PGA TOUR 2021 - AT&T Byron Nelson, TPC Craig Ranch, TX: 13-16 May - Final
K.H. Lee wins Byron Nelson & a place in the PGA Championship
From the Daily Wrap-up, by AP:
K.H. Lee was more than happy to play through a steady downpour in the final round of the AT&T Byron Nelson, and didn’t mind waiting out a weather delay of more than two hours Sunday.
His win earned him fully-exempt status through the 2022-23 PGA TOUR season, 500 FedExCup points and entry into many of the game's biggest event's, starting with this week's PGA Championship.
Lee also earned his first PGA TOUR victory and became the second consecutive AT&T Byron Nelson winner from South Korea by finishing at 25 under, three ahead of third-round leader Sam Burns.
Heavy rain fell most of the back nine for the leaders, with puddles showing up on greens over the final holes and one ball in the fairway stuck in the middle of a fast-moving stream. The players slogged through the deluge before lightning forced a delay. Read more

With some of his round played in an utter downpour, the South Korean who has slowly but surely climbed up the rankings finally had his day in the sun — scratch that — winner’s circle. Despite a lengthy weather delay, Lee finished the event at 25 under, topping the field at TPC Craig Ranch by three strokes. Read more
