NA YEON CHOI CLAIMS FIRST TITLE SINCE 2012
Na Yeon Choi overcame Friday's two shot deficit to win the inaugural Coates Golf Championship presented by R+L Carriers with a 16 under par score this evening in front of an enthusiastic crowd at Golden Ocala Golf & Equestrian Club in Ocala, Fla. This is the eighth career victory for the South Korean golfer.
Choi trailed Lydia Ko by one stroke going into hole 17. She was able to par 17 under pressure as Ko double bogeyed, giving Choi a one shot lead going into the final hole. Ko played aggressive going for the green in two, while Choi laid up and played safe; Ko pared the hole, leaving Choi with a tap-in putt for the victory.
Ko's second place finish awarded her with the projected number 1 in the Rolex World Ranking, making her the youngest male or female golfer to occupy the top position in the world.
