You can only win your first PGA Tour event once. Unfortunately for Danny Lee, he’s not able to defend his maiden title at this year’s Greenbrier Classic due to the catastrophic floods that forced the 2016 edition of the tournament to be canceled.
With his defense week now open on his schedule, Lee traveled to Scotland to play in the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open. In a show of honorable Lee is doing a different kind of defending for the Greenbrier.
I’m donating little bit of money to west Virginia @The_Greenbrier ! I’m sure lots of people going through tough time right now hope I can-

Lee’s plea to the Golf Gods seemed to pay off. Through two rounds, Lee sits at 7-under par and one stroke back of the 36-hole leader Alex Noren. What’s even better is that the New Zealand native has made 11 birdies through his first two rounds and has racked up $5,500 in donations.
11 birdies. $5500.
