MEDIA RELEASE FROM THE ASIAN TOUR
Asian Tour honorary member K J Choi of South Korea savoured the winning feeling all over again when he completed an energy-sapping week with a closing four-under-par 67 to win the C J Invitational Hosted by himself today.
Well known for his dedication to charitable causes, Choi will once again donate his total winnings of US$118, 875 to his K J Choi Foundation, just as he did following his victory last year.

Choi, the tournament host, walked away with the title for the second consecutive year with a winning total of 15-under-par 269.

“I’ve always said that this tournament is all about giving back to the community and that’s what I’m going to do with my winnings. I would never be where I’m today if not for golf and the great support from everyone,” said Choi.
