Lee pulls out of French Open
The Worksop golfer, who finished 74th at the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut last week, says his recent schedule has taken a toll.
He said: “It is with much regret I have decided to withdraw from the French Open.”
“A long run of events has left me fatigued.”

The Travelers was the 40-year-old’s 15th tournament of 2013, and began well as he started with a three-under round of 67.
A three-over round followed on Friday, and although he improved by shooting a 69 on Saturday, the final round was a disappointment as he finished with a 78.
His next outing will be the 142nd Open at Muirfield, Scotland from 18th July.
