Again, the amateur star attracted huge galleries, with everyone eager to see if the 18-year-old is all he is cracked up to be.
When he teed off, at 8.20am, about 15 people watched his drive on the 10th hole.
By the second hole, Lee's 11th, the gallery had swelled to nearly 300.
Lee looked chilled in the morning, clambering into a red jacket between shots, and he bogied his second hole.
But he warmed up with four consecutive birdies, on the 14th to the 17th, and turned in 33.
It could have been better.
Lee nearly had an eagle at the par-four 15th hole - the party hole - but his second shot halted 2cm from the cup.
Things got a little rougher from there. Lee was at four under with four to play, when he went bogey, par, bogey, bogey.
He whacked a club into the ground in frustration on one hole and there was a report - unconfirmed - that he threw a club on another.
Still, Lee is well placed to push on today and make the cut.
The leading amateur after the first round was actually Thomas Spearman-Burn, who had a nasty seven on the par-five ninth hole but added five birdies to finish on a two-under 70.
The two other amateurs struggled.
Ryan Fox, watched by father and All Black great Grant, carded 77 and Sam Ma had 76.
