How good is K.J. Choi?
That's not a rhetorical question. After a wire-to-wire 3-stroke victory at this week's Sony Open, Choi now must be ranked -- either officially or informally -- among the game's best players, vaulting into the world's top 10 and proving himself to be a worthy contender on any course.
Perhaps no statistic better shows his place among the game's elite than the following: Entering the 2008 season, only five players had won PGA Tour events in at least three straight seasons -- Tiger Woods (12 consecutive years with a win), Vijay Singh (six), Phil Mickelson (four), Jim Furyk (three) and … you got it, Choi (three). Now Choi has the upper hand on the remaining quartet, the first to extend his streak this season.
Meanwhile, Ernie Els hasn't won a PGA Tour title in any of the past three seasons. The Weekly 18 begins with his quest to snap that unfortunate streak.
