Choi makes top 10 at Medinah

Korea's Choi Kyung-ju enjoyed a top-10 finish at the US PGA Championship at Medinah Country Club on Sunday, closing with a final round one-under-par 71.

The Asian stalwart signed off with five birdies against four bogeys on the card in the year's final major and his four-day total of 10-under-par 278 was good for tied seventh place.

World number one Tiger Woods claimed his career 12th major with a five-shot triumph after firing a 68. It was his third successive victory since returning to the winner's circle at the British Open in July.

American Shaun Micheel, who plied in his trade in Asia previously and is a former Singapore Open champion, finished second after a 69 while Australian Adam Scott, who will defend his Barclays Singapore Open title next month, was third with Spaniard Sergio Garcia and England's Luke Donald after a 67.

Former Asian regular Daniel Chopra of Sweden ended his week with a 71 for tied 41st place.
