South Korean KJ Choi took the fourth US title of his career when he won the Chrysler Championship, while there was also good news for Darren Clarke.

Choi carded a four-under-par 67 to finish four strokes clear of Brett Wetterich (66) and Paul Goydos (70), while Ernie Els (72) faded to tie for sixth after starting the day just one shot behind.

Choi finished at 13-under 271 in delightful conditions at Innisbrook for his fourth victory on tour, one more than Japan's Shigeki Maruyama.

Northern Irishman Clarke finished the season at 125th on the money list, the cut-off point at which players keep their full playing privileges on the US Tour.

The only players who could have overtaken Clarke on the last day were Goydos, who finished as runner-up to move to 97th on the money list, and Duffy Waldorf, who was 131st. He needed at least a 67 but shot 72. Meanwhile Justin Rose finished with a two-under 282.
