Go, SOUTH KOREA!!! (PGA content)

Sign in to disble this ad
I had to root for Yang in the last round of the PGA championship. You've gotta love the happy-go-lucky underdog that comes out of nowhere and faces down the giant. Also my son is from South Korea so that adds something too.

Congrats to Yang and I hope that he goes on to win many more.

For those who missed it:

- 1st Asian-born person to ever win a major

- 1st person ever to beat Tiger in a major after Tiger starts the final round in the lead.

Nice win by Yang.

Why didn't Tiger let Yang putt last?

I saw the last two holes. Shot of the day (from what I've seen) was Yang's 2nd shot on the 17th hole

What do you mean "should"? Nobody is entitled to win, not even when you're the clearly the best in your sport.


If all sports were played out on paper, they wouldn't be nearly as fun.

Tiger is and has been one of the two or three golfers for years. It's neat and all that some nobody won the PGA today, but I really prefer when the big name guys duke it out every major.

Anyone remember Rich Beem? Yeah, see? I didn't think so.

Im a Tiger fan, but I give respect where its due. Much props to Yang. I have to admit, Im an rooter for the underdog as well.

Usually they will let the winner putt last if it's a short putt. Yang's putt was no gimme.

That 3 wood wood he hit on 18 was incredible.

It sure was. I wonder if golf shops around the country are being swamped with people trying to get one now.

I can't stand watching predictable games. It's so much more fun when you never know what's going to happen. If you knew who was going to win, then it wouldn't be a sport.

And no, I don't remember Rich Beem, because I've gotten into golf only in the past two years.
