Albin Choi, a veteran of the Team Canada Young Pro Squad, finished T5 at the Web.com Tour’s BMW Charity Pro-Am Classic presented by Synnex Corporation, after Sunday’s final round was cancelled due to inclement weather.
The Toronto product finished at 15-under par, four shots back of the 54-hole leader, crowned champion Stephan Jaeger of Germany.
After 36 holes, Choi was in a tie for 14th, thanks to rounds of 66-67. On Saturday at Furman University Golf Club in Greenville, S.C., Choi fired another 66 to climb nine spots up the leaderboard.
