Choi Takes One Stroke Lead Over ‘Shark’ At Open
19/07/2008 05:30
K.J. Choi is the new clubhouse leader at one-under par at the British Open after a sparkling round of 67.
Choi stole the headlines from two-time Open champion Greg Norman who was able to turn back the clock with back-to-back rounds of even par.
Coming in to the day two-over par, Choi got hot on the back nine at the Royal Birkhead with three birdies to grab the outright lead from Norman.
Although Choi is in search of his first major championship, he feels he is ready to take that next step.
"In majors, it's the middle of the greens," said Choi. "Hitting the greens is very important. I've got good experience in 10 years."

SWIVEL HIPS SAYS:
It is great to see the ‘Shark’ playing so well, defying “Father Time” and turning back the clock this week. If Norman is able to win, he would be the oldest player (53) to ever win a major championship.
