K.J. Choi birdied his final two holes Friday to take the second-round lead at the British Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.
Choi shot a three-under 67 to become the only player under par at the season's third major championship. He finished 36 holes at one-under 139 and is one clear of 53-year-old two-time former winner Greg Norman.
Choi was two shots off Sergio Garcia's second-round lead last year at Carnoustie, but tied for eighth place. He has never won a major championship and feels he has the game plan to finally break through.
"In majors, it's the middle of the greens," said Choi, a seven-time winner on the PGA Tour. "Hitting the greens is very important. I've got good experience in 10 years."
He only hit 13 greens on Friday, but still moved one ahead of the amazing Norman.
