After placing sixth in CU’s season opener last month, the junior from Australia finished third out of 78 players on Tuesday in the Windy City Collegiate Championship in Wilmette, Ill.
Choi (left) shot rounds of 72-69-72 for a 3-under-par 213 total, which left her seven strokes behind Windy City champion Gabriela Ruffels of Southern California.
It was the seventh top-five individual finish of Choi’s CU career.
The Buffs as a team placed ninth out of 14 teams in Illinois.
Also recording top-six finishes on Tuesday in local NCAA Division I golf were University of Northern Colorado teammates Nicole Polivchak and Beah Cruz.
Polivchak placed fifth and Cruz sixth in the Rose City Collegiate in Aurora, Ore. Polivchak checked in at 6-over-par 222 and Cruz at 223 as Courtney Vogel of Grand Canyon won with a 5-under 211 total.

Workman, a University of Wyoming senior from Pueblo West, went 68-68 in the last two rounds after opening with a 74. That gave him a 6-under-par 210 total, which left him five strokes behind individual champion Sean Meehan of Texas-San Antonio.
Workman (pictured), who won the state amateur stroke-play titles in both Colorado and Wyoming last summer, made six birdies and two bogeys in the final round on Tuesday.
The showing marked Workman’s first individual top-10 finish of his career in a major college tournament. The Coloradan was competing only as an individual this week in Arizona, but two teammates tied for third on Tuesday — John Murdock and Aaron Lickteig — both one stroke ahead of Workman.
Also posting a top-10 college finish on Tuesday was the University of Northern Colorado’s Nicole Polivchak, a freshman from Sarasota, Fla. Polivchak tied for seventh individually and helped spark UNC, which placed fifth out of a 16-team field at the Bobcat Spring Invitational in Goodyear, Ariz.
Polivchak went 74-73-74 for a 5-over-par 221 total, which put her eight strokes behind champion Tara Finigan of Portland State.
