GOLF Danny Lee shoots a 62 to lead Mayakoba Classic in Mexico

Danny Lee finished a oneshot lead over Adam Long and Brendon Todd, who resurrecte­d his career two weeks ago with a win in the Bermuda Championsh­ip.

He shot 29 on the front nine, including a five-hole stretch he played in 6 under. The 62 matched his careerbest round on the PGA Tour, a 62 he shot in the third round of the 2015 John Deere Classic.

Defending champion Matt Kuchar had a pair of double bogeys in his round of 69 that left him seven shots behind. Jason Day, playing at Mayakoba for the first time in 10 years, shot 70.

Lee's only PGA Tour victory was four years ago at the Greenbrier.

He was runner-up to Kuchar a year ago, and he tied for third at Mayakoba in 2015.

“Something about this course that just suits my eye very well,” Lee said. “I can read the breaks very well and I putted very well today.

He had four birdies on each side against no bogeys on the rain-softened course.
