Lee, 15, pressed hard but fell away with bogeys on the last two holes to tie for second with China’s Yin Yuan-Ru.
"I was missing greens and had to scramble all week so my main feeling is one of relief right now,” said the Singapore national player. “I won my national Amateur Championship earlier this season but this is my first overseas victory so definitely the best moment of my career so far."
Hong Kong’s Alice Karr claimed the Ladies Open Mid-Amateur Championship, also played on the New Course in Fanling, by a convincing eight shots.
