Lee's late flourish caps fruitful day for Asia's aces

Asian golf celebrated a record of three players advancing into the Tour Championship following a final-round flourish by South Korea's KH Lee, who finished tied fifth at the BMW Championship after a superb 6-under 65 on Sunday.

Lee, who was heartbroken after missing the FedExCup Playoffs finale by one rung last season, joins countryman Im Sung-jae and Japanese star Hideki Matsuyama at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta where the top 30 players will battle for the PGA Tour's ultimate prize, the FedExCup.

Rising star Tom Kim Joo-hyung failed to extend his dream run after finishing tied-54th at the BMW Championship to bow out of the playoffs－dropping from 25th to 33rd in the standings. However, it was still a Sunday to remember when the 20-year-old officially sealed a debut appearance for the International Team who will face the United States in the Presidents Cup next month.
