KJ Choi wins the Senior British Open with a 2-shot victory over Richard Green at Carnoustie
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (AP) — Overnight leader K.J. Choi won the Senior British Open by two shots over Australia’s Richard Green after carding a 2-under 70 on Sunday.
The South Korean golfer, who took a one-shot lead into the final round at Carnoustie, won his first senior major. He finished at 10-under 278.
“I prayed all week,” said Choi, who became the first South Korean to win a senior major. “Either way I started very nervous and some speed was off, which was the difference … I kept my attention and prayed. I felt more comfortable in the swing.”
Green (71), who was also chasing his first senior major victory, finished second. It was his third top-three place in senior majors this year.
