Choi topples Toms in Hockey Playoffs ? Recreation And Sports

Republish this article
South Korea?s KJ Choi has come from behind, reeled in the night leaders David Toms and then beaten us on the first extra hole of his sudden death match that really a dramatic first victory in the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass in Florida.
Victory, 40-year-old Choi?s greatest ever, and his eighth on the US PGA Tour, strengthened the tough former paratrooper assertion that Asia?s most successful winner ever in the United States and held Americans of winning location for a fourth year. (Callaway Warbird iron set)
Spain?s Sergio Garcia (2008), Sweden?s Henrik Stenson (2009) and South Africa?s Tim Clark (2010), who had to retire during the first round this year with an ongoing elbow injury, are the three players champions as Choi succeeded.
Choi, who previously had seen fellow countryman YE Yang, 2009 PGA Champion miss the cut, kept his nerve to make par at the treacherous 17th hole after Toms, seeking his first victory on the PGA Tour for more than five years, had three-putted from 18 feet.
It had few Choi a shot clear heading down finally after Toms, who was still a one-shot up preparation on the 16th, had bogeyed the long par-five holes by Callaway Warbird iron that when he found water with his second shot and had fallen back into a tie with Choi.
Toms was not finished, however. He fought back with an ice-cool 20-foot birdie putt to tie it at last, everything at 13-under and force the play-off with Callaway Warbird iron set.
Meanwhile, Graeme McDowell, three clear of playing when they fill out the delayed third round earlier in the day, double-bogeyed the 18th and then nuances of compatriot Rory McIlroy in the Masters, imploderade in the final round, blowing itself out of the tournament with a closing 79, the worst round of the day and only one worse than McIlroy outgoing 80 at Augusta.
McDowell, try to add what is often referred to simply as golf?s unofficial fifth major to his US Open win last summer ended finally at 33 after his nightmare first round.
Choi, whose tight control of his iron shots were perhaps his greatest strength, have not always seen as the nerveless in a final round as he did in the biggest victory of his career. And he was well aware of it.
He said: ?the back nine is really hard and asks a lot of pressure on you, but for some reason today I felt very comfortable out there.
?I have worked with my coach Steve Bann swing in over six years now and we have been through a lot of work together.
?Swing that I have right now is not really explode in pressure situations.?
In the meantime the luckless Toms, who won the US PGA Championship in 2001, but in a spell troubled by injury, has not won in 124 starts since Hawaii in 2006, was looking for some positive to take from Sawgrass.

He was very pleased with the way in which he gave up on the 31 holes he played Callaway Warbird iron as today.
?With leadership or being around the lead all the time, it?s tough when you haven?t been there for a while and when you haven?t played this Golf course well.
-Of course, three to put in the match was not what I would do, but I thought I had made the first put operation.
?I was probably thinking ahead and think on the next hole and I just got up and missed it.
?It was a long time since I?ve been in this position, to be in the lead on a tough Golf course, it shows that I can still do it.
?I must work on that, if I had putted well, I could have put some distance between me and the others.?
Graeme McDowell, who earlier this week had said he believed swing problems which had its match in years were behind him, declared after his meltdown: ?the last round was up there in my top 10 worst last rounds ever so that comes to a little hurt by course?.
?Honestly, I knew I was running of steam a bit. After bogeys at six and seven, I felt the energy that sucks right out to me. I went flat and everything I tried to do was a bit wrong. (Callaway Warbird iron set)
?I felt my legs were a little tired this afternoon. I was up at 4. 35 am (to play in the last 12 holes of his third round), but it was the same for all, there are no excuses.
McDowell, who came to the event on the back of three missed cuts in his four previous starts added: I said that whatever happened at the weekend, I will remove some really great positive and I have.
Another veteran American, Paul Goydos, shot his third 69 of the week to finish third, two shots behind Choi and Toms and claim his second top-three finish at the players during the last four years.
Two of the brightest young talents on both sides of the Atlantic, American Nick Watney and Britain?s Luke Donald, tied for fourth, three shots off the lead.
Donald earned his seventh consecutive top ten finish on the PGA Tour and hoisted him up to number two in the world after fellow Englishman Lee Westwood.
