Hank Haney Doubles Down on Insensitive Remark After Jeongeun Lee6's US Open Win

After being suspended by SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio for insensitive remarks, Hank Haney believes he was proven right with Jeongeun Lee6 winning the 2019 U.S. Women's Open:

Hank Haney

Congratulations to Jeongeun Lee6 on your great win at the US Women’s Open. I knew you’d win. Who’s The Great Predictor now Steve Johnson @steveyrayj

The comments came after he used stereotypes to predict a winner for the major event.

According to Des Bieler of the Washington Post, Haney said on the radio show that he would "predict a Korean" to win and he would "go with 'Lee'" without adding a first name.
