“It was a tough match(against Kyriacou). I was two down and made a few birdies to win,”
“I’ve been practising pretty hard, so its a thrill to get to the final,” she smiled.
“I would love to see my name on the title. It’s been a long time since I won but it would be nice to do it again.?? Choi believes the experience of winning the title once before will stand her in good stead against a tough opponent.
“I've played this every year since I won it (in 2014) and I haven’t been close, so hopefully tomorrow, I’ll have a good day and see what happens,” she smiled.?
