Jay Choi fired a 4 under par, 67 to move into a tie for 5th place at the JGTO Token Homemate Cup 2012 being played this week in Nagoya, Japan. Choi needed only 11 putts on the front nine that included 4 birdies and 5 pars for a 31. A bogey on number 14 was the only blemish on Choi’s scorecard, but he birdied the 15th to shoot even par and a second round 67. The former University of New Mexico All-American required only 25 putts in his second round and recorded only 1 bogey in 36 holes.
Choi worked on his putting stroke in the off season with his coach, George Pinnell. After spending considerable time on the Sam PuttLab, Choi was able to isolate his stroke issue and is working hard to keep the putter on path with a square face. Jay’s short game work is also paying off as the only bogey is a result of a 3 putt. Jay is 100% (11 for 11) in getting up and down for par and highlights the importance of chipping and putting to posting lower scores.
Choi is 3 shots off the lead, held by Tatsunori Nukaga who shot 64-69 (133). Yui Ueda and Richard Lee are tied for 2nd at -7. Jay’s third round tee time is 6 pm Pacific Coast Time.
