Korean golfer Choi Kyung-ju, widely known as K.J. Choi, grabbed his first victory of the season on Sunday. Choi finished a final round of 7 under 65 Sunday to win the Memorial tournament by one stroke over Ryan Moore, in Dublin, Ohio. Choi started the day five strokes behind the third-round leader Rod Pampling, but charged big on the opening nine holes by carding a 30. After cooling down on the back nine, Choi scrambled to save par on his last three holes.
