Golf-Lee and Scott duel at Australian PGA, tearful Smith misses cut


(Reuters) - Min Woo Lee shot a five-under-par 66 to lead former world number one Adam Scott by a shot at the halfway stage of the Australian PGA Championship on Friday as reigning champion Cameron Smith shot a woeful 78 to miss the cut by a hefty margin.

Lee grabbed the first two of his six birdies in the opening three holes to hit the top of the leaderboard but former Masters champion Scott played some brilliant golf to stay on the 25-year-old's heels throughout the day at Royal Queensland.
