Y.E. YANG'S STUNNING PERFORMANCE

Y. E. Yang the winner of the 91st PGA Championship



"I knew the odds were against me.
I tried to be the least nervous
I have ever been and went for broke,"
said Yang, speaking through a translator.
"I've sort of visualised this quite a few times -
playing against the best player in the history of golf,
playing with him in the final round in a major.
I have always dreamed about this."

Yang Yong-Eun has stunned the world with his superb performance in the 91st PGA Championship and became the first Asian-born male winner of a major championship when he beat Tiger Woods at Hazeltine.

The 37-year-old South Korean was two shots behind overnight leader Woods .The dramatic turning point was when Yang made an eagle by a 20 -foot chip whereas Woods could only putt for a birdie at 14th hole. From there on, Yang led until the final green where he carded 70 compared to Woods's 75 to win by three.

Yang, who was ranked 110th in the world before the event, claimed his single PGA Tour victory at the Honda Classic at Riviera earlier this year, but was best known for holding off Woods at the HSBC Champions event in China three years ago.

Yang's victory ended Woods's run of winning all 14 of his major titles when leading going into the final round. He also has denied Woods's chase for a 15th major title and a record-equalling fifth USPGA title.
