After heavy fog had caused much delay to play over the last two days, Choi had to return in the morning to complete his remaining nine holes for his third round. The Asian Tour honorary member was still trying to find the rhythm in his game as he marked his inward-nine with one bogey and one birdie. "I was starting to warm up when I came back in the morning to complete my third round. But once I got through those nine holes, three key elements came back into my game - see, feel and trust," said Choi. After taking a 15-minute break between rounds, Choi came out strongly with two birdies in his opening four holes. He dropped a shot on the ninth but responded with a hat-trick of birdies from the 11th. Choi then parred in to seal his sixth Asian Tour victory. "I could see, feel and trust every aspect of my ball striking as well as putting and from then on, I was really confident that I would go on and win," said Choi.
