Haney defends his 'prediction' as Lee6 marches to victory

Hank Haney reinserted himself in the narrative of this week's U.S. Women's Open with two strident tweets Sunday, as South Korea's Jeongeun Lee6 was busy closing out her first major victory.

Haney used the occasion to attempt to justify the comments that got him suspended from his SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio show.

Shortly after Haney sent his tweet, Lee6 emerged victorious over Celine Boutier, marking the ninth win by a South Korean in the last 15 playings of the U.S. Women's Open.

It's a too-good-to-be-true ending to a week that kicked off with Haney dismissing the event, the LPGA itself and Korean players in general.
