Former Boiler Chella Choi Wins First LPGA Title

You're damn right we're a golf school. LPGA member Chella Choi was not a member of Purdue's national championship squad a few years ago, but the former Boilers earned her LPGA card in 2009. This weekend she won her first ever LPGA event by taking the Marathon Classic in a playoff:

Chella Choi parred the first playoff hole to defeat fellow South Korean Jang Ha-Na Sunday for her first US LPGA Tour title at the Marathon Classic and likely send her father into retirement.

Choi forced the playoff with overnight leader Jang with a five-under par 66 that included five birdies without a bogey.
