The Korean, who represented the Philippines in the tournament, was penalized four strokes during the last round. Cho, playing at the 12th, accidentally hit her ball while addressing herself for a putt (2 strokes). She was again penalized(2 strokes) while on the 17th after accidentally hitting an opponent's ball. The 11-year-old Korea native, who was recruited early January by coach Bong Lopez as an understudy in his team, netted a 249 (84-79-86). She had a better final round (86) to win by count-back over Indonesian Hashila Rival (88-249). "I'm very happy because this is my first victory. I hope I can bring more home trophies for the country," said Choi whose father is currently based and doing business in Davao City. - Adrian Flores, GMANews.TV
