The Yang And Tiger Show

Let me start by saying Y.E. Yang won the PGA Championship tournament yesterday beating the heavily favored Tiger Woods. It wasn't necessarily that Yang played so good, but Tiger just played average. Unlike those before him the first Asian champion capitalized on every mistake Woods made. . Yang only scored a 70 but Tiger scored a 75. I started off by saying he beat Tiger Woods because that seems to be more important than him winning the tournament itself. I knew it was just a matter of time before someone didn't choke on the opportunity when they had the chance to beat him. He slid through his opponents grasp last week, but it was a different story this time. The intimidation factor didn't work on Yang. The fact that he was playing a golf legend didn't throw him off his game.

It's not like someone doesn't lose every time. That person is just never Tiger Woods. This marks the end of an era. This win contained a lot of firsts. Tiger Woods was to golf what Mike Tyson was to boxing. I was watching a match the other day and the gallery was following Tiger and he wasn't in the lead. Let's see if Y.E.Yang will be his Buster Douglass. This just goes to show you don't count your chickens before they hatch. They had all but given Tiger the trophy and the check. It wasn't Padraig Harrijgton, V.J. Singh or any of the other regular contenders. It was a virtual new kid on the block who was in PGA training school last year.. You win some you lose some. Even Tiger.
