Korea's Choi targets treble in CJ Invitational

South Korean star K.J. Choi Wednesday said he was hoping to become the first player to win the same Asian Tour event three times in a row at this week's C.J. Invitational. Choi, who hosts the event, won the inaugural edition in 2011 and defended his title last year. However, the eight-time PGA Tour winner is without a victory this season. "I’m eyeing a third win in this event but obviously it won’t be easy," said Choi, ahead of the $750,000 event in Yeoju, South Korea. "No player has done it on the Asian Tour before and I hope to be the first. But I'll also be happy if a younger player wins this event as well." Former major-winner David Toms, Kiradech Aphibarnrat, Gaganjeet Bhullar and Scott Hend, who won last week's Taiwan Masters are also in the field. Source: AFP
