K.J. Choi Wins the 2007 Memorial Tournament
K.J. Choi fired a final-round 65 to win the 32nd Memorial Tournament at Muirfield Village Golf Club by one shot over Ryan Moore.
Choi's victory at the Memorial was his fifth-career PGA TOUR win. He has recorded at least one victory in each of his past three seasons on TOUR.
Choi began the final round five shots behind third-round leader Rod Pampling. His victory is the largest comeback on the 2007 PGA TOUR in a final round. Playing in the final group, Pampling and Adam Scott were one-stoke back with two holes to play but each fell short as they bogeyed No. 17. Pampling pared the final hole to finish in a tie for third with Kenny Perry, while Scott finished with back-to-back bogeys and dropped into a four-way tie for fifth place.
