OOLTEWAH, Tenn. -- Australias Min Woo Lee waited out a 47-minute weather delay to hole the winning 3 1/2-foot birdie putt Saturday in the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship.The 17-year-old Lee beat 16-year-old Noah Goodwin of Corinth, Texas, 2 and 1 in the 36-hole final at The Honors Course. Lee became the first Australian winner and combined with older sister Minjee to become the first brother-sister tandem to win USGA junior championships. Minjee Lee won the 2012 U.S. Girls Junior.Im down in history on the USGA Junior trophy, so it feels really good, Lee said. Its probably the best Ive ever felt. Its a dream come true for me. Ive always wanted to win this tournament. I was in good form coming into it. I knew I had a good chance. It feels great to win and be on the trophy with names such as Tiger [Woods].Minjee Lee is a two-time LPGA Tour winner.I think we made history, so thats pretty cool, Minjee Lee said from the LPGA Tours UL International Crown in Illinois. I just told him at the beginning of the day to just have fun. Im glad that he came out winning, and its great for both of us.On the par-5 35th hole, Goodwin found the green with his second shot, while Lees approach came up just short in a grass bunker. Goodwins long downhill eagle try rolled 9 feet by the hole. Lee followed with a flop shot that stopped 3 1/2 feet from the hole. Goodwin pulled his par putt and, as Lee was lining up the potential winning putt, the USGA blew the horn because of inclement weather.After the delay, Lee converted the birdie putt.I had a few minutes to come together and just think about that putt, and think about the other putts that Ive had similar to that one, Lee said. I missed a few low, so I thought I would hit it a bit higher. It went right in the middle.Lee took the lead with a birdie in the par-3 34th hole.I couldnt have lost to a better player, Goodwin said. He pushed me and challenged me every single shot today. I played my butt off today. I played great. I got beat by a better player. In the end, thats what its all about. This tournament is just about finding the best player this week.Lee, 131st in the world amateur ranking, said the Pete Dye-designed Honors is the best course Ive ever played. Its a great match-play course. Its challenging in every way.Goodwin is ranked 35th.I learned I can play with the best [junior] players in the world, Goodwin said. I kind of already knew that, but its always nice to just have more experience doing it and everything. My wedges were great this week, and that was one of the things that kept me going the entire time. I just need to polish up my irons a little bit more, though, and I can do that over a period of time.Henry Ellenson Jersey . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.
