Choi shot a final round of 68 to finish at nine-under 271, three strokes ahead of America’s Steve Stricker.The 37-year-old had bogeys on 10, 11 and 13 to go a stroke behind Stricker, bidding for his first title since 2001.But he birdied the 15th to get back on track while Stricker bogeyed 14 and 15 to slip back and ended with a 70 to finish three shots behind Choi.Choi, who won the Jack Nicklaus-hosted
Memorial last month, had a birdie on 17, blasting out of a sand trap and into the cup with perhaps the best shot of the tournament.Tiger Woods, who hosted the $6m tournament at Congressional County Club near Bethesda, shot a final-round 70 to finish at two-under 278 and in a tie for seventh place.Australian Stuart Appleby opened the day two strokes clear of the field but stumbled with a final-round 76 and finished in a tie with Pat Perez and Jim Furyk for third place.
