Tee-Scripts.Com FINAL ROUND INTERVIEW: TEAM NEW ZEALAND FINAL ROUND INTERVIEW: TEAM NEW ZEALAND DANNY LEE & RYAN FOX 27 November 2016 Q. Ryan, Danny, can you give us your thoughts overall on your performance at the World Cup this week, Danny? DANNY LEE: We did good. I kind of struggled with my putting today. We could have been easily 13, 14 under or who knows. If we got it going early in the round we might have had a much better momentum going into the back nine. But I think I kind of let down the team New Zealand today. Q. Ryan? RYAN FOX: It was a great week. I really enjoyed it. As Danny said, we probably had three out of the four days we probably didn't get the putts to roll in as we would have liked other than sort of Friday, we holed a lot then. But it was a really enjoyable week and hopefully we can team up again in the future. Q. What do you put today down to, because jeez, you guys gave yourself a lot of opportunities. It just seemed to be the putting? RYAN FOX: Yeah, for me that's all it was. We had a lot of shots of 10 or 15 feet. You look at the Swedish guys today and they holed the majority of those and we had three or four hit the lip and it didn't go in, and a couple were probably just a little out on speed. But that's golf, you can't do it every week. Q. Danny, is playing in the team format something that you enjoy and would you like to see you and Ryan teaming up more in the future? DANNY LEE: Yeah, definitely, I think we match well, very good together. I don't know what to say right now, my head is completely blank. Just not happy with my round today. But yeah, I really enjoyed his company and he's a good guy and great golfer and I think we're going to have fun next week. Q. There's talk about with the Olympics bringing into sort of the kind of format as it is here, teams as opposed to playing individuals. Would you prefer that? DANNY LEE: I prefer just a stroke play, I think. It's kind of middle of the season and we're giving up one week to play in it, so we've got to at least play for world ranking points and stuff, yeah. 1 Tee-Scripts.com RYAN FOX: I like the idea of having a team format. Probably with Danny, maybe not necessarily this kind of format if we have it with the World Cup, but definitely have a team combined stroke play on top of what this format used to be. I think that would keep guys in the tournament a little bit compared to most weeks when you're playing for money. If you win in sort of a top team at the Olympics, you didn't really have much the last day to go for, but if you're in the hunt in the team competition, I think that would help out a little bit. I'm sure they'll be thinking pretty hard about it the next couple years. Q. Looking ahead to next week, are you both looking forward to going to the Gold Coast, seeing some sun and playing the Australian PGA Championship? DANNY LEE: Hopefully it's a lot warmer than here. I was freezing my balls out here. Q. Ryan, a moment to compose yourself? RYAN FOX: Yeah, I'm with Danny. It was a tough week weather-wise this week. Cold and a fair bit of breeze, although the golf course was a little bit softer than what it normally is because of the rain. But I'm sure 29 degrees and sunny on the Gold Coast, I don't think too many people are going to complain of that. Q. Danny, looking back on your year in 2016, how do you feel it's sort of gone for you, are you pleased with how it's gone? DANNY LEE: No, not at all. It's really hard to have a really good year after you finish ninth on the FedEx and won a first PGA Tour victory, you're always going to want more and you always want to play better than what I did last year. I was playing okay overall, but I just didn't have the momentum for all four rounds, just always one or two rounds just really letting me down. It's been like that for a whole year and I think this week kind of gave me the momentum to break that rust, should I say, or whatever that is, and hopefully I'll show better performance next week. Q. Are you happy with your everything around your game? DANNY LEE: Yeah, everything's great, yeah. Hit it well, short game was great and just my short putt was letting me down a little bit today. Q. Can I just get your overall impressions about Kingston Heath, both of you? RYAN FOX: It's obviously one of the best in Australia if not one of the best in the world. I really enjoyed it. This is my third or fourth time around here in tournament golf and I played a couple of the Open qualifiers here when they were here. Yeah, it's just unbelievable. Great layout, great condition. I'm sure the guys are possibly disappointed that there was so much rain earlier in the week because this place can get really fiery and I'm sure that would have been interesting to watch, but can't do anything about the weather. But yeah, it's a great golf course to play. 2 Tee-Scripts.com Q. Danny? RYAN FOX: It was a really good golf course. Whatever Ryan just said, I wasn't even listening, but I'll double that. And a lot of the courses these days, you have to able to hit it really far off the tee to shoot a low number, but seems like this course you don't have to hit driver every hole to shoot low numbers out there, you've just got to put your tee ball into good position for second shots and you've just got to putt it well out here. I really enjoyed playing here. Q. Just in general being back in this part of the world, is it nice being so close back to New Zealand? DANNY LEE: Yeah. One thing for sure, I had plenty of meat pies this week. Q. Mince or steak? DANNY LEE: Whichever pie it is. 3 Tee-Scripts.com .

  • Danny Lee Q School
    Lee rounding into form at Q-School • By Sean Martin Golf Week • December 1, 2010 5:17 p.m. • Archive WINTER GARDEN, Fla. – Danny Lee’s first-round 74 at Q-School was hardly impressive, especially for this one-time phenom. But it was important. Over the course of six rounds at Q-School, a player likely will have a bad round. The key is minimizing the damage. Lee, the 2008 U.S. Amateur champion, was 4 over after six holes Wednesday. He made the turn in 40 strokes, half of those swipes coming on Orange County National’s relatively flat greens. He missed three par putts of 8 feet or less in his first six holes. PGA Qualifying School (Rd. 1) The first round of PGA Tour Qualifying School got underway Wednesday at Orange County National in Winter Garden, Fla., as 162 players try to secure a spot on the PGA Tour in 2011. Lee shot 2-under 34 on his second nine. He made a 40-foot birdie putt from the fringe on the par-3 sixth, his 15th hole, and sank a 6-foot birdie putt on his final green. Lee is tied for 97th after shooting 74, but he’s just three shots outside the all-important top 25. The top 25 at week’s end earn PGA Tour cards. Lee’s start Wednesday was hardly what you’d expect from this talented 20-year-old. The same could be said about this season. Lee finished 159th in the European Tour’s Race to Dubai (with just one top-25 in 22 starts), and fell to 455th in the Official World Golf Ranking, about 300 spots lower than the peak he reached as an amateur.

  • Te Western Amateur Championship
    Te Western Amateur Championship Records & Statistics Guide 1899-2020 for te 119t Westrn Amatur, July 26-31, 2021 Glen View Club Golf, Il. 18t editon compiled by Tim Cronin A Guide to The Guide –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Welcome to the 119th Western Amateur Championship, and the 18th edition of The Western Amateur Records & Statistics Guide, as the championship returns to the Glen View Club for the first time since the 1899 inaugural. Since that first playing, the Western Amateur has provided some of the best competition in golf, amateur or professional. This record book allows reporters covering the Western Am the ability to easily compare current achievements to those of the past. It draws on research conducted by delving into old newspaper files, and by going through the Western Golf Association’s own Western Amateur files, which date to 1949. A few years ago, a major expansion of the Guide presented complete year-by-year records and a player register for 1899 through 1955, the pre-Sweet Sixteen era, for the first time. Details on some courses and field sizes from various years remain to be found, but no other amateur championship has such an in-depth resource. Remaining holes in the listings will continue to be filled in for future editions. The section on records has been revised, and begins on page 8. This includes overall records, including a summary on how the medalist fared, and more records covering the Sweet Sixteen years. The 209-page Guide is in two sections. Part 1 includes a year-by-year summary chart, records, a special chart detailing the 37 players who have played in the Sweet Sixteen in the 63 years since its adoption in 1956 and have won a professional major championship, and a comprehensive report on the Sweet Sixteen era through both year-by-year results and a player register.

    Callaway Signs Former World #1 Amateur Ollie Schniederjans 22-year-old Georgia Tech Alum adds to Callaway's Impressive Roster of Young Star Players CARLSBAD, Calif., July 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Callaway Golf (NYSE: ELY) officially announced that it has reached a Staff Pro agreement with Ollie Schniederjans, the former #1 ranked amateur in the world for 41 consecutive weeks beginning in June of 2014. Schniederjans turned professional last week after an impressive showing in The Open Championship at St Andrews. In addition to being the top ranked amateur in the world, Schniederjans was a three-time NCAA All-American at Georgia Tech, a two-time Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Player of the Year, and the 2014 Mark H. McCormack Medal winner presented by the R&A. He represented the US Palmer Cup team in 2014 and 2015, and he was recently in contention during the 2015 US Open at Chambers Bay. "Ollie's collegiate golf success speaks for itself," said Nick Raffaele, VP Global Sports Marketing, Callaway Golf. "But as we began to know Ollie on a personal level and align our values, goals and objectives, we had no doubt he'd be a perfect fit with Team Callaway." At 22, Schniederjans will add to Callaway's roster of star players who are 25-years-old and under, joining Danny Lee, Patrick Reed, Tony Finau, Ryo Ishikawa, Matteo Manassero, Lydia Ko, and recent signee Julien Brun, among them. As a Full Callaway Staffer, he will use Callaway clubs, balls, gloves and an Odyssey Putter. You can follow him on Twitter @ollie_gt.

    Callaway Golf Signs U.S. Amateur Champion Danny Lee World's No. 1-Ranked Amateur Enters Professional Career on Callaway Staff CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Apr. 21, 2009-- Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) today announced an agreement with reigning U.S. Amateur Champion Danny Lee, officially beginning the professional career of the world’s No. 1-ranked amateur. Lee will endorse all Callaway Golf equipment and golf balls, carry a Callaway Golf branded bag and wear the Company’s logo. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. “I am happy to have Callaway Golf’s support as I begin this exciting new phase of my life,” said Lee. “I’ve been playing with Callaway’s equipment and golf balls during this important time in my career because I feel they put me in the best position to win. Now the stakes have been raised and I’m glad Callaway is with me as I meet the challenges ahead.” Lee, 18, earned significant attention last August when he unseated Tiger Woods and became the youngest player ever to win the U.S. Amateur. His remarkable amateur career gained another shot of momentum in February, when he won the Johnnie Walker Classic in Australia. This professional event was sanctioned by the European, Australian and Australasian tours and drew top talent from around the globe, including PGA Tour standouts Anthony Kim and Camilo Villegas. “When a rising star such as Danny is lighting up the amateur ranks and winning professional events while playing with your clubs and golf ball, it’s hard not to get excited,” said Nick Raffaele, Vice President of Sports Marketing, Callaway Golf.
