Choi ready for prime time with story as remarkable as his swing
0:003:06PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. – Ho-Sung Choi climbed the steps to the platform for his news conference Tuesday at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, bowed to assembled media and then struck his famous off-balance fisherman’s pose.
His quirky signature swing got him a laugh before he uttered a word in his first American news conference.
“It is my first time here in the United States, so I can't even put into words how incredibly happy and grateful I am to have this opportunity here,” Choi said through a translator.
Choi couldn’t have picked a better place to introduce himself to American audiences as he prepares to make his PGA Tour debut on a sponsor’s exemption.
