AVONDALE, La. – Charlie Wi thought he’d given up PGA Tour life in October, after the first round of the Sanderson Farms event.
He had dinner with K.J. Choi that night in Mississippi.
“K.J., I think I’m done,” Wi said.
“Oh, shut up,” Choi replied.
But Wi really meant it – that was his last Tour start for six months, before answering Choi’s call to be his partner at this week’s Zurich Classic.
Despite playing only six rounds of golf this year, total, Wi teamed with Choi to shoot a 5-under 67 Thursday, leaving them just one shot off the early lead.
