South Korean golfer K.J. Choi shot his lowest round ever at Quail Hollow Club Thursday with a 4-under 68 to tie for 10th in the Wells Fargo Championship.

“Today I made many putts and I’m very confident,” Choi told PGATour.com. “The 4-under is my best score on this course. Usually I make the cut, but on the bottom side. My goal this year is more inside the top-25.”

The 44-year-old veteran carded five birdies and a single bogey, which came at the lengthy 452-yard par 4 third.

Additionally the hole is  a dogleg left, which Choi admitted gave him a bit more trouble.

“I practiced cutting, but you have to draw on this course,” he said referring to the shape of shots demanded by the layout.”

Robert Streb currently leads the tournament after shooting a 7-under 64.

Bae Sang-moon finished with a 2-under 70 in a round where he had more birdies and bogeys than he did pars. He is currently tied for 30th.
