Kyung-Joo Choi tied for 5th place…

3 under par 68 in the final 3rd round of the PGA Tour Champions Hog Classic Newport Beach (total prize money: $2 million) held at Newport Beach Country Club (par 71) in Newport Beach, California, USA on the 24th (local time). He finished tied for 5th place (10 under par, 203 strokes). This is the first time that he has entered the top 10 in the Champions Tour for those over 50 years old.

Prior to this competition, Choi Gyeong-ju participated in four major competitions and placed in the top 20 in all of them, but did not make it to the top 10. His best result was a tie for 13th at last month's Trophy Hassan II. Choi Gyeong-ju reduced 4 strokes through 13 holes to catch up with leader Padrigue Harrington (Ireland), but withdrew from the championship race with a bogey at the 17th hole (par 3).

Harrington hit 2 under par and won by 1 stroke (14 under par, 199 strokes). He was unable to reduce the number of strokes by trading 2 birdies and 2 bogeys in 16 holes, but confirmed the win with consecutive birdies on the 17th and 18th holes. It is his first win this year and his seventh win in his career on the senior tour, and the winning prize is $300,000 (about 400 million won). Thongchai Zaidi (Thailand) performed well in second place (13 under par, 200 strokes). Yang Yong finished the tournament in a tie for 11th place (6 under par, 207 strokes), and Wi Chang-soo finished in a tie for 15th place (5 under par, 208 strokes).
