Danny Lee: I almost lost my mind out there

Danny Lee's concentration eventually wavered in the fierce winds for the first round of the Scottish golf Open in Inverness.

He was tied for the lead until a wayward tee shot at the 18th hole lead to a double bogey, as the New Zealand number one slipped to 1-under-par, and two shots off the pace.

Lee's in Scotland after the cancellation of the Greenbrier Classic in flood-stricken West Virginia, which cost him a chance of defending his PGA Tour title there.

But he's philosophical about the late blot on his scorecard.

"After I hit a shot it was so freaking windy, I didn't know where it went.

I almost lost my mind out there.

It's not a bad start, if I didn't make the double.

I still made quite a few birdies".
