The player who seems to be in the best position to catch or even overtake Choi is countryman Charlie Wi. Through 10 holes he is at -4 for the day and -5 for the tournament.
Choi began to make his charge on the 446-yard, par 4 No. 4 hole where his birdie kickstarted a run of five birdies in his his next six holes. He only had one bogey in the round, giving one back on the par 4 No. 11 hole. But he was able to get back-to-back birdies on Nos. 15 and 16.
Co-first round leaders Hunter Haas and Adam Scott both fell back with over par performances. Scott now sits in eighth after shooting a 71 and Haas went all the way back to 30th after a 74 that included a double-bogey on No. 10.
