Worldwide victories: 12

Majors: None

2007 Majors: Masters-T27, U.S. Open-MC, British Open-T8

Best finish at Southern Hills: Cut ('01 U.S. Open)

Backspin: Majors sometimes are won by guys who are having great years that no one notices until they win a major. Choi might be a great candidate, having won at Memorial and the AT&T National at Congressional, both with strong performances on the back nine.

He has all the qualities of a major champion. No Asian-born player has ever won a major.
