K.J. Choi (FJ ICON #52366 and StaSof) emerged from the star studded field to win THE PLAYERS Championship at TPC Sawgrass.  Inclement weather on the previous day forced most of the field to play extra holes on Sunday.  Choi began his Sunday on the 11th hole, finishing his last 7 holes in 2 under par to post a 67, 1 shot off of the 54 hole lead. 

Choi quietly plodded his way around the Stadium course avoiding any major mistakes.  His birdie on the famous island green 17th gave him sole possession of the lead at 13-under par.  The pressure was then on Choi to par the last hole and force a playoff after his playing partner birdied 18.  Choi saved par and the sudden death playoff was set.  

On the first playoff hole, Choi played conservatively to the wider left side of the 17th green and trusted he could get down in two strokes.  K.J. hit a perfect lag putt and made the next to win THE PLAYERS Championship.  This is K.J.'s 8th career victory on the PGA Tour and by far the largest victory of his career.  Later Choi said, "For me to shoot under par on this course every day, it's like a miracle, to be honest with you."
