The golfer was easily able to claim his victory with a spectacular 25ft birdie at the third play-off hole while he stood tied with Carlos Ortiz, Brendan Steele, and Louis Oosthuizen. However, winning a four-man playoff was nothing new for the golf star. “Last win I had was also a four-man play-off,” he mentioned. “Maybe it was a coincidence, I don’t know. But it feels pretty amazing right now.”
Danny Lee became the youngest US Am champ in ‘08, beating Tiger’s record by 6 months. Then became the youngest winner on the European Tour and 2nd ever amateur by winning the Johnnie Walker in ‘09. Now, he’s taken down an Open Champ to win 4 million bucks in his 2nd LIV event👏🇳🇿 pic.twitter.com/qQlsF6ES88

However, even though he won the tournament in his own unique style, fans had other concerns. When the video of the player hitting the final putt was posted on Twitter, several pages shared it for golf fans. And as it was clearly seen, several golf enthusiasts got together to call out Lee for anchoring his putt!

For those who don’t know, an anchored putt is when a player intentionally holds a forearm in contact using any other body part while making the putt. Golfers usually do it to make sure that the putt is stable. But as of now, it is banned under the Rules of Golf. And the fact that no one pointed it out even after his win, is what got the nerves of the fans. Here’s how some of them reacted:
Anchored but its only an exhibition so who cares

Do they allow anchoring on LIV? May as well. Didn’t see much daylight between that shirt and the putter.

Now all he needs to do is stop anchoring the damn putter, and we’ll start liking him.
