Danny Lee in tie for eight after first round of Bridgestone Invitational

10:42 am on 7 August 2009

The New Zealand golfer Danny Lee is tied for 8th at the Bridgestone Invitational in Ohio after completing a two under par 67 in the opening round.

The 19 year old, who admitted this week to being somewhat confused by all the advice he's received since turning pro, is four strokes behind leader Padraig Harrington of Ireland.

A good result here could see Lee gain enough money to secure a US tour card for next year.

Tiger Woods is 2 under par.
