Robert Lee (born 12 October 1961) is anEnglish professionalgolfer and television presenter.
In 1961, Lee was born inLondon.
In 1982, he turned professional. He was in his prime from 1985 to 1987 finishing in the top thirty of theEuropean Tour Order of Merit each of those years. He twice shot 27 for nine holes on the tour, first at the 1985Monte Carlo Open, and again two years later at the 1987Portuguese Open. He went on to win the latter, one of his two victories on the European Tour. He also seriously competed for the1985 Open Championship in the opening rounds. He was in second place after the first round and only two back after the second round. He faded over the weekend but picked up a top-25 finish.
From the late 1980s Lee's form dipped, and he spent the latter half of the 1990s going back and forth between the second-tierChallenge Tour and the main European Tour.[1] Since leaving the tour at the end of the 1999 season, Lee has worked as an analyst forSky Sports.
