Lee turned professional after graduating from the University of Washington in 2010, and missed out by one shot on obtaining a card for the Professional Golf Association Tour at that winter"s qualifying school. Lee returned to the qualifying school that winter and was successful in earning a Professional Golf Association 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.
