Chella Choi Beats Ha Na Jang in Playoff in Marathon Classic

SYLVANIA, Ohio — Ji Leon Choi promised his daughter he would caddie for her until she won the LPGA Tour.

Chella Choi isn't so sure she's ready to break up the team after winning the Marathon Classic on Sunday.

"My father wants to retire because we promise, but I don't know," Choi said. "We will talk later."

The 24-year-old South Korean player broke through in her 157th start on the tour, beating compatriot Ha Na Jang with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff.

"You know, first time win is hard," Choi said.
