FROM THE GOLF.COM WEBSITE
JEJU ISLAND, South Korea (AP) — Tournament host K J Choi won the Asian Tour's C J Invitational today, closing with a 5-under 67 for a two-stroke victory.
The world 14th-ranked South Korean star finished at 17 under at Haesley Nine Bridges Golf Club.
"I had so much things going on, I didn't really think about the win. I was busy looking after the players and taking care of the sponsors," Choi said.
"Probably the fact that I wasn't thinking about the tournament helped me feel at ease. The way it turned out, I'm happy to be the inaugural champion even though I am hosting this event, it gives a special meaning."
Countryman Noh Seung-yeol was second after a 66.
American Anthony Kim (73) and third-round leader Lee Ki-sang (74) tied for third at 13 under.
"It was a tough day," Kim said. "I tried everything I could. The ball didn't want to go into the hole. But K.J. played amazing. He made the putts when he needed to."
