SHEBOYGAN, Wis. -- Just a year ago, when the PGA Championship was played at Hazeltine in Chaska, Minn., it was still considered a pretty big deal to beat Tiger Woods. nfl jerseys
A lot has changed in the months since, but Y.E. Yang's victory is no less impressive.
Woods was 14-0 when he went into the final round of a major championship atop the leaderboard. He had not lost a tournament in nine years when leading by two shots on the final day. NHL jerseys
But the 37-year-old South Korean changed all that, closing out Woods in dramatic fashion to become the first Asian-born player to win a major.
Leading by one on the final hole, Yang lashed a hybrid 3-iron that cleared the bunker and settled 12 feet from the cup. Authentic NFL jersey
Yang made the birdie to close with a 2-under 70, giving him a three-shot victory when Woods missed another of several par putts on the day and shot 75.It was the second time Woods finished as the runner-up in the PGA Championship at Hazeltine, both times to a surprise winner. Seven years earlier Woods birdied the last four holes and came up one short of Rich Beem. jordan shoes
Yang was No. 110 in the world at the time, his only victory on the PGA Tour coming in March at the Honda Classic in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., on a course across the street from headquarters of the PGA of America. nike air max
