Choi may well own the strangest golf swing seen on Tour right now.
He takes the art of a balanced finish position to a whole new level!
Check out his driver swing...
Course management? He doesn't subscribe to that.
"I have never seen someone play golf with this much swagger"
Choi would have qualified for next month's Open Championship at Carnoustie had he won.
Unfortunately a poor final round meant he finished in a tie for 5th place, although he reportedly Monday Qualified for the Korean Open so just being there was an achievement.
The 44-year-old has won once on the Japan Golf Tour and twice on the Korean Tour.
His current world ranking is 500 whilst his career-high is 326th.
