CARNOUSTIE, Scotland — KJ Choi birdied the final hole to regain the Senior British Open title after three rounds on Saturday.
The South Korean golfer leads by one shot in the final round at Carnoustie.
Choi, up by two overnight, led the field by six after 14 holes. Then consecutive bogeys set him back and, entering the 18th, he was tied with Richard Green, who carded a 4-under 68.
In the hole he bogeyed in the first two rounds, Choi birdied and closed with a 70.
Like Choi, Green has never won a major, but the Australian has finished in the top three at the top two majors this year.
Arjun Atwal of India was third, two strokes behind Choi at 6 under after a 67.
Atwal was twice beaten by England’s Paul Broadhurst, the 2016 champion.
