Golfer D.H. Lee caught by TV camera flipping bird to fans [Video]

So much for golf being a gentleman’s game: D.H. Lee was caught on camera making an obscene gesture toward fans in the gallery after hitting a wayward shot Saturday.

Lee shot a second-round 66 to vault into contention for the AT&T National tournament at Congressional in Bethesda, Md., but struggled in the third round, during which he shot a 75.

Lee hit his approach shot at the par-four No. 12 over the green and scrambled to make a bogey. After the bad approach, he looked toward fans and gave them the middle finger.

The 25-year-old from South Korea said he wasn’t reacting to a heckler in the crowd.

“I’m sorry for that,� Lee said in an interview with the Golf Channel. “No, it was just for me. My ball. It was frustration. It wasn’t aimed at anyone.�

Lee, who finished the third round tied for 20th, moved back to the first page of the leaderboard Sunday when he was six under par -- the best score for the day thus far -- through 15 holes of the final round. He trails leader Bill Haas by three strokes and Roberto Castro by one.
