Kyung-ju Choi stood in front of the camera holding the winner's trophy for the 'The Senior Open', a major tournament of the US Professional Golf (PGA) Champions Tour held at Carnoustie Golf Links (par 72) in Scotland, England on the 29th. This is the first time that Kyung-ju Choi has won a major tournament on both the PGA Tour and the PGA Champions Tour.

Kyung-ju Choi (54) has become the first Korean to win a major tournament on the US PGA Champions Tour. The Champions Tour is a stage for players over the age of 50. On the

29th, Kyung-ju Choi recorded 1 eagle, 4 birdies, and 4 bogeys in the final 4th round of the PGA Champions Tour major tournament 'The Senior Open' held at Carnoustie Golf Links (par 72) in Scotland, UK, recording 2-under 70 strokes. With a final total of 10-under 278 strokes, Kyung-ju Choi won by 2 strokes over 2nd place Richard Green (53, Australia).

This is the first time that a Korean has won a major tournament on the Champions Tour. The US sports media ESPN reported on the same day, "Kyung-ju Choi has won a difficult major tournament," and "This is his first major win since his debut and his second win on the Champions Tour since 2021."

Starting the final day in the lead, K.J. Choi lost two strokes in the first half and gave up the lead for a moment, but won by reducing four strokes in the second half, including an eagle on the 14th hole (par 5). Regarding K.J. Choi's performance that day, the PGA Tour office said, "Carnoustie Golf Links, where the tournament was held, is one of the most difficult courses, but the unseasonably sunny weather in Scotland demanded a lot from K.J. Choi for all four days." "Despite the poor start, K.J. Choi showed resilience whenever faced with a difficult situation, and ultimately won her first senior major championship."

With this win, K.J. Choi has added 'another' record on the American stage. K.J. Choi, who debuted on the PGA Tour for the first time as a Korean in 2000, won the PGA Tour Compact Classic in 2002, becoming the first Korean to win the PGA Tour, and holds the record for the most wins by a Korean with 8 wins before retiring from the PGA Tour. In 2020, he became the first Korean to advance to the PGA Champions Tour, and the following year, he won the Pure Insurance Open, becoming the first Korean to win the Champions Tour.

K.J. Choi has also been able to resolve his 'resentment' of not having won a major tournament. This is because the only record that K.J. Choi has not achieved on the American stage so far is a major tournament win. In 2011, K.J. Choi became the first Korean player to win the PGA Tour Players Championship, also known as the 'fifth major tournament', but has not actually won the four major tournaments (Masters, PGA Championship, US Open, The Open Championship).

Choi Kyung-ju said, “Winning a major tournament was one of my wishes, so I played desperately because I really wanted to win,” and added, “Many people cheered me on, and I’m happy to share that joy with them. I’m proud of myself for making another historic record for Korean golf.” Choi Kyung-ju, who received $447,800 (approximately 600 million won) in prize money for her win, has now earned $1,254,008 (approximately 1.72 billion won) this season, moving up six places to fifth place in prize money rankings. Choi Kyung-ju’s goal for this season was to be ranked within the top five in prize money.
