Lee initially contemplated playing the ball. He got on his knees and attempted to address the ball with several clubs, but eventually his caddie, Bo Martin, called him off.
“We can drop this, kid, get it around the green and have a putt for 5; that’s a win,” Martin said.
So, that’s exactly what Lee did, advancing his third shot to about 85 yards from the hole and then rolling in a 6-footer for par. It was a clutch par save that ultimately proved the difference in a one-shot win over Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland; it just took Lee a while – especially considering he wasn’t waiting on a ruling. As Lee lined up that putt, NBC producers put on the bottom left of the screen a running clock for his time on the hole, which was already over 30 minutes.
Though the graphic went away by the time Lee made his stroke, it’s safe to assume it took the threesome of Lee, Alejandro Tosti and Ryan Fox over 31 minutes to complete the hole.
