Lee shot a 5-under 66 in the final round of LIV Golf Singapore on March 15 at Sentosa Golf Club (par 71). He finished at 14-under 270 and forced a playoff with Bryson DeChambeau of the United States.
The playoff ended on the first extra hole, the par-5 18th. Lee had a chance to win but missed a birdie putt of about 8 meters. DeChambeau made par, and Lee then missed a 1-meter par putt, handing DeChambeau the trophy.
Lee, who joined LIV Golf this year, earned $2.25 million (about 3.37 billion won) for second place — more than his career prize money on the Korea Professional Golfers' Association Tour, which stands at 2.58 billion won.
DeChambeau collected $4 million (about 6 billion won) and claimed his fourth LIV Golf victory, his first in about 10 months since the LIV Golf Korea event in May last year.
Also in the field, Song Young-han of the Korean Golf Club finished tied for 39th at 1-over 285. An Byeong-hun tied for 42nd at 2-over 286, Danny Lee of New Zealand tied for 47th at 3-over 287, and Kim Min-gyu was last in 57th at 25-over 309.
